I tried to send this from SuSE linux, but something got screwed up. Let's try it from here. If I don't have my printer turned on when I boot SuSE, then I cannot print, even if I turn it on later. Is there a way to initiallize the printer if I turn it on after I boot Linux? (The printer is a laser-jet, with Post-Script capability, and SuSE is set up to use that. If I turn on the printer with the computer, it works fine.) I can turn the printer on later in MS Windows. Thanx, all. --doug

If you are using CUPS, try going to Control Center -> System -> Printing Manager, right-clicking the printer, and selecting Start printer. HTH Kevin

Not using CUPS, just the regular SuSE printer program, which works fine under normal conditions--that's why I have avoided CUPS. (Why fix it if it ain't broke?)
