13.2 Hi I'd like to install cups 2.0.2 from the printing repository. I went to yast - software - software repositories - add
The only understandable guide I found was http://opensuse-guide.org/repositories.php https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Add_package_repositories
But no printing anywhere.
1. what is printing repository? 2. where is it? 3. how do I get it? Go to main page: <https://www.opensuse.org/en/> Click on "get it".
You get to <https://software.opensuse.org/132/en> Type "cups" on search box.
You get to <https://software.opensuse.org/search?q=cups&baseproject=openSUSE%3A13.1&search_devel=false&search_unsupported=false> You will see several boxes. One says "cups", top left. click on it.
You get to <https://software.opensuse.org/package/cups> At the bottom, it says "show other versions". Click there.
You will see on the page a list of opensuse distributions. Click on yours (13.2). Then click on "Show unstable packages". You should see this:
openSUSE 13.2
official update 1.5.4 32 Bit 64 Bit Source 1 Click Install
Printing 2.0.2 32 Bit 64 Bit Source 1 Click Install
etc. See the word "Printing"? That's it. OMG. Stop there. You are a genius. Thank you so much.
I rebooted and got a photo just as good as motorola, right to the edge, without stripes and without it making an awful grinding noise. Why does the documentation make it so cryptic?
You can click on "1 Click Install", or better, right click on the 64 bit link, copy the link to the clipboard.
It is something like this:
<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/x86_64/cups-2.0.2-170.1.x86_64.rpm>
The repository URL you have to add in YaST is <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/> No, no. Don't spoil it. Now you sound like the documentation. Keep it simple!
Now you follow the instructions on the first link I posted (the SDB), and add it.
On this other link <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing> you find all sort of interesting info about printing in openSUSE and Linux.
