Running on KDE platform and am trying to set up a new printer which is set up with a static IP on my subnet. I have downloaded and installed the HP drivers from HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw Software and Driver Downloads HP Customer Support.
This package includes scanner and printer drivers and once these were installed with the install.sh provided I was able to set up the printer using Yast.

Note I could not use the add printer button and HP-setup on this machine even with firewall disabled. To install the printer I had to use System>Print Settings (which runs system-config-printer) add a new printer and then select network printer.

I was offered two versions of the specific driver and also the option to find the printer using the APPSocket/HP JetDirect. Since I have always previously used this method to connect to my network printers I used this, which allowed me to enter the IP. It uses port 9100.

I have re-installed the printer to ensure the correct PPD driver is installed and printing is not a problem but I am stuck for what to enter when trying to use the Yast>Hardware>Scanner tool. If I use the simple Add button I get the encyclopaedic list of scanners but not the one I want. The driver is installed by the hp downloaded script but I cannot find it yet.
If I use the Other tab and try running hp-setup I get:-

FYI I was able to set up and scan from this machine yesterday but in trying to reproduce it lost the lot. Bottom line is that I was able to scan or at least have the scanner installed and found ready to scan using Skanlite, which I interpret to mean that the software is here in my machine somewhere.

I have made most attempts with firewall stopped without success. I have also tried a couple of edits of the .conf files but restored them to what had been there when I started as there were no changes.

I have just now gone to my HP-Z640-1 computer which is in my room not the office. The only difference I could see and now need to check is that the printer driver url is [uld-hp/HP_Color_Laser_MFP_17x_Series.ppd].

The printer has an input slot that can take up to 150 sheets of plain paper, while the output tray holds 50 sheets. The supported standard media sizes include the A4, A5, A6, B5, Oficio, and some custom sizes. On the other hand, it supports several media types, including plain, heavy, extra heavy, preprinted, colored, and light papers. Its supported media weight is between 60 and 220 gsm, equivalent to 16 and 59 lbs.
