A quick search did not reveal anything helpful, forgive me if this has already been covered and I missed it. I’m new to openSUSE (and LINUX) and I’m using 11.1 with KDE. I’m trying to install the HPLIP and the ‘make’ command fails with status code 2. I’ve installed all of the dependencies except cups-ddk. This is not installed because I cannot locate it. cupsddk (without the hyphen) CUPS Driver Development Kit 1.2.3-65.105 is installed. Any assistance is appreciated. The full affair follows:
