Did you read the last comment? Simply install nmap from the standard openSUSE Tumbleweed repo. No need to add some abritrary (invalid) repos for PowerPC!!!
Btw, “if” you want to add some repo you should familiarize yourself with the command syntax. There are even correct examples on the s.o.o site. By using the repo file, you don’t need to specify the repo alias yourself (as you did). The repo name is part of the repo file…

‘nmap’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of ‘nmap’ found.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.
How will software distributions evolve further also for network utilities?
@elfring Stay on focus for the issue please, nmap is in the non-oss repo, just install that, no more, no less.
Provide the folks trying to help you with the requested information.

Really? You do not not even have a proper set of Tumbleweed repos…?

Will the software capabilities be clarified any further for this device?
The results show that it has port 631 open (consistent with a printer supporting the IPP protocol). If the printer was advertising itself via Bonjour, CUPS would dynamically enumerate it as an IPP printer ie no configuration needed. However, you can manually configure CUPS for this printer using
sudo lpadmin -p printername -E -v ipp://192.168.178.31/ipp/print -m everywhere
Substitute ‘pirntername’ with an actual printer name you’d like to use.
See how that goes.
I would appreciate to see more of such functionality in action (also on my system).
Thanks for such information.
I was unsure about the required path for this print service.
Another test printout has succeeded with KWrite for a small text file.
Will the chances grow to achieve the same result also with the USB connection?
Ok, so IPP printing is working as expected. This printer model only supports IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) over network connections, and not over USB.
