After HP Printers (Laser Jet Pro MFP M28a) on Linux in which I explain how to setup an HP Printer on Mint or Ubuntu like system now I want to exmpand it with an exmplanation on Opensuse Tumbleweed.

Preparation

Install libraries:

sudo zypper hplip 
sudo zypper in hplip-scan-utils
hp-check -t
hp-plugin -i

If necessary with wifi printers add firewall rules

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=home --add-port=5353/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=external --add-port=5353/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Setup Printer

Now you can open YaST Printer:

Open Yast Printer

Click on Add

Click on Add

After click on run hp-setup

Hp service config

Now you can configure as any HP printer in my case I must find the IP, chousing the second option and put it into advanced options.

Setup Scanner

Run YaST Scanner and wait, it will detect it automatically. At the end click ok.

Example of scanning from command line:

hp-scan -f test.png

But you can scan also using Skanlite or other tools.

Conclusions

Also on Opensuse Tumbleweed it seams work all features. So it remain my favourite operative system. So continue to use linux and join Open source!
