HI I just bought HP Laser Jet 1020 and it is not working properly in my SuSe 10 64 bit box. At first there was no driver at all for this printer so I downloaded the driver from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ and successfully installed it and followed the steps described in http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 for SuSe 10 After installing the driver I rebooted my machine run yast2 this time there was the driver every thing auto detected prefectly , infact I hit Test print page and get the prefectly printed test page but the problem start then After quiting from yast2 I opened a simple text file with kate and tried to print it , but nothing happened , infact my printer light started blinking. I am giving below the out put of cups' error log as well as out put from dmesg cups' error log ------------------- I [23/Feb/2006:01:38:30 +0530] Scheduler shutting down normally.

After that if I try to print some thing the printer light start blinking , infact restarting the printer does not do any good. The only way I can print again is to remove the printer reboot my system and install it again.
