Hi everyone,
I have just bought an officejet pro 6830 which is supposed to run under openSuSE 13.2. (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_pro_6830.htm... ). Trying to install I've noticed that the required version of hplip is above 3.14.10.
So I've decided to install the last one (3.15.7), the .run file. I've followed this steps (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html ) but when it asks me for the root password remains "thinking".
How can I install hplip for my printer? *Always* try packages built for your distro, first: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/

And openSUSE repos are slightly behind hp's but they catch up.
The version installed via Yast is lower than required (3.14.10).
Yes, you do not have the repo enabled for the higher versions.
~> rpm -qa hplip hplip-3.14.6-2.2.4.x86_64
This is the reason I've tried to install from HP.
Remove the version from HP and install the one from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/ zypper ar -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/Printing.re... they you should have access to the higher versions of hplip
Could CUPS be of any help in this case?
I doubt it, but I don't know. I use hplip and have accessed cups after already having the printer installed. Have you tried installing your printer using YaST2 -> Hardware -> Printer But you will still need to add the repo for yast to see it (above "zypper..."). zypper and yast share repos so the zypper command will add the necessary repo for you. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
