In short you connected printer using USB instead of parallel port cable.

I would need more details on this, like this:
Printer connected to computer and turned on.

Do you see printer in YaST list, or there is no nothing?
What message below list tells?

You can mount hard drive connected to USB port, but not port itself.

It is obvious that there is no many with Canon Pixma MP830, but without more
details people that know how to setup printers can't say what might be wrong,
or help you to troubleshoot problem. For instance it would be helpful to turn
printer on and run:
dmesg | tail -n10
to see what kernel is doing. Is registered any activity on USB port.
Then command:
hwinfo --printer
can give some information.
Post both, don't just tell conclusion:"I don't see anything relevant"

I just set up the printer, self-test worked, connected the printer to a
USB port on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. Yast spotted both the printer
and the scanner. The printer test failed. I checked and found that the
printer was listed as a parallel printer connected to lp0. I changed the
setting to USB printer only to get the message, "No USB devices found.
It seems that your USB bus is not properly configured" I changed the
connection to a USB connection that works with an external storage
device. Same message.
What do I do now?

Hi,
I am using 10.3/32bit and my toolk for monitoring cpu temp and speed,
fan speeds and the like is lm-sensors with the KDE frontend ksensors.
Up to SuSE 10.2 this used to also display the temperature of my harddisk
if I had hddtemp installed.
Now I have hddtemp installed, but for the life of me I cannot get
ksensors to display my harddisk temperature. Anything else from
lm-sensors is there. I am using ksensors 0.7.3 from packman.
Any hints how to get my harddisk temperature into ksensors to be
displayed on my desktop are appreciated?
Thanks much for help
Eberhard

Hello SuSE people,
Running 10.3 64 bit with KDE. I installed compiz-fusion. I find it locks up
some applications and some other things don't work so I want to turn it off
until I have more time to play with it. It starts automatically at boot up.
Stupid question #1. How do I turn it off ??
SQ # 2. How do you close an app without going up to the menu bar "File" and
then choosing quit from the drop down list?
SQ # 3. How do you minimize an app? or resize the window?
There's more but I just want to turn it off for now.

Hello,
I have openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored
80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to
install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install
windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most
multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first
then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and
setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and
want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this
possible and how?
Thank you,
- Jake

Hi, after installing 10.3 (another story!) I tried to run VMWare server
1.0.3 and it didn't work. Downloaded the latest (1.0.4-56528) and
installed and all seemed to be working OK. After running for a while,
the virtual disk corrupted (XP - no snapshot :-( ). Have since
reinstalled, and it seems very unstable - breaks KDE (no mouse/keyboard
input) and corrupts the virtual disk. Anybody else experienced this, and
if so, any ideas? Thanks.

If I wanted zypper/yast to save the rpm files it downloads when doing an
online update, how would this be done?

I recently upgraded to 10.3 from 10.0 on a Sony Vaio PCG V505DP
laptop. My 10.0 setup was very stable, but I am experiencing a serious
problem in 10.3 with unclean shutdowns. Every so often (once in 5
times, maybe) my KDE refuses to shut down - some windows, like KNotes,
stay on screen, but nothing happens. My keyboard works, so I can
switch to text console, manually kill all processes and then re-boot
with ctrl-alt-del or reboot. However, the system refuses to shut down
cleanly. It goes through all the normal stages without any error
messages, gets to the point of unmounting the file systems and then
goes
oops - cannot umount /: device or resource busy
And then it halts immediately. When I run it again, there is always a
ton of transactions to be replayed (I am using ReiserFS).
I looked through /var/log/messages and /var/log/XFree86.0.log, but
neither seems to have any error messages. I checked my hardware status
with smartctl, and it reports being fine. How could I begin to trace
this?

Dear Mr. Roloff,
thank you very much for your reply which shows a way to achieve the
disered result even though it is not Suse. As not much of an
Linux-expert, I have additional questions.

When inserting the Knoppix-CD into the drive and then booting the
computer is already running, so will be the hd. So how to turn off the
already running hd?
Reading the CD each time seems to be cumbersome. Would it be possible to
start the computer with its hd, start from there Knoppix, and then to
turn off the hd?

Of course I would like to save e.g. the emails received to the hd. Can
this be done when using Knoppix?
or, better, you save soundlessly to an usb stick.

I understand that DSL will have to be installed in my computer before
I can use it. So the problem of how to switch off the hd is there, again.
