Hi
I just migrated fully onto opensuse Leap 15.0. I’m trying to install my POS printer. I’ve downloaded the packages from manufacturer’s website and upon attempt to use installation file this is what it throws out:
POS Electronics Co..Ltd

Models included:
POS-80-Series
POS-58-Series
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

Add POS-80-Series printer
Restarting CUPS
Could not restart CUPS
Install Complete
Go to http://localhost:631, or http://127.0.0.1:631 to manage your printer please!
And after plain installation using the sh file and attempt to print a test page i get this:
OS-80-Series-8 root 17408 Wed Apr 24 18:58:41 2019
printer POS-80-Series is idle. enabled since Wed Apr 24 18:58:41 2019 File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertopos" has insecure permissions (0100644/uid=1000/gid=100).
Upon an attempt to load the ppd file through Yast I get this:
/home/bsp/Downloads/Linux Driver/install_package/ppd/pos80.ppd: FAIL
**FAIL** Bad permissions on cupsFilter file "/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertopos".
WARN Size "X80mmY210mm" should be the Adobe standard name "80.08x209.9mm".
WARN Size "X80mmY297mm" should be the Adobe standard name "80.08x297.04mm".
WARN Size "X80mmY3276mm" should be the Adobe standard name "80.08x3275.89mm".
REF is the Adobe PostScript Printer Description File Format Specification
Even with ignoring the above error regarding the ppd file I still get the print test page error. Both normal user and root are in lp group, permissions to folder and the files for the attempt setup were made available to r&w for all users and groups.
Despite editing ppd file to adjust the size errors and granting root and user permissions. After failed print I receive another error regarding another filter which is shown in part of the cups log file below
