HP 970Cxi, SuSE 9.3. Printer stopped printing after it ran out of paper. Yes, of course it has paper in it now. I have 2 of these printers, and neither one will print anymore, altho when I exchanged them, the system said "Found new hardware, do you want to configure it?" So I did, and it printed a test page. But now I can't seem to get back into the configuration, which must have some sort of problem, and the d....d Linux wants to open a wallet, whatever that means, and it wants a user name and a password, neither of which I know. (I never set up any wallet, or any password for that, as far as I recall.) This printer is connected via USB. Now what?
you don't say which versin of cups (? <1.2) or openSUSE, but if cups is less than 1.2, try: /usr/bin/enable <cups-printer-name>
I tried that, and was rewarded with "Password for doug on localhost?" I don't know what password it wants. I have tried all the passwords that I normally would use, and none of them work. Then it says: enable: Operation failed: client-error-not-authorized I don't know how to determine which version of CUPS is in use. Whatever came with Suse 9.3, I assume, unless YaST updated it along the way.
The path is necessary as 'enable' is a bash built-in command with a different function.
Second printer problem: I would be happy to use my Laserjet, but for some reason the configuration says that YaST didn't set up HPLIP--it would seem that it can't--and when I try to test the configuration the print light on the Laserjet starts to flash, but it doesn't print anything either. This printer is connected via parallel port.
