Then you launched the "Add Printer" dialog which shows that no printer is autodetected. You also used the "Connection Wizard" where you selected "usb" which also shows that no USB printer is autodetected. As far as I see everything in YaST works perfectly well. It just shows the truth to you: No printer is autodetected by CUPS on your system. As root verify this by running # lpinfo -l -v (in the end the same command is run by YaST when it calls /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/autodetect_printers) The reason why no printer is autodetected by CUPS on your system is whatever lower-level stuff (perhaps whatever change in the lower-level libusb and/or USB kernel level). See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_a_Printer what you should try out first of all regaring USB printers, in particular as root do # rmmod usblp # modprobe usblp and then run the CUPS usb backend directly # /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb compare http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell "The Backends" Furthermore you may search in /var/log/messages for USB related error messages. Regarding a workaround for parallel port <-> USB converters see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=264219#c1 For a related (but even more complicated) issue have a look at bug #562282 what else might be done to debug your particular case. -- 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.
