I have stopped the Firewall temporarily hoping this would do the trick but alas, using Yast>Scanner I get:. With the introduction of Tumbleweed (at least I have only just seen it,) there is now a separate button for Scanner and the printer driver for HP Color Laserjet 2840 all in one is available so this is what I have been trying. As far as I recall I never tried to install the scanner part of this printer, it just worked until I changed to Tumbleweed when the scanner no longer worked.

It has been a problem since I purchased the printer many years ago but this method worked for me. I have never succeeded in finding this printer by search button and hplip crashes when I try and use it.


All my previous printer installations and this present installation with this printer have been done using Yast>Printer install and by using the Connection Wizard using TCP Port (AppSocket/JetDirect) and inserting the fixed IP address of this printer using manual insertion of IP address.
