Sorry, I've been asleep, then at work.. :-) I managed to run rccups start, and I also went into the print manager via the "start" menu and tried a restart. When I try to print the job joins the queue, but won't move to the printer. I copied the log file (below), but it doesn't mean anything to me. :-( I've been reading the docs but there is so much information on CUPS that I am becoming confused. I am not sure if this has confused the issue or not, but when I was setting up my IDSL I entered the name of my ISP (exetel) into a field where it requested "server", and since then the Konsole prompt for root has been exetel. I am wondering how I replace that, and how it might effect my system. Newbie is a bit scared to make changes. Oh, I just thought: maybe Yast is failing because of the same reason. ??? Regards, Colin
When I had problems with my separate firewall, I just setup the SuSE Firewall to get it's IP address via dhcp from my cablemodem, I didn't try the DSL setup, but from what I've just seen, DSL seems to include the firewall. The firewall setup under YaST is under "Security and Users". It seems you have inadvertently changed your hostname to exetel, you can change it back via YaST --> Network Devices --> Network Card Configuration. To the printing problem -- "lpstat -t" should give you the status of the printer subsystem, that would be helpful.
