A Konica Minolta Magicolor 1650EN comes with a Linux ppd driver and is connected to a Cisco Workgroup Switch as are 3 computers running SolusOS and Win7Pro, both of which print using their respective ppd and win drivers with no problem. Using Yast’s Add Printer configuration I pointed oSUSE to the ppd file but it doesn’t add the printer and is unable to find a print cue.
From local:631 I’m asked for my user name and password when I try to add the printer there but then it tells me “forbidden”.
I added the data used to install the printer driver using SolusOS on this same computer but that hasn’t helped.

Did you mean localhost rather than local? The credentials you need for CUPS are those of root.

The question is then, what do I need to do to log in as root (which is the same use name and password I supplied anyway) , and why didn’t the Printer Install from Yast recognize the ppd file as a valid driver?

The user name is: root, not your user name. The password is root’s password which, in a default install, is the same as that of
the user you first created in the install. I can’t answer your question on YaST. I’ve always just used CUPS from the start.

OK, I’ll give that a try. However: I WAS finally able to print, although to do it I had to install a KONICA MINOLTA driver from the list the system provided through System Settings - it was for a C550PS (P) (and was the last one on the list).
I don’t know why the driver installer wouldn’t accept the proper ppd file, except that it wasn’t compressed and the files the system suggested were.
In any case, thanks for hanging in there. This greatly improves my chances of sticking with OpenSUSE and everything else is performing well. I’ll probably try converting to Tumbleweed, though.
Using root as the user I was able to install the correct driver. For some reason I decided to give it different location (LPT2 instead of 1) but when the OS couldn’t find it I changed it and now it prints using the right driver, which has better options.

Good to hear it is working. Enjoy your printer.
