Thinking this is openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) problem. Since last Sunday after
successfully repairing errors on my disk drive (ext3 formatted) I can not
print to my Xerox Phaser 6120. I can print from another openSuSE 11.1
(X86_32) system that does not have all the updates and from a 11.2
milestone 1 (X86_64) system. My 11.1 system is my production system and has
all the updates before Last Sunday. rest of configuration is below in
signature.

If I follow the link in the error message it says to change the version of
Avahi back to the native version. One bug (plus 2 duplicates) in bugzilla
talked about this and said it is fixed. I have the latest updates for cups
1.3.9 installed, is this a regression? I will open a bug report.

Start up log error:

May 9 07:34:42 linux-ebgz cupsd[3881]: *** WARNING *** The program ‘cupsd’
uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
May 9 07:34:42 linux-ebgz cupsd[3881]: *** WARNING *** Please fix your
application to use the native API of Avahi!
May 9 07:34:42 linux-ebgz cupsd[3881]: *** WARNING *** For more information
see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=cupsd>

any suggestions on how to manual fix would be appreciated. I can not print
from my production system without emailing the file to my 11.2 system.

Problem solved. after reading several bug reports about avahi. I went into
YaST and Software Management → avahi and installed all rpms that said
avahi. Then went into cups. did add printer and this time the printer
showed. It then printed test page and I printed a document that would not
print again.

Not sure which rpm actually fixed it, must have been a file that the ext3
error corrupted and even though the repair function on the DVD said they
were successfully repaired, something must have remained bad.
