    Hello.

    When installing an HP Deskjet 500 printer (Suse 8.2 and CUPS), Yast2 will
    select a printer driver (hpijs) which does not work with the Deskjet 500.

    Do not bother, carry on with the installation, It is easy to get things
    working later :
    - Enter in the CUPS web administration tool with a web browser at
    http://localhost:631.
    - Select admin/manage printers/modify printer/....
    ..../modele/pilot
    - Instead of the preselected line "HP Deskjet 500, Foomatic + hpijs"
    select the line "HP Deskjet 500, Foomatic + djet500"
    There are several others pilots proposed which might be better than djet500,
    but this one works and I have not investigated further.

    This message is just to make sure the info will be indexed in some database.
