Hi all, Finally it became necessary to have some printing facility from my oS 12.2 KDE 4.9.5 machine. There are two available printers in our workgroup (this time it is a group of people). The first is a HP network printer with fixed IP. The other is also a HP and connected via USB to a Win XP box, also with fix IP. Both printers work fine from Win machines. I read tons of documents in the last days, but none of them could be made even to spin up its toner. I tried to set them up with CUPS and also with YAST. Also installed hp-plugin. The network printer's IP can be pinged, and I see the other as a share with samba. Tried firewalls on and off on both machines, but to no avail. I need some help because I am totally confused by now. Thanks for any hints. Albert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
