[PLUG] Printing in Suse 7.2

[jbeck@jbwd.net]

Hi all, 

Can anyone help with getting a printer to work under Suse 7.2?  Here is the 
situation: 

I have a Compaq IJ750 printer.  Searching on the net indicated that the 
printer I have is essentially a rebadged Lexmark 3200.  I used the printer 
set up tool in Suse to set it up.  When I tried to print a test page, I got 
no response out of the printer at all.  I figured that was odd, but moved 
forward anyway.  I tried printing from both Star Office as well as Kedit, 
and got no response at all from the printer.  I looked in the print que, and 
there were both jobs (not the test page, though), just sitting there.  They 
seemed fine, only they weren't printing!  :-) 

I checked Suse's web site, and it appears as though the printer is supposed 
to work.  I don't care at all about printing in color, etc. but it would be 
really nice to print a page of text every once in a while! 

Any suggestions?  I have only set up a printer in Windows, so this is really 
new to me.  It seems really odd though that both jobs would be sitting in 
the que, and not generating some type of error if they were unable to 
print...  Any help is really appreciated! 

Thanks! 

John
