Ignore Windows. Look at yast, you'll probably find a CUPS entry for it or something close enough to work. I'm using a HP printer, a 1012 model, that my lawyer gave me when Windows 2000 made it abandonware. It does 12PPM (or something like that) and my complete cost has been a replacement toner cartridge four or five years ago.
Thank you for your kind words. I have discovered that the lightning did a lot more damage than I first expected. I cannot reach anything on the LAN except the internet connection thru the router. Not a laptop (which is also damaged) not the Epson printer, which is reachable from the laptop but not from this main machine. I can't ping anything, I can't run nmap from here, and from the laptop it runs and shows only the router. Windows 10 is also on this machine and it is in the same condition. Right now this is the only device in the house that I can use for email, and the laptop is the only device that can print (to the Epson which is also damaged--the FAX connection to the phone line is shot.) I will be looking for a disk test routine, but I don't have much hope in it. (It's not the router--I'm using an old one that was not connected when the blast hit.) --doug
