I believe it's supplied by SuSE, but will not work untill you download 
the driver software from sourceforge and install it. Then create the 
printer in my case I had to manually create it for network connection. I 
remember having trouble at first getting the control panel to recognize 
the printer, eventhough the web access worked and I was able to print. I 
believe after rebooting and then starting HP Device Manager 
(Applications/Utilities/More Programs) it detected the printer and 
worked fine after that. I t seems to give you more accurate status of 
your ink as well as access to self maint. that is built into the printer.
