Re: [opensuse] Printer Initializing Lockup 10.2
Chris: no hammer needed. Suggestions from Robert and others just worked for me. His suggestion re volume of mail here is right on. I added a separate folder to my kmail that I named "Linuxinfo" and I try to move any emails that look either interesting or like they might be useful in the future there. I think many others do something similar. I will move Robert's email there as I can bet this will come up again in the future and it will then be at hand for me.

Hi Richard, Ok...I don't know where to go with this one? I haven't tried to print graphics yet....but now I'm not looking forward to it. Are you using Gnome or KDE? I am running one machine on KDE and the other on Gnome....on the reload of Gnome...I'm trying to add a printer....it detacted it....but when it shows the suggested driver I clicked on Install...and another lockup....this isn't good. Thanks for the responce. Do you think a hammer will fix this one? Chris

Hi everybody, I have a USB HP1210 PSC printer that was working fine copy, scan and print-+...then I open YAST and went to PRINTER and when the screen reaches "The list of installed drivers has changed. Building database of drivers" it reaches 4% and then freezes! After this I can't seem to do anything else but reboot. I also try to fix this booting into fail safe mode and entering YAST without the GUI....and get the same results.. Is there another way to clear the printer info....or conflicting data to start over...or am I looking at another reinstall of the OS?
OH I have two machines....and they both have this problem....and both were printing fine....I'm use the printer drive for this model from HP's site.
Thanks for any input on this issue. Chris
Sorry not to offer a fix...but only a "me,too". I get same 4% and freeze with Epson Stylus Photo RX600, USB, so issue is apparently not with HP alone. Additionally, printer prints text stuff fine, but graphics, like when printing a web page are just a black box, that being the reason I went back to try to fix the printer driver in the first place.

Ah yes I remember starting to do that very same thing. Now I save copies of useful things right to disk,so I don't have to fire up my e-mail client. I created a SuSE directory, and several subdirectories based on topic, and save the plain text messages into them.
