Hello!
Since many years I encountered on multiple PC a strange thing: sometimes, in yast an HP printer goes to “unactivated” (yast2 / printer / [HP printer] / checkbox “active”).
I often need to go to yast to check again this box. It’s true on multiple PC and multiple printer models but just for a few part of them and seems to be “random” (I am not able to reproduce).
I have this problem since openSUSE 13 I think.
For the following informations, it’s a new PC with a fresh and up to date 15.3 on. The printer is new too. Repos : official + packman.
I have installed first hplip frome opensuse’s repo but it was too old and I needed to use the HP’s script to make it work.
For now, everything seems to be good apart this checkbox.
What do you think about? Thanks.
PS: I “chmoded” the ppds by hand at 644 but it steals to be unable to read them (?).
PPS: Is there a way to activate it by yast printer? The function seems to not available.
