Printer woes

hitest · 08-26-2005, 11:43 PM

Hi Folks,

I've just installed Suse 9.1 and am trying to configure my printer I've got my printer connected to my computer via LPT1.
I've started up the KD printer wizard but some of the settings are puzzling to me.
I'm assuming that I'm choosing Parallel? But then it asks me for URI:
What do I put in here? I'm pretty sure it'll find my printer.
Thanks for any and all help.

My apologies, you're right!

I got excited when I figured it out and forgot my manners.
After I selected parallel port I selected URI port #1 just below the parallel setting that brought up the driver data base and configured my printer. My vision is bad so I missed it the first time.

I myself wasn't having that problem, but I figure it might help someone else in the future. Talk to you later.
