1. HPLIP is installed, most up-to-date for 13.1, but not most up-to-date in general. So am using a driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 rather than 8610.
It may suffice. I would try that, instead of updating hplip, for the moment.
2. I am using the USB port on the router and the USB port on the linux box. This way I know the IP address of the router and Carlos say it's the same as the USB port on the router.
NONONONO! You can connect your printer directly via USB to your computer, but then other machines will not be able to use it. So better do not do it. You may connect your printer via USB to your router, but I said DO NOT DO THIS! This feature is only intended for printers that do not support network directly! If you do this, you are limited by the limited support of your router. Don't do this! And no, I did not say that "it's the same as the USB port on the router."
3. In print queue setup in YAST, I try to print a test page, which fails. I click on "failed test page" and YAST gives a diagnostic window, says "printing job #___, printer is busy".
4. After I try this several times, the print queue contains several pending jobs. I delete them all and start again, with the same results.
Don't try printing a page till your printer is installed.
5. I went on line and found this:
"You have selected SUSE Linux 13.1 using the HP Officejet Pro 8610 E-all-in-one Printer. SUSE Linux 13.1 supplies HPLIP 3.14.6 and it does support your printer. As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP."
13.1 has 3.13.10. The printing repo for 13.1 has 3.15.4, so if you decide to update hplip, use that one. From the Printing repo.
so maybe I should not change. Any ideas of what is next?
See my previous post, it explains all the procedure. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
