Without a local running cupsd, nothing can work. I don't know why there is no local running cupsd. See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
Thanks to all who replied.
The logging unfortunately didn't tell me anything...
Eventually I tried the "Windows approach" and deleted the printer in Yast, and tried to set it up again as a TCP network printer (which didn't work originaly - for no reason I could understand at the time) but it worked fine on this occaision, and now all is working right.... go figure.
Remember to assure that the printer always gets the same IP on power up, or you will have maddening reoccurrance of this head scratching incident. I usually do this by putting the printer's mac address in the dhcp server and reserving an IP that way rather than trying to hard code the IP into the printer's control panel. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
