Hi everybody, I just succesfully installed a new kernel Linux 2.2.14 which actually was able to detect my HP Deskjet 540 automatically. I've done after compiling the kernel and indicated in the Main Menu (I used make xconfig in KDE which was very nice) on Parallel port enabled. I have been troubleshooting my new SuSe 6.3 with lprold and the 6.2 lprold and the updated lprold to no avail until i upgraded to the stable kernel 2.2.14 from www.linux.org My next task ( again) is to configure my ALSA sound. The new kernel after compiling made all sense to me now. Hope this helps to those with printing woes.
