[opensuse] Canon MP830 found but won't print

Strange doings: The Canon PIXMA MP830 was spotted by Yast and a test page was printed. A day later, I sent a fax successfully. Now, the damned thing won't print -- not even a test page. It prints self-test pages. When I send a document to the printer, I hear the printer whirr and make other noises. Oddly, the KBJobViewer notes a docuiment with n bytes but 0 pages! Has anyone "out there" any idea of what is going on? The people at Canon have no idea about Linux. -- Best regards, Dennis J.

Use your printer queue administration commands to remove the bogus print job.

Canon refuses to recognize linux. In fact, when I once sent an e-mail about printer drivers for Linux, they didn't even have the courtesy to even REPLY with a form letter. Screw them. If they can't be bothered to support me, then I can't be bothered to give them my money. I'll buy anything except Canon. Epson works great, and HP works even better (although HP doesn't offer quite as high resolutions as Epson's printers). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, sort of solved: I gave the printer to my wife and took hers. She uses Microsoft. -- Best regards, Dennis J. Tuchler 7330 Kingsbury Boulevard University City, Missouri 63130 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
