Which "control center"? - i.e. which desktop system? We have many printer setup tools: - YaST printer setup tool - KDE printer setup tool - Gnome printer setup tool - CUPS web frontend - for HP devices: HP's HPLIP driver setup tool "hp-setup" - anything else? Which printer setup tool are you talking about? Is there no meaningful window title or a "help" or "about" info in your printer setup tool? If you don't know which printer setup tool the desktop magic runs, provide a screenshot. For a HP Laserjet 1200 the Omni driver is a very poor choice. There are much better drivers avaialable for a true PostScript printer (prefer the HPLIP/hpijs driver or the original PPD from HP in the manufacturer-PPDs package). I assume it is the Gnome printer setup tool "system-config-printer" which belongs to the component "Gnome" which fails to select a driver which is known to work well for the HP Laserjet 1200. Regarding the Omni driver, see bug #464435 and bug #429345 and in general see http://openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=omni ----------------------------------------------------------------- IBM is not maintaining any more the Omni printer driver .. We do not recommend to use Omni .. also do not develop on or maintain the project. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding "When I tried to print from Evince": Does is only fail when printing from Evince? If yes, the root cause is probably an issue in Evince (e.g. bad PostScript output from Evince). Evince also belongs to the component "Gnome". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
