Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit the status page of Lexmark T52x or T63x laserprinter (MarkNet N2601e printserver internal) 2. Click "Print" button Actual Results: Java applet does not show anything in the window. Expected Results: Java applet should show a upload button to upload documents to print. Upon switching from the "openJDK" "Java implementation" to the "Sun" Java implementation everything works as expected. By default the version of Java installed in openSUSE should be a working one, such as the Sun version. -- 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.
