That makes a lot of sense. What a mess. I see that we're still at the configure make and make install stage with opensuse. It almost certainly explains why Yast gives only one resolution. I'm sure there is something else wrong too because it makes an awful noise whilst printing. With eprint, it sounds the same as via windows, and the quality is excellent.
I'm sorry you are suffering so. I've had great success with my printers with Linux but then I've not used HP this century. I'm currently using a Brother model that isn't produced any more. The closest is this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/brother-hl-5450dn-black-and-white-printer-black/6003035.p?id=1218712328630&skuId=6003035 and I get extended ink cartridges at a fraction the BestBuy price from a 3rd party supplier in Montreal, that would be http://www.123inkjets.com/Brother/Laser-Toner/HL-Printers/HL-5450DN/8098-Pri... for the above. Actually I wait for their annual sale and save another 50% :-) Sure, call me "cheap". Originally I ran my printer with a parallel port from my dektop, but also used the USB port for my (Linux) laptop. The laptop was a HP. Yes, I'd buy another HP laptop. Now I have it networked off my switch and that means my tablet and phone can also use it via my wifi router. Brother supports this for Linux, both .rmp and .deb http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=hl5450dn_all&os=127 Source is avialbale. I never bothered. http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-5250DN There's an old wives tale that UNIX prompted the development of postscript. Dunno, but i've always used postscript _capable_ printers with UNIX and Linux even when I don't use them in postscript mode. See http://www.openprinting.org/driver/Postscript-Brother of course there's also http://www.openprinting.org/driver/gutenprint but I've never had any success with that. I'd get another brother Printer, but to be honest my use is getting less and less paper oriented. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
