i have never had any problems with suse since 6.1 printing using lpr and apsfilter and that is to hp, lexmark, ibm and cannon printers. what kind of problems were you having? On Sat, 8 Dec 2001, Scheme Loh wrote:
I never had much luck with stock SuSE 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 lpr and my HP 6MP printer either. Some stuff printed alright, some stuff was 100 pages of crap
I switched to CUPS and it gave me a single "lp" printer which seems to handle all documents I throw at from my w2k machines, and my MacOS9/X computers will print everything but .pdf or postscript based files. I think it's a driver problem on the Mac side though, since it seems to report itself as a color printer, which it is not. At least I get a tidy one page error notice and not page after page after page of junk.
Here, it's CUPS forever. I've stood over my printer screaming all manner of cuss words for the last time.
apsfilter package in SuSE 7.3 FTP is buggy and needs to be fixed for HP LJ 6P. I have not tried compiling my own apsfilter since ifhp filter solved the problem. mk
