Hi,
my brother-in-law has as new installation of SuSE 9.3, with current
online updates (via YOU), on a classic x86 system.
His printer is an HP PSC 2110 all-in-one device.
Scanning works fine, no trouble there, but I can't seem to get
printing to work (it did fine with the older 8.3 installation).
The device is detected automatically by YaST, as psc2100series,
HP PSC 2110, PPD file HP PSC 2110 Foomatic/hpijs, connection
HP All-in-One Device /usb/PSC_2100_Series
I tried both the hpijs and gimp-print PPDs, no success.
I'd have tried configuration or at least more testing via CUPS in
http://localhost:631, but unlike Debian GNU/Linux systems, this one
doesn't take the root / rootpassword as authentication.
Any ideas on what to try?
Greetings & TIA, Eric

As root, use the command "lppasswd -a <userid>" to add user <userid>
and
set the CUPS admin password for that user. You can then use that
userid/passwd combination to access http://localhost:631/admin.

Thanks for the tip, I learned something :-)
In the end, the problem was entirely unrelated to any configuration
issues: it seems the printer got hit by a power surge (similarly to
the ADSL router, during one of the heavier thunderstorms these days),
and needed to be entirely separated from it's source of electricity
for a while, after which it resumed functioning normally.

If it interests you, I've also have an PSC Printer working here, but I use
the HPLIP Printer tools from HP. The printer & scanner works fine, you have
also a hptool to manage the printer (cleaning cartridges, align them...)
It all works fine as Till (Kampeter) suggested me to use this software.
Have a lot of fun.
