Hi,
To solve your problem, send the output of the following:
cat /etc/printcap cat
and
ls -lR /var/spool/lp
Here is the output of cat /etc/printcap

In my system I do not have any /var/spool/lp file. There is a /var/spool/lp1, which is apparently empty. This is the output:
/var/spool/lp1/: total 0
This may be the result of my attempt to install the printer again, as the SuSE support suggested me to do.
I have also these permissions for the /usr/spool/locks:
ls -lR spool/locks lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 feb 7 2000 spool/locks -> ../lock
that are wrong.
Many thanks for your help. I am seriously considering to abandon SuSE and install RedHat. It seems better documented. Besides that, I tried to tell to these folks of SuSE-Italy that, as a university professor, I have a remarkable influence in the choice of OS, and i was suggesting SuSE -- but they are apparently ignoring the point: one pays for support!
Thanks again, Guido, from Genova, Italy
