Hi! My QEMU virtual machines, created on 32-bit OpenSUSE 11.0 don't work on 64-bit OpenSUSE 11.1. The Windows 98 VM stops while booting, with the messages that there's trouble with configmgr. WinXP also doesn't boot. Has anyone already encountered this "bug" -- or is it just normal behaviour? Must I redo all my VMs from scratch?

Hmmm... anyone using QEMU at all? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How can I get a windoze machine to recognize a CUPS printer? I think I've achieved it before using Samba, but is there a simpler way? (The necessary driver is already in the windoze box).

I am not sure what "windoze" is, but if you are talking about the popular Microsoft Operating system called "Windows," then yes what you describe is possible. You can use IPP, Windows XP supports it so I suppose Vista does as well.

The URL you will use is http://hostname:631/printers/PrinterName

Replace "hostname" with the name or numerical host identifier, and "PrinterName" with the name of the CUPS printer queue. You might need to change some CUPS settings (namely permissions) to get this working.

If you want to use Samba, it is rather easy IMO. Just install Samba and setup the hostname and workgroup name... the CUPS printers are automatically shared... and you still have to mess with permissions.
