I have installed 10.2 on a machine. When I tried to print from Java I got an error that Java could not find a printer service. So I did an update and there were CUPS patches in the update. Now, however, when I try to get to the printer maintenance dialog, it gets stuck at 4% on building the printer database. CPU usage runs 50 - 60% but no progress is being made. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks. Chuck Davis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Chuck Davis This has been fairly common. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229231. Short answer: try these

rm /var/lib/YaST2/printers rm /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp and then try again with Yast. This should rebuild the printer database and allow you to get going again. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just a quick thank you for this and the earlier response as although I didn't pose the question I had the problem which was resolved from reading this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Unfortunately, the CUPS update that screwed up the database requiring the deletion Darryl mentioned did not fix the problem of jdk1.6.0_01 not finding the print services on the machine. Has anyone seen a fix that will allow the Java print service to user openSuse 10.2 (boxed)? Thanks for any advice. Chuck On 1/8/07, Chuck Davis wrote:

Thanks for any advice. Johannes already posted the bug report for this. There are two possible workaround solutions in comments 6 and 7, both of which are stated to work.
