hplip Missing gcc dependency

I am attempting to install my hp Deskjet D1660 printer and I am getting a dependency error that states i am in need of the GNU gcc C+ or C++ compiler. I know I have the latest gcc compiler installed on my system already. I am running SUSE 11.3.

error code:

warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: gcc (gcc - GNU Project C and C++ Compiler)
warning: This installer cannot install 'gcc' for your distro/OS and/or version.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.  
# zypper install gcc
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'gcc' is already installed.
No update candidate for 'gcc-4.5-4.2.i586'. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The C++ compiler is g++ - gcc is only for C. They are separate packages.

You say: “GNU gcc C+ or C++ compiler”.
The message says: “gcc (gcc - GNU Project C and C++ Compiler)”.
(the bold is from me)

You have the gcc package, but there is also an* gcc-c++* package.
using zypper is fast when you know what you want, but using YaST > Software > software managment and then the search function shows you what you might want.

Thank you. I was unaware of that. Thought they were one and the same.

Do you try to install the hplip by compiling it?
Is the hplip in the standard repo not usable for you printer?
