Hi. I'v been running SUSE 10.1 for some time now. When I first installed it, my printer worked fine. It is a Lexmark 3200 (old model...). I've moved recently and now it doesn't print anymore. The system detects it fine, all the setups seem to be ok, the printer just appears not to be receiving the feed from my machine.

Anyone could help?

Thanks a lot.

have u tried changing the printing system? I had a lexmark few years ago and it didn't wanna print with cups

look in the /var/log/cups/error_log for information. it might help to set the log level to "debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf then restart cupsd and try to print again to get a detailed error message.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about... I'm fairly new to this...

Here's what I got for the last couple days. I've changed the name of the printer from 3200 to Lexmark without success.
