On a working printer & system I needed to change the printer definition on one of two systems each with a printer [samsung laser and hplj4]. Yast2-printer stalled at 50% [loading configuration] and had to be closed. When I tried again the cups daemon died when trying to save the printer definition. I found that /etc/cups/ was empty! Re-installing the printer function in Yast2 did not do any good. Is this a result of the samba lan? or some other interaction of the systems? Has anybody experienced this problem? Any ideas and suggestions. If yes could you share your experience? Thanks -- Cheers, Serge [Naggar Consulting]
