At test the DeskJet prints the whole testpage out. Else it's not printing anything at all.
I have no idea what is wrong here. Does it print the testpage several times correctly? Perhaps it prints only one job and then because of whatever error the queue becomes disabled at the end of the first job?
If the testpage prints, there is no ned for further "netcat" and/or "nmap" tests because the testpage print shows that the port is the right one and that you can send data to the printer.
Ok Johannes. Its a pity. I have just tested all the 3 printoptions, and it was ok. Ok about the netcat and nmap.
On another HDD on this computer I have SuSE 9.3, and 9101 is quite ok here. My point of view tells me, that it has something to do with this SuSE 10.0 Eval.
But 9.3 and 10.0 both have CUPS version 1.1.23 and I don't think the differences (i.e. some bug-fixes) cause this problem.
Ok.
Inspect the CUPS error_log file, see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jsmeix_print-cups-in-a-nutshell.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- If problems are encountered:
1. Set the "LogLevel debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. 2. Stop cupsd. 3. Move /var/log/cups/error_log* to another location (or delete it) in order to avoid having to search through gigantic log files. 4. Start cupsd. 5. Retry the action leading to the problem. 6. Now /var/log/cups/error_log* contains many messages that are useful for troubleshooting. --------------------------------------------------------------------

I will do that Johannes, and thanks for your help. Erik
