1. HPLIP is installed, most up-to-date for 13.1, but not most up-to-date in general. So am using a driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 rather than 8610.
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8620 and an 8615 (Sam's club badged 8610), both working on my home network with hplip-3.15.4-1.1.x86_64.
2. I am using the USB port on the router and the USB port on the linux box. This way I know the IP address of the router and Carlos say it's the same as the USB port on the router.
Unplug the usb, then query the router for the wireless address of the printer, or using the front screen of the printer to determine it's address.
3. In print queue setup in YAST, I try to print a test page, which fails. I click on "failed test page" and YAST gives a diagnostic window, says "printing job #___, printer is busy".
Do not use yast, as root from the cl use hp-setup select 2nd option "Network/Ethernet/Wireless...." select "Show Advanced Options" select "Manual Discovery" type the ip address in the window, leave the port as is. Next You should be able to follow the rest on your own.
4. After I try this several times, the print queue contains several pending jobs. I delete them all and start again, with the same results.
5. I went on line and found this:
"You have selected SUSE Linux 13.1 using the HP Officejet Pro 8610 E-all-in-one Printer. SUSE Linux 13.1 supplies HPLIP 3.14.6 and it does support your printer. As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP."
so maybe I should not change. Any ideas of what is next?
Be sure to program subject router for "ip allocation" and assign the ip and mac address of your 8610 to "Fixed Allocation" or whatever language your brand router uses. ps: I have also completed this task using yast with the router plugged usb to "computer" not router but should be no different. Also used yast to configure printers using wireless, but it is necessary to first *know* the ip address of the printer(s). see: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/HPOfficejetPro8620.jpg -- (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
