The old HPOJ software is in our RPM package hp-officeJet. The new HPLIP software is in our RPM packages hplip and hplip-hpijs since Suse Linux 9.3. Both packages can be installed at the same time on the same system but their services ptal and hplip cannot run at the same time, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printer_Configuration_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.3_on and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.3 Therefore it may not help to remove the package hp-officeJet because the ptal services would still run if it was running. The crucial point is to stop all the ptal services (usually ptal-mlcd and ptal-printd). At least for me there was never a problem to use HPLIP even if hp-officeJet was installed as long as the ptal services were not running - but I didn't test it again with current HPLIP. Furthermore the hplip services must be up and running before the cupsd is started. I.e. do something like: rcptal stop rpm -e hp-officeJet # this is optionally rchplip stop rccups stop rchplip start rccups start Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
