2.3.1.1 Adding Drivers with YaST
If no suitable driver is available in the Find and Assign a Driver dialog when adding
a new printer, no PPD (PostScript Printer Description) le for your model is available.
For more information about PPD les, refer to Section “Installing the Software”
(Chapter 11, Printer Operation, ↑Reference).
Get PPD les directly from your printer vendor or from the driver CD of a PostScript
printer. For details, see Section “No Suitable PPD File Available for a PostScript
Printer” (Chapter 11, Printer Operation, ↑Reference). Conversely, you can also nd
PPD les at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/, the “OpenPrinting.org
printer database”. When downloading PPD les from OpenPrinting.org, keep in mind
that it always shows the latest Linux support status, which is not necessarily met by
openSUSE.
