Setup in yast or hplip both see and recognize printer but all text pages and attempts to use this printer fail. I have followed the usual methods and was able to install another older printer which works to a degree random out of paper faults on older printer. I tried different usb ports and still no go. I have no idea what to try next. The ppd files are installed. On another system with drive issues this printer did work. netcat: connect to localhost port 631 (tcp) failed: Connection refused cwsiv@localhost:~> sudo zypper install cups-filters No update candidate for 'cups-filters-1.25.0-lp152.1.8.x86_64'.

This is exclusive to one machine. No such nonsense with the other printer which is also hp.
