I don't know if anyone out there is looking for a good color laser printer, but my wife and I found one (finally) - a Xerox Phaser 6100. While its driver is not shipped with SuSE Linux 9.2, the included CD automatically launched a setup utility for the installation of the driver and a printer configuration tool. We did get a little thrown off course by the utility when, upon attempting to "Add Printer," we were presented with a login box (I was already running the utility as root). After several failed attempts to log in with root's password (kept getting a message saying "Authentication failed"), I checked the CUPS error log and realized it was looking for a CUPS password for root - I never even knew CUPS could have its own passwd file. I simply ran the 'lppasswd -a root' command, set a password, and it worked great! After having used Linux for over seven years, it's nice to see manufacturers _finally_ shipping hardware with installation utilities for Linux! - Thomas Long -- Using SuSE Linux
