I've had a Samsung laser connected on an USB port for a few years now, all working quite well. I change the cartridges and they were all recognised by the printer fine but i could no longer print anything. So i went back to basics and decided to delete it and re-add it. Its aSamsung CLP-325W (wireless) laser.
Now, using Yast (and CUPS), detection of the printer will not find a USB connection. It comes back with the following options but no USB:
1. a serial:/dev/ttyS0. 2. socket: and ipp: network addressed with correct model but also cannot print a test page (error: "Unable to add document to print job") 3: parallel:/dev/lp0
The "Connection Wizard" gives you a USB option but there is nothing in the list to select. I've tried moving the printer USB cable to other working slots but still no joy.
Anybody have any ideas how i can get an opensuse 13.2 tumbleweed KDE 4.14.5 system to recognise a printer on a USB port? My Canon USB scanner works fine. Just a thought, had a similar problem with my networked hp laser. Solved by installing missing cups filters package but cannot recall which. I have following installed, you can compare: cups-filters-foomatic-rip cups-filters cups-filters-cups-browsed cups-filters-ghostscript
note: I am using hplip which you are not. Thanks Patrick. Its just the detection of a printer on the USB thats not happy. I've checked

It just seems Yast and CUPS are not checking USB for printers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
