[opensuse] adding network printer problems [SOLVED - ALMOST]
I got the printers added. I can see them in Open Office, but they did not print when I ran the Print Test Page function when I added them. Is there a setting that I need to enable somewhere that I didn't know about? dwain -- Dwain Alford Alford Design Group P.O.

There are a few reasons why the test page won't work. One common reason is that you selected an incompatible driver.

Thanks for the advise and the help. Once I opened up my network I could print to the HP printer. Don't know about the Epson 1200 yet; I've got to buy some ink for it to run.
