wireless printing with opensuse 11.3
 

I am having issues printing to an hp laserjet p1006 printer. I tried to manually set up the printer using socket://10.0.1.1:9100 and a popup said user name and password.The printer listing said I needed to install missing plugins. So I deleted the printer listing and then installed the hplip-3.11.run without problems and let the installer open the printer port in the firewall. I do not get the same pop up, and it is still not printing. My box has a wireless nic and I run ./wlan0down then ./wlan0up to get the nic working after boot up. The printer is attached to an apple airport express and works with an imac wirelessly.

If you have hwinfo installed, try this:
with the wireless nic plugged in, run "/usr/sbin/hwinfo --printer" to see if OpenSuse detects the printer, and "/usr/sbin/hwinfo --netcard" to see if the nic is detected..

If the printer is detected, and if you are using the KDE environment, open a terminal and run "kdesu firefox" (or whichever browser you prefer). when the browser comes up, in the URL box, enter "http://localhost:631" to get into the CUPS printer management. Choose to add a printer, then go through the configuration to configure your printer.
