Hi all: I am having problems get HP-Tool box working. I am using a new install of Opensuse 10.3. It is up to date. I have updated HP-LIP to the lateest version 2.8.4 on recommendation of the HP-Lip help list. So far I can use the printer, but can not get HP-Toolbox to recognize the printer no matter how I configure printer. I believe the problem is with Suse print system. When I delete the printer profile it leaves a non-configured profile in Yast:Hardware-printer. When I configure/edit the non-configured printer profile I am left with that profile and a new one that is properly edited. The non-configured profile does not go away even when the printer is powered off. I believe the extra profile confuses HP-Toolbox. Can someone help me sort this out. Thank you very much.

The other solution is to use HP-toolbox to create the printer instance instead of YaST or cups.

Should not the non-configured profile be deleted/replaced by the new/edited profile. Not sure how all this is supposed to work. Hope this is some help to you. -- Yours, Ralph.
