[NTLUG:Discuss] Heads Up -- Suse 11.1 BAD Idea

[Gilbert Morrow]

With SuSE 11.1 , I have a HP All in One printer  5510xi , it required a DL
for set up , had to DL new list of drivers for printers through YaST2 .
Should be asked to select HP drivers or cups , the new HP drivers are great
and have monitoring of cartridge levels .
Hope this helps .
If it worked in older SuSE versions chances are it will work in the newer
ones as well .
Wife is a smart person , stay away from the "U" . :-)
You can also DL .ppm files and import to printer driver area .
