Sincerest apologies if I’ve posted this in the wrong forum.
I have a working HP printer hooked up to my OpenSuSE 11.0 computer in the office. I have OpenSuSE 11.2 computers – fresh installations – in my living room and a laptop, both of these computers are connected via my wireless network.
Before upgrading to 11.2 (from 11.1) on both of these computers, I was able to easily set them up from within YaST to print entirely from the CUPS server running on my 11.0 computer.
Now, the only application which won’t hang and need to be killed if I try to print something is OpenOffice. Okular won’t crash if given a PostScript file, but will crash given any other file. Even acroread crashes when trying to print a PDF file.
I’ve tried printing from these applications:
Okular
Firefox
Thunderbird (beta)
KMail
Acrobat Reader
None of them work, and okular provides no output on the command line when I try to print. I’d really appreciate any help you can give me.

I would suggest just using CUPS directly(http://localhost:631/) to set up the
printers on the clients (11.2). If this still does not help, it might be
useful to tell us what printer is involved and maybe the URI you entered in
CUPS.
