My printer is a HP DeskJet 840C and I've just printed an abiword doc I have had around for a few years, so it may be a problem specific to your printer.

I've had the printer for about 7 years. It's worked with all SUSE versions since 6.1. Problem is it now won't print with 10.0 with non kde apps, which was not the case before, 9.3 was fine. FWIW I can run Kanotix and print from non kde apps.
Perhaps its a bug with SUSE 10

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. end of line Lee -- --- KMail v1.8.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v10.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.
