It has been said that Linux makes you pay with time and work instead of money. Just once, though.
However, I don't understand your difficulties with YaST and cups.
Of course you don't and I don't expect anyone here to either. You are an expert, probably of many years standing! I am amazed and gratified by the time and attention you and others have spared me.
Welcome :-) But I meant that I'm baffled by you not getting the top printer resolution. It should just work. Maybe if someone here chanced to be using the same printer as you, you two could compare setups.
I find them very easier, much easier than the Windows procedures. And HP printers just work — maybe there are exceptions.
FWIW, with windows, you switch on the printer and windows comes back with new hardware and then there's a button to either OK or cancel. On motorola you download the app and start it. No Yast or cups or localhost.
I also have Windows, and I installed my HP printer on it, too. I had to follow a procedure, which if I remember right, told to not connect the printer to the computer, but insert the CD first and run the install. And there was a reboot, i think. Apparently doing it the other way, and letting Windows do the detection, failed or broke things. And it installed hundred of megabytes of software :-o
I'm not trying to knock Linux in anyway. For some stuff like file servers I'm sure it's the best.
You have to get used to it. Things are different, and it takes time to learn. Once you do, I assure you that things become much easier :-) I use Linux for everything. I only use Windows for some pieces of proprietary software that only run on it, like the updaters for hardware gadgets I own. For me, it is actually harder to tackle problems on Windows. And I have (official) training... - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
