I know there have been some posts this weekend regarding printing problems with 9.3. Perhaps I'm not understanding those posts, but I could not find a solution to my problem in them. Did I overlook something in those posts?
Again, a clean install of 9.3
It recognizes my HP Laser Jet 5P, and as far as I can tell the printer was configured properly during the install. But no matter where I try to print from (e-mail. or a word processor, or a page from a website) all I get is a line of gibberish at the top of one page and then blank page after blank page after blank page. The only way to shut off the printer is to clear the printer memory.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. Has not helped.
No matter what I do I get the same result.
The printer was working great this morning under 9.2 before the upgrade.
Wife and I are totally stumped and don't have any ideas.
Thanks for your guidance. Gil
Perhaps others on the list with this printer will respond with a definite answer to your problem. This suggests something lacking in cups for 9.3 for this printer, perhaps you could try "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage" perhaps also with --force the 9.2 cups-SUSE-ppds-dat, also see if anything in the following URL is worth trying. Does test print work OK? http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_5P Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
