Re: [SLE] printer [yast] - load current settings - freeze/stall in suse linux pro 9.1

Hi, I wish that your suggestion had solved the problem - but unfortunately no miracle occured. I am at kde 3.4 and still the print function stalls at 50% - while loading the current settings. I tried to use the localhost:631 but it never completes. Can somebody please help? On Fri, 2005-07-22 at 16:58, Chaitanya Krishna A wrote:

Hi,

I faced tha same problem on Pro 9.1. I built the rpm database and did some other things. Didn't work. If you want to see what I have done may be you can do a search on the list.

Then I updated KDE to 3.4 beta through Yast. After that I had no problem. Now I have two printers configured on my system. Well I really don't know if that did the trick or some other tweaking with the system did it. But it worked. My labmate's machine is on the original KDE. It still hangs.

See if it may help.

Regards, Chaitanya.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions. I read your url references with much interest and hope; then, tried the approaches. Unfortunately nothing seems to work!

I feel that there must be another set of files which Yast goes to when it gets stuck in `load current settings' besides the /etc/cups/* files. Any thoughts or ideas?

Taking out the /var/lib/yast2/ [printers & ppd_db.ycp] ges them regenerated without any problem but then Yast-printer gets stuck at the same place! [snip]
