We are no longer testing the installer on Suse 10 and are discontinuing support installer support for Suse 10 in the next release of HPLIP.

You can look over this document:

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/novell.html

Which should help you with installing HPLIP on suse 10. Or you can try upgrading your Linux version.

Hope this helps.

Also HPLIP comes with the HP 2133 (mini note) and the version that is included supports your device.

Instead try running:

sudo hp-setup

to configure the device.

Hope this heps.
