I provide for testing HPLIP 2.7.7 for the released openSUSE 10.2
and Suse Linux 10.1 and Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (SLE 10)
and for the openSUSE development version openSUSE "factory"
for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64)
via the openSUSE build service at
http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/

The packages are
* only for testing
* without any guarantee or warranty
* without any support 

As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center
crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem.

Nevertheless, I am very interested in your feedback because the more
people test it, the more problems (even hidden problems) are revealed.
To send me feedback or bug reports, please follow the instructions in
http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports
Choose the component "Printing" (also for scanning/faxing with HPLIP).
Make it obvious which package, which package version, which hardware
architecture and which openSUSE version you are talking about - e.g.:
 "Feedback regarding hplip-2.7.7-21.1.i586.rpm
  and hplip-hpijs-2.7.7-21.1.i586.rpm from
  http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ 
  for openSUSE 10.2 used on 64-bit AMD hardware."
Ideally provide the "rpm -q --changelog hplip | head" output
to make it obvious which exact package release you have.


A special note reagarding my packages:

We (i.e. Novell/Suse) provide /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules
with more explicite permission settings than HP's original
and additionally for the newest kernel/udev machinery in 
the openSUSE development version openSUSE "factory"
we match also against "usb":
------------------------------------------------------------------
# TODO: add PROGRAM rule for 7/xx/xx printer class interface
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", GOTO="hpmud_rules_continue"
# For backward compatibility match also against "usb_device":
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GOTO="hpmud_rules_continue"
GOTO="hpmud_rules_end"
LABEL="hpmud_rules_continue"
ACTION!="add", GOTO="hpmud_rules_end"
SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", OWNER="root", GROUP="lp", MODE="0660"
LABEL="hpmud_rules_end"
------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason is that since whatever newer kernel version
"usb_device" events are no longer emitted by the kernel.
It is just "usb" now and therefore 55-hpmud.rules must
be adapted accordingly, see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294161
and for some background information see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659
and in particular its consequences regarding scanners start at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250659#c21


For more details regarding my current packages, see
