Hi Dieden, I just went through the same problem you are just having with the same HP 600 printer you have got. But I have finally managed to solve it and now I am printing just fine. Anyhow, the following works for me. First of all, I did not have to compile the 6.3 kernel. This is what I have done: a) Enter the setup to see your motherboard configuration (at boot time press del) and make sure your lpt port is set to 378H (not 278H or 3BCH) and mode=normal in the "chipset features menu". b) Go to yast and uninstall the "cripple" lprold that SuSE 6.3 brings and install the plp print spooler (you can find it in the "n" Network-Support section). c) Now for the major: in your /etc/conf.modules spot the line that says "alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc" and change the IRQ value to 7, both lines must look like this: --- alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7,none --- d) Further down your /etc/conf.modules look for "options plip" and, again, change the IRQ to 7. Uncomment this line that now looks like: --- options plip io=0x378 irq=7 --- d) In the same file: --- alias char-major-6 lp alias plip0 plip alias plip1 plip --- e) As you may know, you can bring sound back to life (no kernel compilation needed) in /etc/conf.modules if you uncomment the lines of your soundcard model. Regard your sound card IRQ different from 7. f) Configure your printer via yast-system administration-integrate hardware with driver "cdj550" in LP1 (try LP0 instead). Now you should see a line "starting lpd-plp" at boot time. Inetd and ghostscript run in my Linux box (just in case). Hope this helps. If you wish I can send you my /etc/conf.modules and my /etc/printcap files if you keep feeling dizzy. Feel free to contact me personally.

Hi everybody,

Sometime ago I complained about problems with getting my HP Deskjet 600 working under SuSE 6.3. I got only one reply, from somebody experiencing the same problem... Is there somewhere out there anybody who got such a printer working ?

Regards,

Reiner
