You should be able to install hplip with YaST.

thanks for the help
but i do not know how to install with yast
i open yast but not see were to do it ?
also when i go in the file in the system . i see that it is there
the same version that i want to install ?
they say on the hp site. it should be there and i do see it,but maybe i should re install it and was wondering it could be 32bits version and i am running the 64bit

This works for a Photosmart 7280:

Enable the packman repository in Yast. Search for "hplip", mark it for install then accept.

After hplip and dependencies are installed, from a terminal run "hp-setup" (without the quotes).

Follow the install wizard. You need the printer's IP address (set from the printer control panel in my case), the rest is pretty much automated.

After you have installed hplip, Open a console window and enter:

hp-setup

See: http://hplipopensource.com/node/332 For more information/help you might
want to look at the entire site:
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html

Also if you search the "hardware forum" for HP printer you should find a lot
of threads that deal with installing hp printers. With luck you might even
find a thread for the 7660.

You can also go directly into CUPS
http://localhost:631/
to finish the setup. For CUPS authentication use root for the username and
<your root's password> for the password.
