Thanks for your replies Basil and Joe. I've tried the things that both suggested, without success. If I reconfigure the printer in Yast then it will work until the printer is switched off and on again.
So which is it, no success in getting it to print (i.e. initial config), or inability to print after it is turned off and on? That is 2 different problems. And you give no error info to give us any clues to even try to help. Assuming you have it working with hplip, what is the output of hp-check? Also, your problem sounds familiar to a bug in cups-autoconfig. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334166 for more info, or maybe uninstall cups-autoconfig.
My preference is to continue with openSuse 10.3. because I have grown used to it and I lke it (when it works properly :-) ) I need someone to say "yes I had that problem and I solved it by ............. I feel sure that someone out there must have had the same problem.
I am not sure you have given enough info for anyone to even be sure what your problem is, to be able to say "I had that problem" so they cannot say "I solved it by ..." What does /var/log/messages say when it is turned back on? Have you tried restarting cups? What does /var/log/cups/error_log say when it fails? What is output of lpstat -t when working or when it fails? Info helps in troubleshooting remotely, lack of info makes it almost impossible. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
