I recently upgraded from 7.3 to 8.0 Professional. Overall I am extremely pleased with 8.0. Unfortunately the Yast2 module for configuring a Novell printer is broken in 8.0. This worked perfectly in 7.3. I posted this at feedback@suse.de, but am hoping someone can help in the menatime. I have an HP 4100 printer connected to the parallel port of a Netware 4.1 server. From 7.3 I saved the files /etc/printcap and /etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_HP4100.upp The relevant line from /etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_HP4100.upp is REMOTE_PRINTER="/usr/bin/novell_print -S Woodlawn -U \"user\" -P \"password\" -q \"Q1\" -" where user is my username and password is my password. Woodlawn is the name of the server. The directories are different in 8.0 There is an /etc/printcap and then there is a directory /etc/lpdfilter/hp4100 In that directory there is a file called redirect which contains one line as below. /usr/lib/lpdfilter/redirect/samba_print //Woodlawn/"Q1" "password" -U "user" -N -P The above line is clearly wrong since it references "samba-print". In fact, if you configure a Samba printer you will get exactly the same line. I thought I could correct this problem by changing /etc/lpdfilter/4100/redirect to be like /etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_HP4100.upp Accordingly I changed it to read /usr/lib/lpdfilter/redirect/novell_print -S Woodlawn -U \"user\" -P \"password\" -q \"Q1\" I also tried /usr/lib/lpdfilter/redirect/novell_print -S Woodlawn -U user -P password -q Q1 and /usr/lib/lpdfilter/redirect/novell_print -S "Woodlawn" -U "user" -P "password" -q "Q1" None of these work. I can print a postscript file, however, by using the following from the command line. nprint -S Woodlawn -U user -P password -q Q1 test.ps. Note that novell_print is just a script file that wraps nprint. My current procedure for printing is to save the file as a postcript file and then print it from the command line. I would prefer to print directly from the application. I notice when I try to print from Kmail that "State" says Idle (rejecting jobs) I wonder if it is a problem with KDE 3? I have never been able to configure CUPS to print to a Novell printer, so don't think using CUPS is an option, unless someone has done this. I have tried reading the docs for apsfilter, but find it a bit confusing. any idas are apreciated. Mike -- Michael A.
