Ill make it short and simple hehe.
I had always used until now Opensuse 32 bits. Now i needed 64 bits to be able to fun Folding@Home. Problem is, my Canon Mp160 printer doesent work, ive tried EVERYTHING and no results (this includes german sites etc 
)
From this website which is the closest hardware store from where i live, which printer is supported by OpenSuse 64 bits?
PC FACTORY : Tu centro tecnolĆ³gico
Thanks
If you had it working on openSuse-32 it should also work on 64 bit version.
Look at OpenPrinting database - Printer: Canon mp160 for some instructions.
> Now i needed 64 bits to be able to fun Folding@Home.
i run Folding@Home on my 32 bit openSUSE running on a 64 AMDā¦
that is to say: you do not have to go to openSUSE 64 in order to run
folding@ā¦

Weird tho, Folding@Home said otherwise, u need 64 bit OS but u gotta download some 32 bit libraries.
Anyway, i did that openprinting drivers installation instructions with no success. OpenSuse now recognizes there is a printer, but cannot print, also unplugging and plugging the printer again display no changes on OpenSuse.
PD: Also from that link you gave me, its got no downloadable drivers available

Canon places the filters in /usr/lib/cups; you need it in /usr/lib64/cups.
The easiest way to solve this is to set up a link:
su
ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter
Note:pstocanonij may not be your Canon filter, but you can alter this to match
the Cannon filter in /usr/lib/cups/filter.

per http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download#ntoc1 version 6.02
for Linux/BSD is 32 bitā¦
version 6.24beta is 64, but did you READ the info on their beta
software? āAs in the use of any beta software, please make sure to

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that

i can read thatā¦and understand it, but iām not sure you do:
you can run one instance of FAH 6.02 on a 32 bit single core machine
running openSUSE 32 bitā¦
you can run multiple instances (each in their own directory) of FAH
6.02 on a 32 bit mulit-core machine running openSUSE 32 bit, and load
all coresā¦

thing is, running a SMP client on a quad core gives much more ppd than running 4 simple clientsat the same time

okā¦personally, i think it is more trouble than worth to switch from
32 to 64 for me, and iāll not switch until either i have the need
to, OR 64 irons out some more bugs/frustrationsā¦
i loaded up up in about the 9.3 time frame and found it far too rough
around the edges and requiring too many workaroundsā¦
i KNOW it is far better now but iāll not āupgradeā to 64 until i have
the need or am forced toā¦and, so far FAH does not force me or
you to install 64ā¦apparently you wanted to in order to get the
last protein folded some seconds sooner than it would have been if you
had stayed with dependable/reliable/more fuss free 32ā¦
which is not the same as saying: āi needed 64 bits to be able to fun
Folding@Homeā which what i first responded toā¦

Well, as you know 64 bits does bring many performance improvement in many areas, such as video encoding/decoding, music, etc.
In order to fully take advantage of the quad core i bought, which is twice as expensive as an AMD X2, i have to install 64 bits.
Folding@Home does not only take seconds less to finish a WU but more like hours less.
PD: Main problem is only my scanner on 64 bits. EVERYTHING else until now is working flawlessly.
> but more like hours less.
WOW! i may be moving to 64 sooner than i thoughtā¦
thanks for that infoā¦

I dont get ur point, look if you dont like 64 bits for whatever stupid reason, then dont use it, nobody is telling you otherwise.
What im saying is that im happy with 64, just as you are happy with 32.
sorry to bring back this old thread, but now im trying to get the scanner working.
I did this:
dhcppc0:/home/gabriel/Documents # rpm -ivh scangearmp-common-1.00-2.i386.rpm
error: Error de dependencias:

Doing apt-get install scangearmp-common-1.00-2.i386.rpm does no good, says the dependencies cant be found.
