Before sending this I tried one more time lpr out. That generated a new error message:

I found a way to set a default from localhost/printers, and the error returned to
lpr: Unsupported document-format "text/plain"
What exact command line did you use?
lpr out
And what is "out", a text file? It is preferable that you copy paste from terminal directly, do not try to describe what happens. Like this: cer@Telcontar:~> lpr felix lpr: Error - unable to access "felix" - No such file or directory cer@Telcontar:~> cer@Telcontar:~> file felix felix: cannot open `felix' (No such file or directory) cer@Telcontar:~> file p p: ASCII text cer@Telcontar:~> It seems to me that your CUPS installation is borked... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

If it is, how to discover what's wrong, reinstall all packages? # zypper se -i cups | grep kage$ i | cups | The Common UNIX Printing System | package i | cups-client | CUPS Client Programs | package i | cups-config | CUPS library configuration files | package i+ | hl5470dwcupswrapper | Brother HL-5470DW CUPS wrapper driver | package i | libcups2 | HTTP/IPP communication and printer queue and job library | package i | libcupscgi1 | CUPS web interface support function library | package i | libcupsimage2 | CUPS library for working with large images | package i | libcupsmime1 | MIME database file routines for CUPS | package i | libcupsppdc1 | CUPS PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file compiler library | package i+ | mfc8910dwcupswrapper | Brother MFC-8910DW CUPS wrapper driver | package 'zypper ve' reports all satisfied. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

Wait for more advices. There is a page in our wiki that says what to do to reinstall all of cups. It is not as simple as reinstalling the rpms. Did you say you had two different printers as a result of your two installation tests? Try printing to each of them.
