I am having printing trouble with beta1.
I installed 13.2 beta1 32-bit KDE kernel-default on a ThinkPad X41 with legacy BIOS boot. It was the full DVD version written to a USB stick. I used ext4 file systems, and formatted / and /home.
The installation went smoothly. I got wireless connected with Network Manager. I used YaST to install hplip-3.14.6, and ran HP Device Manager to set up our network printer, an HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn. This setup worked the same as it had on several machines with openSUSE 13.1 and hplip 3.14.6. However, a test page would not print - no response. I deleted hplip with YaST, then downloaded the installer hplip-3.14.6.run from sourceforge. I ran it, it reported it did not support 13.2, but would use the 13.1 files. I continued and it pulled in a number of dependecies as follows:
I used the newly installed version to set up the network printer again, which worked normally. With this, HP Device Manager prints a test page on four sheets, in pieces that did not even form the entire page. An image of one 8½ x 11 inch sheet is:![]()
Using YaST Printer Configuration page to try to print a test page sent nothing to the printer. The CUPS error log is at http://paste.opensuse.org/82999783.
I tend to think something in CUPS is incorrect. IIRC, I have never had to do anything with CUPS in the last several versions of openSUSE and hplip. Once the printer was installed and configured, it just worked.
Is anyone else seeing something like this in 13.2 beta1?
Thanks,
Howard
