Hi Please reply to everyone or I have to ask again.
How do I add this? http: //download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/ Thanks What I've tried: yast, software repositories, add, specify url, next, url of the repository, http: > //download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/, next Cannot access installation media http: //download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/ (Medium 1). Check whether the server is accessible. I do as it says: Index of /repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2 Icon Name Last modified Size [DIR] Parent Directory - [ ] Printing.repo 14-May-2015 15:28 271 Details [DIR] i586/ 14-May-2015 15:26 - [DIR] noarch/ 27-Oct-2014 10:24 - [DIR] repodata/ 14-May-2015 15:28 - [DIR] src/ 14-May-2015 15:28 - [DIR] x86_64/ 14-May-2015 15:28 - Apache/2.2.12 (Linux/SUSE) Server at download.opensuse.org Port 80 MirrorBrain powered by Apache
Can you try it with zypper directly? As one line in a root terminal: [code] zypper -vv ar -n Printing -c -f -r http: //download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/Printing.repo [/code]
Either you get a message that the repo was added, or you get a detailed error message, that you can past into your mail as it is.

OK Got it. These guys have it: http: //ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/Printing.repo mirrors?
Mirrors are used for load balancing and locality. (no need for traffic around the world if the mirror at the university next to your ISP connection also has the data)
See: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Mirrors/Intro http://mirrors.opensuse.org/
The cavehead is that the software behind the redirection (Mirrorbrain) sometimes has "hickups" or no reliable info (e.g. IPv6).
Then such failures as seen by you can happen.
In such cases, replacing "http://download.opensuse.org/" with a known mirror server solves the trouble. (here "http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/")

Yes, Thanks for that. I ran into this with Ubuntu last year. They call it alternative downloads. I searched opensuse alternative downloads and mirrors appeared second, beneath the Ubuntu. There's only 1 Spanish mirror. Would this also explain why online update failed? Is there a way to choose that ftp5 site permanently, or a quick way of switching? Also I see that the printing stuff is experimental. Is it possible to freeze the repository and prevent it adding anything else now that I have it working? Thanks again.
