I am not able to get my HPLaserjet 2300 printer to working in suse 9.3. I set it up with yast for the tcp address 1.9.168.0.31, it says it is ready, but printing a test page results in nothing. http://localhost:631 show the print que as waiting. I can ping the address fine. I get the following from the /var/log/messages which appears to say the printer is trying on the parallel port.

(This all worked in suse 9.2) Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

1) The IP address you show isn't valid. (probably a typo) 2) It appears it is trying to print to a parallel printer. Something is wrong in your setup. Go back to Yast and try again.
