Hi Rob, RB> SuSe 9.2 Prof since Christmas and last weekend my HP Laserjet 6P printer stopped working for no apparent reason RB> Suggestions anyone?
This sometimes happens with a directly connected (parallel or USB) printer, usually to do with the printer being powered off esp. during a reboot. Why did Linux have to get involved with "Plug and Play"? The quick solution is to use YAST to remove the printer queue, right through to the finish button, and then go through hardware/printers again. You should see the LJ6 as an unconfigured device (if you don't make sure that it is physically connected and powered on (print a test page from the LJ front panel), close and restart YAST). Configuring the printer and printing a test page takes only a few clicks/selects. If you are in KDE log out and back in then check Utilities/printing/Print Manager to ensure that the LJ6 is set as your default printing device. -- ray _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
