I use SuSE 9.1 on two machines. Today I have found an interesting issue. I cannot print from Mozilla (regardless of version), FireFox or Opera (including version 7.54 from opera.com) if I use LPRng. Using CUPS there is no problem. But Netscape 7.1 and Konqueror don't complain. In /var/log/messages is an entry: Dispatch_input: bad request line 'POST /HTTP/1.1'. If I start printing the named browsers stop. In Mozilla I tried the 'old' print command lpr -Pprinter. The result is the same. As soon as I activate the print command, Mozilla stops responding. When I run 'rcldp restart' the browser responds again. I must say that under SuSE 9.0 everything is OK. Printing from CLI , OpenOffice.org and other applications presents no problem. I would appreciate any clue.
I am afraid I don't have any clue what is going on on your system.
It seems somehow as if your Mozilla FireFox or Opera are linked with CUPS libraries or something like this but as far as I know neither Mozilla nor FireFox nor Opera are not linked with CUPS. Because you wrote "from opera.com": Do you use self-compiled versions of this browsers? Does it happen with the SUSE packages of this browsers too?
How did you switch from CUPS to LPRng and vice versa? Do you know that cups-client and lprng conflict - see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2002/09/jsmeix_print-einrichten-81.html
What happens when you print from Mozilla FireFox or Opera into a file and then print this file by using "lpr" or "lp"?
Did you re-start all the stuff (printing system and browsers) after you switched from CUPS to LPRng and vice versa? To be safe do a complete reboot at least for a test.

Hello, It's Tuesday and as I have said, I installed the stock SuSE 9.1 on a brand new PC at the office. After that I did Online Update. During installation I have switched from CUPS to LPRng. To be short. Mozilla can print. Everything is as supposed to be. I do not know what have been changed on two SuSE 9.1 machines that refuse to print from Mozilla ... If I ever find the source of the problem, I will let you know. Regards Zvone Zagar
