Since a few days, I’m having difficulty with using my printer on my
desktop. I have an relativly old HP Deskjet 930C printer.
The thing is the printer doesn’t work in OpenSuse 10.3.
I have tried reconiguration and resetting, removing installing… .
But the printer still does not work. It did on other Distro’s.
I can print a test page. Butt when I give the order to print a simple
textline, I get nothing, nada, nakkes.
This could be a permissions issue. Maybe a recent policykit package
upgrade? Is the printer connected via usb or parallel port? If the
latter, you need to make sure the relevant user is a member of the uucp
‘group’ via yast.
Something to check: Open a browser and start cups interface with
Also, maybe try downloading the newest hplip from Packman (or maybe even
from HP’s site). Prior to that, I’d check how well supported it is (HP
maintains an exhaustive list of supported printers on their hplip
pages).
