Thanks for your replies Basil and Joe.
I've tried the things that both suggested, without success.
If I reconfigure the printer in Yast then it will work until the printer
is switched off and on again.

So which is it, no success in getting it to print (i.e. initial config),
or inability to print after it is turned off and on? That is 2
different problems. And you give no error info to give us any clues to
even try to help. Assuming you have it working with hplip, what is the
output of hp-check? Also, your problem sounds familiar to a bug in
cups-autoconfig. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334166
for more info, or maybe uninstall cups-autoconfig.

Thanks to you I now have my printer working normally again :-)
The answer was in:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334166

Changing "yes" to "no" in the following config file resolved the problem:

/etc/cups-autoconfig.conf
DisablePrintersOnRemoval=no

Easy when you know how !
I am extremely grateful to you.

It appears the error has not yet been corrected - I re-installed all the cups
files to see if that would work, but it may have taken that file off the DVD

I've been told that there is another bug - see id=350956

Thanks again - Charles
