I just switched from Fedora Core to SuSE. My first growing pain...

My problem is that I need to find and install the following packages:
cups-devel
python-devel
python-xml
PyQt
net-snmp-devel
openssl

I'm new to YaST, but my goal is to install the driver that will make my
printer and scanner (HP PSC1315) work. Ref:
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php. The instructions are actually
pretty straight-forward and they make sense, with only a few minor
glitches... but the search results don't include the packages.

One of the minor glitches I noticed is that I can't just add a mirror to
YaST as it is on the mirrors page. I must find the directory which has a
subdirectory named media.1. Did I understand that correctly?

I've noticed that SuSE does have RPM. That's great! I know how to use rpm
-ivh blah.blah_1.2.3-4.rpm. But should I just search Google for SuSE RPMs
for each of the packages? I'd prefer to get the ones released by Novell for
SuSE.

Thank you,
Vince Aggrippino
