[opensuse] For Testing: new version of HPLIP (3.9.2)
Hello, I have provided for testing HPLIP version 3.9.2 (packages hplip-3.9.2 and hplip-hpijs-3.9.2) for openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE 11.0, openSUSE 11.1 and for the openSUSE development version "FACTORY" for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64) via the openSUSE build service at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rwooninck:/updates/ The packages are * only for testing * without any guarantee or warranty * without any support As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem. On the other hand this does not mean that those packages are known to be terrible broken but they are not thoroughly tested so that any unexpected issue can happen. For example I did some quick tests with a HP PhotoSmart C5180 all-in-one device on a 32-bit workstation with openSUSE 11.2Factory and printing worked normally. Do not use FACTORY if your system is 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1. Use the matching package for your particular system. FACTORY is not better, it is worse when you have openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1. Using whatever packages from FACTORY in a openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 system causes crashes in arbitrary cases because you would also need the base system from FACTORY. You can easily mess up your openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 system with FACTORY updates. In case of problems the RPM changelog via rpm -q --changelog hplip might provide hints which change cause an issue in particular on older systems (openSUSE 10.3). The version number 3.9.2 is higher than the version of the original packages in openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1 so that you may have to remove installed hplip-3.9.2 and hplip-hpijs-3.9.2 packages manually using (as root) rpm -e --nodeps hplip hplip-hpijs before you could re-install the original packages for openSUSE 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1.
