No Longer Able to Print After Updating System to 13.2

English Hardware
1

Everything worked perfectly in 13.1 with this same hardware and driver. Driver is from Epson site specifically for Linux for Epson Photo Stylus R3000 Printer. I’ve enclosed the last error log below. Any assistance or suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance. I’ve also tried the standard gutenprint drivers and those also fail. I reinstalled cups and all related packages and still failed.

There is an issue with the CUPS version in the standard openSUSE 13.2 repository that likely is causing the problem. Try adding the repository at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/, and switching system packages to it. You may need to go through the printer set-up process again after that change.

For probably more than you want to know on the issue, see 899405 – HPLIP filtering rules result weird non-standard PostScript processing via pstotiff that does not work in practice

That did the trick. Added repository, switched system packages to it and reloaded. Deleted existing printer setup and reselected Epson Factory Driver. Works perfectly now again.

Thank you very much for pointing that out.
