Don't bother about anything else. Just do this.

What command did you use for plugin installation? What happened?

Hello Keith,

> Please find attached files.

I read these mails on launchpad. I see no attached files or a way of getting them.

Ok, Keith, I'll assume the plugin is installed. Would you now give what
you get for 'lpinfo -v'.

Brian.

Not sure why the files didn't get to you.

My sent mail shows it went with 4 attachments.

Anyway here goes:

Let's do the Envy 6255 first. No plugin needed.

Its URI is

  ipp://HP1062E5FB54DE.local:631/ipp/print

Substitute in

  lpadmin -p envy6355 -v URI -E -m everywhere

Test with

  lp -d envy6355 /etc/nsswitch

The Envy printer is now available to my computer. I would still like to get the laserjet working.
Many thanks.

On the laserjet printer.
 I have configured it manually using Yast without hplip.
Seems to work fine as long as I don't set it to greyscale from an application (Libreoffice).
With greyscale set, I get the "filter error".
kl

 I don't know if it is connected, but since I replaced my black toner cartridge, I get "CUPS filter failed" when I try to print greyscale on my HP Color Laserjet 2600n.

Can the toner cartridge signal something to the printer which might trigger an error message. Seems to have started after I replaced the cartridge.

Good.

Now for the 2600n. It requires a plugin for printing. I am unable to help with a toner
cartridge issue.

The URI from lpinfo -v is

  dnssd://HP%20Color%20LaserJet%202600n._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/

The PPD is

  drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-color_laserjet_2600n.ppd

Substitute in

  lpadmin -p 2600n -v URI -E -m PPD

Print with

  lp -d 2600n /etc/nsswitch

Any joy?

Typo. The file to print should be

/etc/nsswitch.conf

I am beginning to suspect the toner cartridge. All works fine in colour mode.

All works well on another openSUSE computer with earlier OS
I notice the driver is Color Laserjet 2600nijs 3.16.5

I have been able to simplify the problem.
1)With earlier versions of hplip there are no problems. (prior to my upgrade to current hplip and openSUSE.
 2)on current version I get "filter failed" when I try to print greyscale on the 2600n (colour works fine).
