TP and openSUSE 11.3
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:40 pm
Anyone know of any issues regarding TP and openSUSE 11.3 (not yet officially released though, I'm just trying it out for now), or is it just my machine...
This is what happens. I've installed TP 2.15-2, and added my keyfile. The tp-daemon is running according to KDE's system-monitor. The printer (Canon Pixma IP4700) is connected and turned on (and lsusb lists it as present so the computer knows it's there).
However, when I select "Add printer" from the TP-control center, it only lists two parallell ports and not a TPU one. Consequently I cannot see or add my printer there. I then launched the CUPS webinterface and installed the printer from there. It correctly saw my printer, although it didn't have a driver for the 4700 series. Anyway, I save that printer and copies the URI.
I re-open the TP-Control center and selects "Other", and Cups-printer and adds the URI. Now I can add my printer.
Of course, this way I get two printer queues: one cups and one TP.
If I print using the TP-one, the printer does indeed print but the output is just garbage with no resemblance whatsoever to what it's supposed to be. If I use the cups one, nothing happens.
Any idea of what could be wrong? I'd be happy to provide more information, although I don't know what would be useful. Note that the same version of TP worked just fine on the same computer but with openSUSE 11.2 installed (my systemdrive died so I needed to reinstall).
