Printer works fine, wireless The problem was I was out of black ink (I didn't realize this) and I had 6 jobs waiting to print, 5 were test pages because my 1 document wouldn't print, so I kept trying to see if it was a wireless issue with each new test page, eventually I gave up. I'm not sure when but a few days laster I could not log in. I would get to my splash screen. I would type my username and password and the process would keep up and never log in. I used a a live disc to learn than my /var/log was at 27g. Messages and wern held the majority 13.8g each. As going through the forums process in opensuse, Here is my post http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/450335-c... I learned, "syslog registered one message many thousands of times, several gigabytes of logs, instead of filtering the repeated message. Here are the two files that were the trouble http://susepaste.org/860249 After learning the two files were able to be deleted, I am back up and running as usual.
