------- Comment #22 from jsmeix@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-04-11 03:54 MST -------
In attachment #129516 there are many entries like
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E ... (/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel) stopped with status 1!
E ... Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0":
      Permission denied
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
which indicates a problem with the parallel port device node
and not with CUPS.

There are some bug reports about problems with the parallel port
in our Novell/Suse Bugzilla. A good report to start is
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=185135
See also the other bug reports which are mentioned there.

The current workaround is to experiment with various BIOS settings
and explicite additional settings in /etc/modprobe.conf to find a
setup, which actually works in a particular problematic case.

Note that a PPA printer cannot print plain text directly
so that a command like
  echo -en "\rHello\r\f" >/dev/lp0
must work without error-message (watch "dmesg" and /var/log/messages)
but a PPA printer would not print anything.

I guess something regarding the parallel port was messed up
during the one installation of the operating system and
after the clean new installation the parallel port stuff works.

All in all the various different errors together with the
harddisk stuff seem to indicate that your hardware might be
somewhat unstable which leads to various different unexpected
and unreproducilbe problems.
