Actually, I wrote, and goofed on the address: (I have probably broken the thread, but I don't know how not to. It's my thread anyway, so I guess I can chew thru it if I have to.)
It drives me crazy. I can't seem to print from Suse 9.3. My main machine is down with unknown problems, and I have only the Suse machine. I brought the HP 970 Cxi color printer over, plugged it in, Suse found new hardware, printed most of a test page, and then decided to spit everything out and not touch it again.
Running on USB, but I can try parallel. When I tell it to print, nothing happens.
When I go to YaST, it comes up with parallel printer checked, and I move it to USB --altho there are a lot of USB's available, and I don't know what any of them stand for. When I go to test, it either prints in very light print, or not at all, altho paper comes out. But when I try to print from KMail, nothing at all happens.
Would it make more sense to go to parallel print? I can do that. This machine printed fine to a parallel HP Laser Jet when I had 10.0 on it, now it won't print over that length of cable, so I moved the other (color) printer right next to the machine, and plugged in USB. Since the XP machine is down, I really need a system that can reliably print. What can I do to find out what the problem is and fix it?
I'm using a Fry's computer with an additional 512 MB RAM, everything else is like I bought it, without an OS installed, about a year ago.
Thanx for any help--
