My printer is a HP 870 Cxi, it is a parallel printer, it worked fine with 10.2 In 11.2 yast recognizes it well, finds a driver, install the printing queue, but the test page only gives an endless junk.
Do you use the same driver as in 10.2? Run as root grep '\*NickName' /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd to diplay the driver's nick name which you currently use in 10.2 and then search and select the same driver for 11.2. See the YaST help text regarding "chaotic printout": ------------------------------------------------------------------- The driver determines that the right data is produced for the specific printer model. If a wrong driver is assigned, wrong data is sent to the printer which results bad looking printout, chaotic printout, or no printout at all. Initially the input field for the driver search string is preset with the autodetected model name of the currently selected connection and those drivers where the driver description matches to the model name are shown by default. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps a driver was used where the driver description matches to the autodetected model name but actually it is a wrong driver for this model? Usually the drivers hpijs and since 11.2 the new driver hpcups both from HPLIP should work best for HP printers.
