I have CUPS running on a server - its been there for a year and worked/works with other distributions. Including openSUSE 11.0 I'm trying to fancy-print on my laptop which is running openSUSE11.1 with 'enscript' and it chokes. Investigating I find there is no default printer set. Odd. When I try to print from Thunderbird or Firefox or OpenOffice I get a dialogue box with ALL of the printers published under CUPS. I seems to work fine in CLIENT mode. But ... When I try lpoptions -d HL-5170DN or the various alternatives I get told it doesn't work. lpoptions: Unknown printer or class! Yes, that's a valid name that CUPS recognises. Using the -h server produces a 0 exit code but the default printer isn't set. Obviously I've set the default ON the server :-) So I go into YAST and h/w, printers and tell it to use ONLY remote CUPS. Only two of the four published printers show up. HL-5170DN isn't one of them. I hate to say it, but this all worked fine under 11.0 I just set the server address in in the client .conf file and away! So here I am trying to figure out the administration of local Queues and YAST is unhelpful, wanting to disable CUPS. Yes, I have the PPD for that printer, by that name, in /etc/cups/ppd/ So what's the problem? Probably between the chair and keyboard, but I'm lost. -- An NSA-employed acquaintance, when asked whether the government can crack DES traffic, quipped that real systems are so insecure that they never need to bother.
