Sometimes it takes some searching and experimenting to nail down the printer. The openprinting.org site is terrific for locating print drivers/info, it indicates that the WP-4530 driver is epson-201113w. Check to see if YaST recognizes that, but I suspect you may need to install the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr package first. The Epson site indicates your printer is supported under Linux, and it has an .rpm you can download/install but it is much better to get it through YaST.
"Fixed" Thunderbird format.

How does one install something thru YAST? Is there a list, and if so, how do I access it? I am used to Synaptic, which provides a list of everything in the repo and you can then select it and apply the install of all selections. If there is no list, how do you know what's available? And then what is the process of installing, say, "epson-inkjet-printer-escpr"?
Simple way: start up yast. Choose "Software Management". Follow your nose :-) There is a search button there. Don't worry about installing epson things yet. However, if you search for "epson" you will at least see one package: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr - Epson ESC/P-R Inkjet Printer Driver
I see that I can keep this app from double spacing by not using a carriage return at the end of the line.
Well, I don't use "return" till end of paragraph. I let it automatically format the paragraph. It is better at that than me. Also, this allows the mail to reflow at the recipient size regardless of his screen size.
What a cockamamie system. Anyway, I seem to have a couple of mails open at the same time, so if I'm doubling up on questions/answers, I apologize. If I get an rpm from Epson, I would normally install it using the rpm command, but then the file would be in the download directory, and it probably needs to be somewhere else. Where?
If you need instructions for how to install directly an rpm, there are several ways. One is directly with the rpm command. It doesn't matter where it is. Another is to create a local repository. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
