I installed SuSE 11.2 on my laptop (its wireless and connects to the internet) and am have trouble getting my wireless HP Deskjet j4680 to be found. I tried the printer options as root, but it does not give you an opertunity to select a wireless device to connect too. Does anyone know where I can download software for this. I tried HP, no luck:(. Thanks for helping.
I think, it can be configured as a network printer (Anyway, I haven’t seen this printer myself). As far as openSUSE is concerned, it is another network printer. It doesn’t matter if it is on wired LAN or wireless LAN.
I will give this a go.
click on the kickoff , go to App’s ,down to system, over to monitor.
Click on HP tool box(if it is installed, more then likely is) When it opens.
select, network,Ethernet,wireless etc,etc
After that, click on (show advanced options)after that click on manual discovery and put the IP add.in for the printer.
Click next.
You should be able to figure it out from there.
Make sure you have the right IP add.to get it to work.
If HP-toolbox in NOT installed, get it (via yast or zypper). The key each time I installed my HP printer (wired) was to manually enter that IP address.
