Trying to get this printer working became too frustrating, so I went looking for alternative solutions. It didn't take too long to find one at http://www.openprinting.org/drivers -- the brlasers driver package (rpm package printer-driver-brlaser included in Leap 15.0 distribution) contains at least 2 drivers that I have now verified to work with the DCP7040. The drivers in the package are written for 4 different printers, but I have verified the DCP1510 and DCP7030 drivers work acceptably well with the 7040. For anyone with this printer choosing to go this route, selecting these drivers in Yast is a little cumbersome; it is probably far easier to make the selection in the CUPS web interface -- but remember, when prompted, you will need to log into CUPS as /root/ and not as your user account. There are quite a few alternatives also available in Yast itself, for example several of the gutenberg drivers. These are a lot easier to install on this printer, but I didn't try them. Perhaps I'll test them out sometime (or maybe not). Thanks to all for all the help, and sorry for the short-tempered opening post of this thread. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
