suse 10 parallel printer problem
I've been using suse 10, and for the first time tried to install a printer, but no luck. The printer is a HP660C connected to the parallel port. This printer was working fine on my suse 8.1 system, and, if I boot to a freedos disc I can print to it on LPT1. So I assume the print and parallel port is working. When I go to install using Yast, Yast will initialling recognize the printer, it shows a HP660C as not configured. But as I try to install the "test Connection" fails, and if I complete the install wizard, the test print also fails. No output on the print at all. When I check CUPS it says something like "Parallel Port Busy, will retry in 30 seconds". What am I doing wrong? Matt

You didn't read the "Release Notes" which are shown during installation and you didn't look if the question was already answered on this mailing list: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Nov/1206.html Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix@suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
