The HPLIP version which is in Suse Linux 10.0 provides a driver for the DJGenericVIP device class and when the HP PhotoSmart C4480 is sufficiently compatible to the older models which belong to this device class, then at least plain printing should work with the HPLIP version which is in Suse Linux 10.0 when you select another model from the DJGenericVIP device class.
As I said in the previous message, this worked for me. Next I tried to set it up as a scanner. I got a message in yast: HP All-in-One Devices HP all-in-one devices require a special setup. In this case, an appropriate dialog is shown. There are two software packages that provide support for HP all-in-one devices: the old HPOJ software (package hp-officeJet), which provides the PTAL system (with the ptal service) to access HP all-in-one devices, and the new HPLIP software (package hplip), which provides the hplip service to access HP all-in-one devices. Both software packages can be installed at the same time but the services cannot be run together. Because a running service is required to access the device, either ptal or hplip must be used to access all HP all-in-one devices. Does this mean that if I set it up as a scanner, I can't use it as a printer? Or how do I shift back and forth? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Where is Bill Stringfellow now that we really need him? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
