I had not updated the the ppds before the problem emerged. The only updates installed were those installed by PackageKit as part of regular updates. To try to resolve the problem I tried force re-installing software from the standard repositories using Yast / Software Management tool so my system should have been fully updated. This was before I engaged with the forum or raised this bug. I have rolled back the following updates:- CUPS openSUSE-2017-723 cups-pk-helper openSUSE-2017-706 kernel-default openSUSE-2017-716 kernel-firmware openSUSE-2017-746 glibc openSUSE-2017-715 The script would not work on:- hwdata openSUSE-2017-721 I rebooted the system each time to ensure that no code was left loaded. Still the problem persists. Also the printer was unplugged and re-plugged, with the occasional power off and on. Inspection of the other updates in the list didn't reveal any likelihood of relating to printing. If I am mistaken and there are some then please indicate which. I have also tried echo Hello | lp -d Epson and the same problem occurs. The command:- file /tmp/print-job-data.save reports that the file is not present. When I test printing I am using a plain text file either using lp -d Epson <filename> or printing from Kwrite.
