(OpenSUSE 10.2, Printer = HP deskjet 6122)
Something has gotten corrupted in my printer chain. It prints all Firefox output in Landscape, for instance. I decided to try using Yast to reconfigure my printer. While building a new database of drivers, the progress bar got to 4% and then stopped. This happens every time I try it. During one attempt, I let it run for an hour and a half. Each time I had to use Force Quit to continue. Does anyone have any insight into what may be the problem or, better, a way to fix the problem? The IRS will appreciate it. :-(
It sounds familiar: search this list archive and you will find it, I think.
Meanwhile, is your sytem fully up to date? I think the bug was corrected.
I think it's up to date. I'm using 10.2 and am set up for automatic updates. This problem just appeared. I've been using the printer for a couple of years and the only problem I've had is with the Firefox print bug you refer to. That one was fixed. My main concern right now is that Yast cannot build a database of drivers. Do you have any thoughts on that? By the way, I have searched the archive. I found a lot of references to printer problems but nothing that sounds like my problem. Donald D.
