0Hi..
I have a HP C5280 All In One printer.
It's connected to a NAS server.
I want to have my opensuse computer to be able to print to it via the
LAN I have.
But I'm in doubt how I shall use to set it up.
I have look at the HPLIP, and the printer is linuxcompatible.
I got it set up to be used via the LAN from 2 windows xp computers.
The NAS server tells this to set up printers in the network
The Path 2 was the one that I used for setting up the printer in Windows.
What Path would be equal to set up in opensuse 10.3 ?
*Type 1. As Network Port*
/Path 1. Through My Network Places/
1. Open *View Workgroup Computers* in *My Network Places* and double
click on the Disk Station.
2. Double click on *usbprinter*; the system will prompt you to
install a correct driver. Please insert a printer setup CD, and
then click Yes.
3. Select the manufacturer and model of the printer. Then click OK.
4. The system will start to set up the USB printer. Please wait until
the setup is completed. Then you may start using the printer.
