Actually, I wrote, and goofed on the address: (I have probably broken the thread, but I don't know how not to. It's my thread anyway, so I guess I can chew thru it if I have to.)

It drives me crazy.  I can't seem to print from Suse 9.3.  My main machine is down with unknown problems, and I have only the Suse machine.  I brought the HP 970 Cxi color printer over, plugged it in, Suse found new hardware, printed most of a  test page, and then decided to spit everything out and not touch it again.

Running on USB, but I can try parallel.  When I tell it to print, nothing happens.

When I go to YaST, it comes   up with parallel printer checked, and I move it to USB  --altho there are a lot of USB's available, and I don't know what any of them stand for.  When I go to test, it either prints in very light print, or not at all, altho paper comes out.  But when I try to print from KMail, nothing at all happens.

Would it make more sense to go to parallel print?  I can do that.  This machine printed fine to a parallel HP Laser Jet  when I had 10.0 on it, now it won't print over that length of cable, so I moved the other (color) printer right next to the machine, and plugged in USB.  Since the XP machine is down, I really need a system that can reliably print.  What can I do to find out what the problem is and fix it?

I'm using a Fry's computer with an additional 512 MB RAM, everything else is like I bought it, without an OS installed, about a year ago.

Thanx for any help--
