[opensuse] Hopefully simple printing question
All, OS 10.3 / KDE / Network Printer (HP 4500 Color Laser) My printer has somehow stalled. Everything I print goes to a queue and never pops out of the printer. I know the printer is not the problem because I have a XP VM on the same machine and I can print from there fine. How do I tell OS to start printing again.

cupsenable printer_name Use the name of your printer, if you're not sure of the name use lpstat -t which will show the name and status. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And to keep the printer from stopping in the future, consider these: http://localhost:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html?TOPIC=References&QUERY=#ErrorPolicy http://localhost:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html?TOPIC=References&QUERY=#JobRetryInterval http://localhost:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html?TOPIC=References&QUERY=#JobRetryLimit I have used ErrorPolicy retry-job with great success in a school environment with wireless printing to a LTSP print server with three networked printers. -- Jim Barnes -- Certainly the game is rigged.

Doesn't make any difference. He uses cups to print so if cupsd is not running, initializing the printer is a dead end :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I know, like all the *local files; but it executes before "cups". I would, either create another script, or modify the cups script if lazy. Perhaps I'd create a mine.last, and put all my modifications there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
