I would really hope that the HP1020 driver will be included in the 10.1 and following editions of SuSE Linux.
No. See http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-info-for-manufacturers.ht... which drivers we can include and see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/1998/06/ke_printer-gdi.html for some reasons why we cannot include problematic drivers and why we normally don't include drivers for problematic hardware. The driver with a matching PPD for the LaserJet 1020 doesn't work because - see what I wrote before: ----------------------------------------------------------------- You need the firmware of the printer (which cannot be included in our producs because we don't have permission to re-distribute it). You need to set up the firmware upload stuff. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Furthermore note that even the free HP driver HPLIP does not support this model: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/productslj.php In general see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2000/08/jsmeix_print-kompatibel.html
Also the driver for Broadcom NetXtreme NIC.
I don't know about such a printer ;-) Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix@suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
