I've always had printing working fine. From Suse 5. something on. When I installed 9.2 it worked fine. Then for some reason it stopped working. 9.3 hasn't improved anything. The printer is found by the setup program. It's fully supported. Printing sends the file into the queue. It never gets to the printer. It seems things want to change the printer to A4 all the time. Changing it back to US letter yesterday helped a little. The printer then printed everything with one line to the page. That was an improvement but now even that isn't happening. FWIW everything is fine from Windows. Like I said the printer is found by the setup program. I've tried cups. LPR. I've removed software. Re-installed software. Short of format and re-install I think I've done it all. Nick

I understand this as follows: For an unknown reason it had stopped working during 9.2. In this case the reason cannot be changes in the software packages (CUPS, Ghostscript, ...) because then it wouldn't have worked at all for 9.2. Therefore the reason seems to be a somewhat corrupted printing system (e.g. corrupted config files or corrupted spool files).
