Probably about a week ago after I had done a zypper dup, my daughter
complained of not being able to print across the network. lpq and lpstat
showed the printer was OK locally and across the network, so I tried
printing locally - the job was stuck on the queue and not printed.
Below was what happened subsequently. Since it sort of printed (black
page) with my build of hplip, I thought it must have been the factory
2.8.7 application. I shall have a closer look with YaST now the 3.9.4
packages  pointed to by Raymond Wooninck have been installed.
Regards
Sid.
