I bought a new printer and it works great. However, I can’t get it to print anything with openSUSE 11.3. I’ve tried multiple ways to get it to print, but it refuses to. The print status states that it is attempting to print, but nothing physical happens.
I found these drivers for the printer here: Download for PC interface software | Consumer FAX | Home Communication | Consumer Products | Support | Panasonic Global
Albeit packaged for RedHat, they seem to install fine and Yast was able to find the printer and its respective .ppd file easily. I’ve tried adding the printer via CUPS and Yast (both of which seem to be the same thing) and no luck. Can someone help me out?
You’d like to look at my blog, in Spanish but I think it is easy to understand with a translator, because the important part are the steps: El blog de Dark Schneider: Panasonic MFS (Multi-Function-Station) en OpenSUSE

Right, I noticed that, but as I had the same situation and after much searching I only found this about Panasonic MFS and SUSE, so I finally solved it by my own and want to give the solution to openSUSE community. Maybe it would be better to put the answer in the wiki documentation or its corresponding place, but I don’t know where exactly.
