Just great...
This bug right here is the perfect example why openSUSE is not Ubuntu. Because a bug that it's a deal-breaker for Joe-Regular-who-owns-a-LPT-printer it's just being thrown around between developers like a hot potato. And it doesn't even seem so hard to fix. As a matter of fact I'll try to make that package myself even though I'm not sure how to do it right now.
Reply; I am a Joe Regular [deal-breaker is correct!]and use 3 Win OS machines, circa 1999-2005 (all dual boot to Live Knoppix); two Linux machines (ex Win XP) circa 1999, 2001, using (regretfully) Open Suse now 11.4 All laser printers are workhorses using parallel port. The upgrade to 11.4 OpenSUSE destroys completely the ability to use OpenSUSE on any on my machines. My solution is a USB to Parallel MAC OS rated cable. Comment original and 1 did not work. Linux forums say is great way to go green by keeping old machines in use and is normal way I get others to use Linux. If OpenSUSE does not detect parallel printers it is on way out of usable distributions. Sorry for outburst but I almost moved the Linux box on OpenSuSE to A N Other Linux system.
