If you have the knowledge to run an unsupported OS and keep it secure and functioning then you don't have to ask a forum such as this why your version of a program isn't behaving as you think it ought.
If you can run Windows 98, Debian Woody or any other OS securely and efficiently then "Go you!". But you should also know why it is ridiculous to ask for help with it in a forum such as this.
If you're an expert go and sort it.
Well, I agree with that assessment. But not the assessment of Windows 98. Windows 98 is not supported any longer, and cannot be supported by the user themselves.
how to update printer epson 1150 drivers in open suse 11.1
there are NO updated drivers for the very long dead and unsupported Opensuse 11.1
all updates for CUPS in 11.1 ended when opensuse 11.1 hit it's End Of Life , back in January 14th 2011
please stay current and install a SUPPORTED operating system
OpenSUSE 12.3 is the current version .
Edit\Add:
And, yes saving the error output is not thought of at times but if you can recreate it or describe it best plus hit solved or tell us what did or if fixed

I know I ought to bite my tongue her but I can't help it:
Please do not presume to know the abilities of others or their resources.
If I wanted to run Windows 98 connected to the internet safely I would (I did, briefly, but ran out of patience with multimedia). The fact you've not heard of patching, debugers, registry editing, firewalls, virtual machines and a myriad of other things which can render the least secure OS safe doesn't mean the rest of the world hasn't.
Any OS can be supported by a well-resourced and well-educated user -- that being my point.

My mistake.
I do however assume you find that easier with old versions of Debian where you can actually look into the core system itself?

I haven't tried running old Debian versions, actually, but I think it would be the same process.
My point was more that if you have the means to keep something that old going then you ought not to need simple outside help as was asked for in the OP.
