[opensuse-factory] /etc/init.d
Hey Group; SuSE 10.3 Beta2 I use runlevel 3 just for info. I have recently had a problem with my printer which was found readily by Yast2. The problem is that every time I go to print I needed to run Yast2. I think I have found the problem. In /etc/init.d/rc3.d there is mentioned in the README a S20lpd linked to ../lpd. But there is no ../lpd script. The README mentions "/etc/init,d/lpd start" and "/etc/init,d/lpd stop" but there is no lpd script. lpq sees a print job waiting. lprm will remove so cups seems to be OK -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

Printing is done by cups AFAIK in 10.3a* no lpd script in /etc/init.d on this box and printing works no problem Pete -- SuSE Linux 10.3-Alpha3.

Thanks Pete; Well then check out their README in /etc/init.d which say "lpd start" and any note about rc#.d which shows ../lpd. Which is not even in /etc/init.d. And if anyone can explain why Yast2>Hardware>Printer has to be run to get it to print. It may be a problem with Yast2 are /etc/sysconfig not getting set. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

That file is just an example file explaining "The SuSE boot concept", obviously a very old file and nothing really to do with printing using cups. I think there is a LPD option in YaST to allow remote printing to servers that still don't do IPP. If I remember correctly, your printer is a HP, "hp-setup" from the hlplip package may be the thing to run. I used to have a problem where on every boot, YaST used to present me with a particular "NEW" printer found, hp-setup solved that and I only had to use YaST to get IPP broadcasting to work.
