running suse 11.0… downloaded all printer software…hplip, cups, etc.
HP systray icon shows up on desktop when starting. problem is…
when i try to use the hp device mgr get msg saying “no device found or unsupported”… strange because i set up printer on cups and i can print just fine, but as i say “device mgr” won’t work…
any help greatly appreciated

Hi
Did you run the hp-setup tool as root user?

Hi
Delete them all from cups, YaST etc and then restart hplip and cups.
Then re run hp-setup, not YaST

tried all that with same result… printer shows up in cups & prints ok but hp-device mgr a no go…
FYI… i resolved problem by downloading hplip… from hp website & installed it. hp-device mgr works ok now…
