On all my OpenSuse 11.4 client installed with Autoyast I have some trouble with printers.
you don't see that with a manual installation? Maybe this helps: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS but I don't know. I have no clue about printers but I don't expect it to be an autoyast problem.
I like to provide some background information why I think it is not an issue in AutoYaST and probably also not an issue in CUPS but an issue in the particular applications. On 08.02.2012 15:26, Patrick Begou wrote:

From what you wrote I assume it works with other applications. Does the printing menue work in other applications? In particular applications which do not use Gnome/Gtk printing. Perhaps only the Gnome/Gtk printing dialog has the issue? E.g. you may try the Adobe Reader (acroread).
In particular when printing with the defaults works from the commandline e.g. print the 2-pages yast2-printer testpage with $ lp -d laser5M /usr/share/YaST2/data/testprint.2pages.ps I assume the printout is on A4 paper in "DuplexNoTumble" mode. If this is true, the print-queues are set up correctly for CUPS and then the issue is "something inside" the applications, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS ------------------------------------------------------------ There is no such thing as "THE" default settings for a print queue. ------------------------------------------------------------ Alternatively - only a guess - it might be related to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732442 I.e. check if the printing output of evince and firefox is PostScript or PDF. To do this, disable printing for the print queue # cupsdisable laser5M and print from those applications. Then check the print spool data files /var/spool/cups/d<job-number>-<file-number> if it is PostScript or PDF. Afterwards you can re-enable printing for the print queue # cupsenable laser5M Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
