Regards Sid. Hi Sid; Cups working fine for me on openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3-M6. Hardware is Dell Studio 1745 laptop with Brother HL-1440 connected via USB to parallel cable.

How did you install your printer, through Yast2 or from cli?

73s! Tom

I used YaST2 to set up my printers. I never had to do that until Milestone 5. Using YaST2 --> Services only does one thing and is equivalent to "chkconfig cups on". Either way it's enabled, but does not start automatically as it should. I have now edited /etc/sysconfig/cups and added options shown below. I shall see if that fixes it on the next reboot. slipstream:~ # ps fax|grep cups 10150 pts/2 S+ 0:00 | \_ grep cups 25058 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Shown below what? :-))

CUPSD_OPTIONS="" changed to CUPSD_OPTIONS="-C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
