Hi all, I have an user 1000 km away from me, she's my 69 years old mother and she uses opensuse+kde to work with documents and spreadsheets. The problem is, if she starts printing with her usb printer turned off, CUPS disables the printer permanently, and this I think is a cups bug that I should report (correct behaviour is to start printing immediately when the printer is turned on), however I found no way, in the KDE user interface, to reenable the printer. I had to resort to allowing anonymous connections to localhost:631 and teach her how to enable the printer in an untranslated (although well working) web interface.
try from command-line and path is necessary: /usr/bin/enable <printer-name> ie: /usr/bin/enable esp925 this will enable a stopped printer note: enable is also a bash built-in making the path necessary. Also the lppasswd may be requested depending on suse version. to get printername easily, (from cl) lpstat -a ie: 13:04 wahoo:~ > lpstat -a esp925 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 gud luk -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
