http://www.openprinting.org/printers Hi I don't think they are up to date. Well, the "envy" are not even listed.
This is why I bothered in the first place. The 'Suse' listing for this HP printer has everything I want: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/other/envy_4500_series.html Apparently
you need hplip 3.13.6. I see that my 13.1 has 3.13.10, so it should support it. New version of HPLIP-3.15.4 is available for upgrade direct from the HPLIP website.
See http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/novell.html
Note that regardless of how up to date the Opensuse versions appear they always seem crippled. Often they won't do two sided printing or won't read status of toner/ink or they won't do scanning from all-in-one models.
I don't know if this is some limitation imposed by HP or some patent wariness on Opensuse's part, or incompatibility with cups. I've learned never to use the OS packages and install from the above. The sequence of commands they offer there seemed to work perfectly. That makes a lot of sense. What a mess. I see that we're still at the configure make and make install stage with opensuse. It almost certainly explains why Yast gives only one resolution. I'm sure there is something else wrong too because it makes an awful noise whilst printing. With eprint, it sounds the same as via windows, and the quality is excellent.
It's years since I've built anything. Is it really a case of following the link? Are there gotchas¿ e.g. What do I do to lose the current yast mess and start again?
Thanks again for your patience.
I just tried it this afternoon (on 13.2), but some things could not be found for download with zypper and configure ended with an error, make was not possible. Sorry I can't give more details, as I didn't spend much time, just cut and paste the commands from the mentioned page. As my cheap all-in-one HP prints and scans ok, I just gave it up. Advantage would have been, when ink status etc. would work...
