I upgraded from 9.2 to 9.3 a month ago. Printing to my Epson C86 worked perfectly under 9.2. When I installed (sorry - did not upgrade) 9.3, the printer was recognized and it looked like the print queue was setup. I just tried to print but things failed.
I played with the firewall settings but have not enabled printing. Can someone clarify what needs to be done to the firewall?? I presume it's the firewall since I found references to this being a stumbling block.

The firewall only comes into play IF you want to allow remotes system to print to your local printer. If you are trying to print to a printer connected to your PC from your PC the problem is somewhere else. Try lpstat -t (as root) to see the status of all configured printers. Try rccups restart from the command line (as root) to see if any startup errors occur. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
