Hi. I use SuSE 8.1. Its default running the Cups. Is it easy to switch over to LPRng ??. I ask this because I cannot fix a problem with my DeskJet895Cxi ON USB. The printer is connected to my suse 8.1, and is working fine there. The problem is if I want to print via samba from my win98se laptop. It will not print. My LJ1100A laserjet printer also on the suse 8.1 is printing ok from the win98 laptop. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards.

Yes, just start yast2 as root (use "sux -") and select Hardware / Printer, then under "Already installed printers and queues" select "Change", then "Advanced". You can select here which spooling system to use; YaST will prompt you to insert your install CDs as needed. Works great. As far as I'm concerned, CUPS is not ready for prime time. -- ================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) -------------------------------------------------- "You may think this is the finest pearl But it's only cardboard balls, seamed in glue Overwhelming technique; done through diligence" -------------------------------------------------- -Captain Beefheart, "Best Batch Yet" ==================================================

Hi Glenn. Thanks very much for your kind reply. I have now installed the LPRng according to your excellent information. I can fine print on my USB printer, but not on my Laserjet. Both are connected to this SuSE 8.1 computer. Here is my /etc/printcap file: usb:\ :cm=lpdfilter drv=upp method=auto color=yes:\ :lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/usb:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/usb/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/usb/acct:\ :if=/usr/lib/lpdfilter/bin/if:\ :la@:\ :tr=:cl:lk:sh: lp:\ :cm=lpdfilter drv=upp method=auto color=yes:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ :if=/usr/lib/lpdfilter/bin/if:\ :la@:\ :tr=:cl:lk:sh: And here the output of lpr and lpq: eurit:/etc/init.d # ptal-init restart Stopping the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
