This is the setting from YAST. I also enabled port 9100 on the firewall.
That would be correct for a HP JetDirect. You might try deleting the printer and add it using the Printing Manager, it has always served me well. Also double check the driver and try a different one as a test.
I am using a netgear print server that goes on the parallel port of a printer with the ethernet cable plugged into network switch.
And which port does netgear use, what does their docs say. When setting up a network printer there is a scan function, use it to find the connection. If does not find it you are using the wrong network selection. It might be using "Network Printer w/IPP" or lpd on the port try both to see which one works. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
