/snip/ I have snipped everything--it was getting too complicated. I went to YaST and installed hplip. I also specified the hp as the default printer, altho that is not what I really want; I would prefer that any time I want to print something, it asks me which printer. Now, assuming I get both printers to print once more, I will probably wind up with a batch of useless printouts since I forget to tell it to use the epson. (The reverse would also be true if I specified the epson as default.) While I was at YaST, it seemed to think that the printers were directly connected, so I changed that to a lan setting. I can't believe that it was always wrong--for a while both printers would print, even tho it got the epson paper size right only about half the time. It was mentioned that Epson is not a "preferred" printer--I forget the exact quote--but I selected that years ago for its color qualities: Epson has a reputation as having the best color rendition in the business. And anyway, I'm not about to scrap it. It has been a good and faithful servant, but this master has not been. I would welcome some advice as to what to do at this point to get both printers working properly again, even if it is to wipe out all present configurations and start the printer setup from scratch, which I suspect might be the only logical answer. Thanx for the patience of all who are aboard this train. . . . --doug
