Re: Howto install hplip updated version? [SOLVED]

Thanks so much. Simply copying the .ppd file, then installing the printer worked as intended. Another ticket closes.

Howto install hplip updated version? [SOLVED]

Hey forum I'm using CentOS 7 with kde desktop gui. Trying to attach a small HP printer, M404dw. HP's Linux imaging and printing package is the go-to solution. The hplip package in base repo is only 3.15.9, and seems quite old (circa ~ 2015 ?). According to HP website, I need version 3.19.6 or later ...

Re: What do you think of the recent Red Hat announcement about CentOS Linux/Stream?

Thanks a lot scottro for your time and detailed answer. +1 I've recently "upgraded" a soon-to-be-deployed server from CentOS 8 to CentOS 7, since 7 is perfectly suitable and now has a longer shelf-life. Its a strategy designed to buy plenty of time, while we wait to see how these changes all play o...

Re: CentOS 8 will die and be replaced by Stream

We won't be using any CentOS Scream. It sounds much too unpleasant. Happy to wait for future developments, especially to see what happens with Rocky and Cloud versions. Meanwhile, we're "upgrading" some workstations and small development servers from CentOS 8 to CentOS 7, hoping it survives until EO...

Re: CentOS 8 will die and be replaced by Stream

RIP CentOS 8. We hope CentOS 7 continues until 2024, BUT do we trust IBM/RedHat to stay true to their word ? IMHO Debian based distros including Ubuntu are about to become increasingly popular. Such a shame for those of us using RH since the mid 1990's. Or maybe some clever and energetic folk could ...

I imagine there will be more than a few centos 8 users "upgrading" to centos 7 in the near future.
How bizarre
Yes, either upgrading to CentOS 7, or Scientific Linux, or Ubuntu, or whatever.
IBM/Redhat have decided to kill the community.

8.3 is here. Still not fixed :cry:
See my post above. Fix not coming until CentOS 8.4 in mid 2021.
I'm not waiting. Moved on.
