Bingo! Avahi can handle All the phone wireless print needs.
Hi again With most retail outlets unwilling to let me try to connect to their boxed printers, I've had to go with what my friends have. Both the following work from my 'phone just standing near them and 'sharing' the photo with the printer. Here are the 13.2 results using yast in an attempt to set them up:
Epson wf2530 wifi is not recognised only works via usb does a hi res 10x15 print on photo paper right to the edge
HP 4500 wifi recognised doesn't print to the edge always prints at the same (low) resolution, despite what I set
Questions: - does anyone have the epson working with wifi? - does anyone have the hp working at different resolutions?
Thanks, B
I have an HP C4580. I don't know if that's the same type as you're referring to. It's often named 'HP 4500 series' in the settings but it's several years old. I got mine secondhand a year or two ago. Maybe the one you're referring to is much newer.
It does print edge-to-edge and at higher resolutions. All controlled via HPLIP.
Peter Hi Thanks. There seem to be two drivers in Yast: HP Envy 4500 Series hpijs, 3.14.6 HP Envy 4500 Series, hpcups 3.14.6 I'm not sure how to change from one to the other. Maybe this will give

You want the cups one most probably. hpijs is only for basic functionality. I'm not sure however that Envy 4500 is the same type as my own, which is an all-in-one multifunction. Sometimes YaST shows a driver already but which isn't fully configured. Either add a new printer and then delete the old one, or edit the existing one taking account of all options, some of them obscurely located in advanced settings or tabs.
Peter Hi OK, it looks like no way the epson is going to do wifi, so I'll concentrate on the HP, which does better photos anyway.
Mmm, it's certainly not intuitive. I've now tried hpcups and hpijs (I think), but it still only prints at low resolution. I wonder if I need to reboot the laptop or restart something after I've changed from one to the other? Do we have anything other than Yast to set up a printer? The only way I've found so far is to send to Drive and print from 'phone where I can choose exactly what I want. Maybe that's what intended these days anyway. I've all but given up on Yast. The ePrint thing maybe what I need, but all te HP site says that I need to email the document to the printer. That's more trouble than via the 'phone. And how do I get an e-mail address for a printer? Anyway, not given up yet... Thanks everyone for their help.
