Then point your firefox to the address of the printer that was printed in the status page:
You should reach a setup web page of the printer itself (I'm guessing it has one) and in there you can probably change the printer address to be 192.161.0.10, for instance, in a manner easier than the printer panel.
The setup page you printed should say if this local web page exists. It would be on port 80. If it exists but is disabled, you should be able to enable it in the panel.
OK! I did what you suggested, and moved the "1" in the ip to "0" and reset it in YAST and by golly it prints! I'm having a little trouble with the HP-- I set it up in YAST and it printed a test page OK, but then I tried to print from an app and it didn't, and it is "paused"--for whatever reason I don't know. Maybe I'm getting there. . . . --doug
Just added the HP to the static ip configuration, rediddled YAST and it seems to be working the way it should now. I HOPE I have put the printer problem to bed at long last, and this should close the thread. Thanx again to all who participated in this long-running tale of woe! --doug
