But next to the name of the printer, it also says "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds...". I can ping the IP address of the printer, so it would seem to be connected somehow, but pinging it involves a round-trip journey of 500ms (for a few meters of LAN cable, which can't be right.
And of course, it doesn't print. What's missing?
About the 500ms thing, I would start looking with "traceroute", to find out if the packets are going the sightview route.
About the not working thing, I wonder if there is a firewall in the route :-?
Shortly after I wrote my earlier message, the printer began to make rumbling noises, and then, at a glacially slow pace began to spit out the half-page file I had tried to have it print. That took several minutes, on top of the long interval since I gave it the Print instruction. At about the same time, I also noticed that the PING experiment (500ms) had also reported 73% packet loss. One of the "pre-required" steps in the driver-installation process involved use of YaST to open the firewall to UDP port 54925, so I think (hope) the firewall is not involved. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
