Mike, Is this a parallel port printer? If so, did you happen to take the time to read a bit of news about parallel printers after 10 installed? Probably not, but it should still be on the CD/DVD and may help to enlighten you on this. I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly what it said, but did mention problems with some parallel port printers.
I have a HP960C myself attached via the parallel port and it failed to work after install. Everything was set correctly in YaST2, but until I turned both the printer & computer off, it wouldn't print. After rebooting and all reintialized, everything worked.
Don't know if that might be your problem, that things need to reset, just thought I would mention those two.

Lee Yes it is a parallel port printer. I haven't seen the news, I'll look it up, is it in the release notes ? It will print a test page but will not print from Abiword or Open Office. I'll try switching off and restarting as well. Mike
