Printer Problems - please help
Hi all, I tried all day to get my Canon BJC3000 printer to print under SuSE Linux V7.3. to no avail. The system is a Pentium 1000. I had the printer going under SuSE V7.1 using turboprint, but since the drivers for the BJC3000 are now on the 7.3 distribution, I would prefer to use these rtaher than a third party product. The last thing I tried was to follow the instructions in http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jsmeix_print-neueinrichten.html to configure the printer from scratch, but this doesn't help either. I can configure the printer using yast2, it gets correctly detected and also figures out that it is connected to the usb port. The test print is however too successful, in that it keeps on printing the test page again and again, it only stops when I powercycle the printer. Trying to printing to the que using lpr -Pprinter1 fails with lpr: connect: no such file or directory, job queued but can't start daemon. lps status shows the entry in the queue. trying /etc/rc.d/lpd restart doesn't help either. What do I need to do next? Thanks Peter Sutter

Hi, I would suggest to try CUPS. Good start point will be www.linuxprinting.org . There is also forums (one especially for canon printers) where you can post printing problems. Audrius -- AV SuSE Pro 7.3
