Richard..thanks I read the article...but I'm very new to Linux and don't understand what this is " rm /var/lib/YaST2/printers rm /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp and then try again with Yast. This should rebuild the printer database and allow you to get going again." What is this and where do I make the change? Chris Robert Lewis wrote:

Hi everybody, I have a USB HP1210 PSC printer that was working fine copy, scan and print-+...then I open YAST and went to PRINTER and when the screen reaches "The list of installed drivers has changed. Building database of drivers" it reaches 4% and then freezes! After this I can't seem to do anything else but reboot. I also try to fix this booting into fail safe mode and entering YAST without the GUI....and get the same results.. Is there another way to clear the printer info....or conflicting data to start over...or am I looking at another reinstall of the OS?
OH I have two machines....and they both have this problem....and both were printing fine....I'm use the printer drive for this model from HP's site.
Thanks for any input on this issue. Chris
This has been discussed quite recently on this list and maybe seen in the archives. Of course with the volume of info. stuff is easily missed. This has been fairly common. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229231. Short answer: try these
rm /var/lib/YaST2/printers rm /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp
and then try again with Yast. This should rebuild the printer database and allow you to get going again.
