OK I'm getting somewhere. The 4500 works with Ubuntu.
You just turn it on near the ap, put the password into it and that's it. The first time you have to print just one word but after that it's instantaneous. It's just as good quality as with android.
They think the opensuse problem is: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups Do we have anything like that?
What do you see in that page that can be the problem? :-o :-?
As far as I can see, it is the CUPS package list, and of course we have CUPS in openSUSE.
Or do you mean is there a mean with openSuse where you can see past bug reports/posting or different packages available? Please clarify the point.
And dhcp (?). But don't I have dhcp anyway if I can print something? And it works from a 'phone? And stupid. I didn't take my laptop to test on their wifi.
So, we didn't drill down and ask about the network, connectivity and addressing...
I don't see where DHCP comes into the picture. That's just the service, typically supplied by your router, that assigns IP addresses to all devices in your network.
Or... is it your problem that your Linux machine was not properly connecting to the network?
Ar you perhaps trying to connect directly, via wifi, to the printer? An ad-hoc connection? Instead of connecting your printer to the router, and everything accessing the printer via the router?
Who knows? perhaps when he started ubuntu it started a dhcp server, perhaps dnsmasq so that the machine not only gave the printer an IP address but knew what it was so they could communicate. It looks like there was a lot about the network, connectivity and addressing that we didn't ask buhorojo about while we were extolling our own favourites. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
