Comment 11 for bug 795015

Hello Goutam Kodu,

Thank you for your suggestions.
There was an error message on execution of the ./configure comand, so I went
to the instructions in the link mentioned by you:
  http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/novell.htmlin

And this worked !
The printer was properly recognised, the test page printed, as well as a one-
page file produced by LibreOffice. Strange that hplip had to be
compiled/linked locally.

Anyway, I am very very grateful for your advice, guidance and patience.

One last (I hope!) question: is membership of the group 'sys' really
necessary for being allowed to print?

Thank you again,
sincerely,

Hans Schreuder.
