I have been using openSuse for some time.
Printing was OK with 10.0. 10.1 and 10.2, but when I upgraded to 10.3 the
problem with the printer arose.
I have 10.3 on another machine and it displays the same problem.
I installed Kubuntu and there was abolutely no problem with the same printer.
I also have a Microsoft (spit !) box and it works OK with the same printer.
I have read another list where someone was having the same problem with the
same setup ie. 10.3 and HP Photosmart, however the guy was not given a
satisfactory reply.
The 10.3 that I am using is the downloaded version from a reputable provider.
I am contemplating buying the boxed version of 10.3 - but it is still a risk,
although it comes with 90 days support.
My other alternative is to re-install Kubuntu, but the problem with that is no
Realplayer and no Flashplayer.
My preference is to continue with openSuse 10.3. because I have grown used to
it and I lke it (when it works properly :-) )
I need someone to say "yes I had that problem and I solved it by .............
I feel sure that someone out there must have had the same problem.

I have installed OpenSuse 10.3 and my HP Photosmart 8450 refuses to
print. I have spent a lot of time trying to get it to work, but without
sucess. Could someone please help me to solve this problem.\
Works perfectly here (but I cannot get my Lexmark Laser 4039 to print :-(
).
Do you have the USB cable plugged into the right hole? It's easy enough
to plug it into the network port.
If it is plugged in correctly then I suggest you REMOVE it in Yast's
Control Centre/Hardware, unplug the power supply of the printer, plug
the power back in again and let 10.3 come up with the message Found New
Hardware -- or use Control Centre's Options Restart Detection of
printers; the printer should be detected as an HP 8400 series printer.
