Now, I can't print from any application, including OpenOffice. I got no error message. YaST printer config is fine. When I do lprm, it says "unable to cancel jobs."

Would someone kindly remind me what I need to do to fix this problem.

many thanks. Kelly

I had a similar issue...I ended up deleting the printer, and re-adding it. Solved my problem but may not be what you were looking for. :) I never did figure it out... I could cancel the job, but then it would show up again a few seconds later. -- Thanks, George If there is no monitor, it's an Apple ASIP server.

I cannot guess what exactly might have "stopped" the "printer". Perhaps printing was stopped for the queue and you must reenable it with /usr/bin/enable, see http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jsmeix_print-cups-in-a-nutshell.html "The Backends" Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix@suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
