Hi, I'm trying to connect and configure a network printer to my SUSE Professional 9.2 box. The printer is local to a FreeBSD RELEASE 5.4 box and requires a suitable PPD file for a PostScript Printer and I think I've found the appropriate download site for that. However, I'm experiencing a serious case of brain-fade. I remember, during earlier configuration attempts, working with a YaST-type screen which listed my printer and allowed me to download/select the PPD file. I don't see one now.
I've checked the TCP/IP network and name resolution as well as the remote lpd, but don't remember how to configure the printer with the appropriate print driver. I've also been successful at running the first stage of print "tests", i.e., SUSE recognizes the server and print queue, but doesn't print. Have a look at the Printer HOWTO, /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/Printing-HOWTO/ if you've installed the howtoenh package.
