Well I upgraded from opensuse 11.0 to 11.2 ... 11.2 is a fresh install ... wireless connections, laptop to router to wireless HP printer .. laptop firewall must be down to connect to printer ... so how do I configure my laptop firewall to allow printer to work ... I have tried to configure my firewall and noticed that the dsl modem and router are listed in the External zone which should also have the printer in the External zone
