Known issue but unknown reason therefore no real solution yet, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/howtos/known.html > How do I go about getting my print queue set up and defining the > correct ppd file for printing. Using YaST or a manual setup of the print queue should work. For a really manual setup use "lpadmin", see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell Short summary: To be safe restart the cupsd: # rccups restart Run the CUPS backend directly and note the DeviceURI like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp direct hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220?serial=00XXXXXXXXXX "HP LaserJet 1220" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The DeviceURI is here 'hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220?serial=00XXXXXXXXXX' (i.e. the second item which is output). Find a PPD file: # lpinfo -m | grep hpijs Choose a suitable PPD file and note the PPD file name. Set up the queue: # lpadmin -p <queue-name> -v <DeviceURI> -E \ -P </usr/share/cups/model/<PPD file name> > Side question: even though the scanner works in kooka, YaST2 scanner > shows it as unconfigured. This is strange but I would silently ignore it as long as it works.
