HP PSC1600 driver

English Hardware
#1

I tried to follwo the installation instructions and failed. From the download page it told me to:

Open a terminal or command line window.
Then run: sh hplip-2.8.9.run (the file I downloaded)

I opened a terminal and typed that in.
This is what was returned to me:

sh: hplip-2.8.9.run: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?

#2

update to myself. After playing with it some more. I made the file executable in the file permissions. That got it to run, but now it just stops at Initializing. Please wait…

Hi
For HP printers/scanners I’ve normally installed hplip via YaST or
zypper and then as root user run hp-setup. Then use hp-toolbox to
control, never used YaST.

Can you please explain zypper to me?

Hi
zypper is the command line utility for package management so you could
just run the following from the CLI;


sudo zypper in hplip

Everything done via a GUI, can be done from the CLI. Have a look at the
man page;


man zypper

You can also use it to get updates eg;


sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up

The first command refreshes the repositories, the second lists any
updates, the third will apply the updates.

your avatar is rather cute. I wish I can smile as happy as it does.
