Need plug-in file for a P2035N networked to SuSE 11.4

Asked by John Burski

I've got the HP Device Manager running but need the appropriate driver plug-in for a P2035N. It is a network printer and I'm attempting to connect from a SuSE Linux 11.4. box. I've tried to download and install from an HP authorized server, but the download process times-out.

Where can I obtain the appropriate driver plug-in?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response, Srikanth!

I ran the "hp-check -t" command and noticed quite a few dependency issues. I went through the report and resolved all those listed. The problem still persists, but now I get an error message that reads
"ERROR: Plug-in file does not match its digital signature. File may have been corrupted or altered. Error code:2"

The following is the result of running the "hp-check -t" command a second time.

FYI:

The latest HPLIP 3.11.10 release as ready-made RPMs for
various openSUSE and Suse Linux Enterprise versions
is also available via the "Printing" project in the openSUSE
build service for 32-bit i586 and 64-bit x86_64 architecture.

E.g. from this direct URL:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_11.4/
as packages "hplip", "hplip-hpijs", and "hplip-sane".
