[opensuse] hplip for officejet pro 6830 not working
Hi everyone, I have just bought an officejet pro 6830 which is supposed to run under openSuSE 13.2. (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_pro_6830.htm... ). Trying to install I've noticed that the required version of hplip is above 3.14.10. So I've decided to install the last one (3.15.7), the .run file. I've followed this steps (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html ) but when it asks me for the root password remains "thinking". How can I install hplip for my printer? Thank you in advance. -- --- Josep Solé -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Did you install drivers form YaST first? If you did not try it. Regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Hi Josep, the HP-run-file doesn't work for me either. Try to install the newest hplip from http://software.opensuse.org and then to configure your printer via YaST. This worked for me. In case you run into trouble also look at the cups local webinterface: http://localhost:631 via your browser. Hope that helps! Simon Am 23.08.2015 17:18, schrieb Josep M Sole:

Yes, you do not have the repo enabled for the higher versions.

Remove the version from HP and install the one from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/ zypper ar -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/Printing.re... they you should have access to the higher versions of hplip
Could CUPS be of any help in this case?
I doubt it, but I don't know. I use hplip and have accessed cups after already having the printer installed. Have you tried installing your printer using YaST2 -> Hardware -> Printer But you will still need to add the repo for yast to see it (above "zypper..."). zypper and yast share repos so the zypper command will add the necessary repo for you. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Done and working! Although it's not the same version of hplip. I mean the installed is 3.15.6 instead of 3.15.7 from HP. Anyway I've got it working. Thanks a lot. -- --- Josep Solé -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Glad to help. Yes I added the repo and updated hplip. I personaly prefer the openSuSE version. I didn't know about that repo.
Thanks again. -- --- Josep Solé -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you for your answers.
And still looking for a solution.
Let me offer the opposite advice of most people here, and suggest you continue to install from HP source. With all due respect to the maintainer" Opensuse's version is perpetually behind, often hozed and broken, and often refuses to work even with 5-8 year old printers. (Usually, but not always, obsolete PPDs). Not all functionality is supported in the Opensuse packages, or it arrives late, sometimes 10 months behind HP's release. If you have more than one HP printer, or a new HP Printer, the chances of the OpenSuse version being suitable is reduced further. Rather than fight this every few months: I always install from HP. Currently 3.15.6, (But 3.15.7 is available). I get full functionality from my two HP printers as well as an all-in-one scanner/printer/fax/copier. I recommend complete removal of the Opensuse package if you had it installed because it seems to cause problems just being there. Make sure you have Opensuse kernel headers (sources) installed, enough to recompile modules at least, and a competent build suite installed as well. Download as a user. Not root. Make sure the user you log in as can run sudo. (Test with susd -s to see if you can get a shell). Follow this page: (with due deference for that example being Ubuntu)
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html Select Automatic mode. It will create a work directory with a boat load of code.
If it hangs you don't have a proper build environment (most likely case). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You paint a rather dire picture of the effort behind openSUSE repos and I have to disagree.
If you have more than one HP printer, or a new HP Printer, the chances of the OpenSuse version being suitable is reduced further.
I presently have an HP OJ Pro 8620 and an HP OJ Pro 8615 networked using hplip. And both scanners work from five linux and two windows boxes. The faxes are not configured as we have no need for that antiquated service. They are about a year old now but were installed using hplip when new. When installing a new printer, I have seen the need for a newer version of hplip than that supplied in the base repo but the "Printing" repo is usually up to date or a minor version behind, which you haven't even been bothered to update per later paragraph.

For a rather new user or appearing so as not knowing about instituting different repos, this is a somewhat daunting task. But the OP is free to pick his "poison", as everyone can. Hopefully he will weigh his options carefully. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
