HP printers and all-in-one devices (printer, scanner and fax) are very popular in Brazil. In this post, I show how I have my HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3836 setup to print via network on openSUSE. Other HP printers can be setup the same way.

Today's major release of openSUSE Leap 15 is offering professional users, entrepreneurs and ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) a new, fresh and hardened code base for their workloads that supports modern hardware, based on a stable, community- and enterprise-based open-source GNU/Linux distribution – but developed with a modern, more secure, better tested and much more open...
