Regards Sid. Hi Sid; Cups working fine for me on openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3-M6. Hardware is Dell Studio 1745 laptop with Brother HL-1440 connected via USB to parallel cable.
root@laptop= /home/tom # lpq brotherhl1440series is ready no entries root@laptop= /home/tom # lpc status brotherhl1440series: printer is on device 'usb' speed -1 queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries daemon present root@laptop= /home/tom #
How did you install your printer, through Yast2 or from cli?
73s! Tom
Should have added: Did you check Yast2 > > Services to see if cups daemon set to run at startup?
I used YaST2 to set up my printers. I never had to do that until Milestone 5. Using YaST2 --> Services only does one thing and is equivalent to "chkconfig cups on". Either way it's enabled, but does not start automatically as it should. I have now edited /etc/sysconfig/cups and added options shown below.
Shown below what? :-))
CUPSD_OPTIONS="" changed to CUPSD_OPTIONS="-C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
I shall see if that fixes it on the next reboot. slipstream:~ # ps fax|grep cups 10150 pts/2 S+ 0:00 | _ grep cups 25058 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
