unable to install hplip-0.9.6 on my OpenSuse

Hi!
I have been trying to configure my HP 3300 MFD on my system. It connects through the parellel port. So I have been tryin to install hplip-0.9.6 from source. However eventhough ./configure is successful, make is not. It aborts with the following output -

Any suggestion, how I can overcome this?

Did you follow the instructions on this page?

Ok, I tried as per the site refered by you. The make command now runs a bit longer than before and aborts with the following output -
.............................

/home/aditya/hplip-0.9.6/prnt/hpijs/hpijs.cpp:459: undefined reference to `hpijsFaxServer(int, char**)'

make[1]: *** [hpijs] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/aditya/hplip-0.9.6/prnt/hpijs'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

So, I am still unable to install hplip,

Did you install the hpijs driver as well? Maybe this is required. Check this link: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install_hpijs.php

HPIjs is already installed. Still I am getting the same error,

I have finally discarded HPLIP and have installed HP-OFFICEJET on my system and have managed to configure it. HPLIP doesn't seem to be gelling with my system.
