Hello,

I installed HPLIP on SUSE 10.2. It appears to be installed ok but it cannot find my printer. Any ideas what is wrong? The printer works from my windows machines.

Thanks

Clark

What is your printer? Is it networked, USB, or other ...

Are you using YaST, hp-setup or hp-toolbox? YaST does not see certain HP printers, and the hp configuration support is a little more useful for HP printer or scanner setup in any case.

Have installed the HPLIP from the distribution or from the HP Linux site?

My printer is a HP Photosmart C7180. It is connected via wifi and works fine under Windows. I obtained HPLIB from sourceforge. I have version 1.7.4. I initially tried to get the printer working in YAST but it wouldn't see it. So I downloaded HPLIB and it doesn't either. I initially tried another version of linux, Mepis, using a live CD. It had HPLIB on the live CD and it found the printer just fine, right out of the box. I've tried HPDeviceManager and HPSetup. I'll try them again just to be sure...... Wait!!!!! Stop press! Man are you good! You fixed my problem. I started HPDeviceManager, it did not know of the printer. Ran HPSetup from the DeviceManager screen, just like I had done many times before, and it found it this time. Also printed a nice test page. You are the one! I have no idea why it didn't work previously except my wife told me she had to power it down yesterday. Something must have been twitterpated in the printer, although I know I tried the same thing over the weekend. I hope it continues to work. Thanks for your reply!
