To Patrick Shanahan, Charles Phillip Chan, and Ken Schneider: Well, gentlemen, I thank you for your effort, but it did not work. I even went into root to find a way to open kprinter and set/save the settings. Then I rebooted, and went and tried the printer. Same old thing with no change whatsoever! I really admire how you all get it work or know how to, where all I get is junk! I have no idea if Suse will ever work on my computer/printer, but I no longer am going to spend money to find out! I am on a fixed budget, as a disabled Veteran with 1 year in Vietnam combat, so I cannot go on spending. It is enough that if it breaks, for me to get it fixed. I have a 1.7gigaherz with 700+ megabyts memory plus 1 40gig C drive and 1 20gig Linux drive. What a waste of space the Linux drive is, I should have stuck with the 6gig I had before, if I was going to use Linux at all! =============
John, You can get off your soap box now. That little outburst is sure to get you plenty of help & answers. NOT! If you have the patience and are willing to help with info as you want help to fix, these guys & gals on this list will be most happy to help. If your patience is short, as it seems from your reply, then so will the help be short. It sounds as if you are not ready for the beauty of Linux on your machine and that you may have made some wrong choices in your hardware selections. I'm really not sure which the case may be, but a real veteran doesn't let a little thing like printing get the best of them. Sounds to me like if there was any desire to best the enemy in you, it's gone now, except Linux is not your enemy, it's what you use to beat the enemy. It doesn't matter what you are, what you were, what you have or what you don't have! Nobody sees or cares about that here. All we see is a problem that needs to be fixed and we try to help fix it. Whether the user wants to fix it or whine about it, is up to them. Please wipe your hard drive of Linux and use it for your Windows backup, as you will certainly need it!
