[ltp] Thinkpad 600x and printing?

If suse is anything like RH you have to install the RPM (or whatever suse
uses) for printers before the devices are made.

Subject:  [ltp] Thinkpad 600x and printing?




Hello,

first attempt to get the printer working failed (in win98 works). Printer
is HP Laser-jet 6MP distro is suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.0. I basically repeat
the procedure with the desktop (there I have the same configuration and
printer is working).  With the configuration tool yast2 I choose integrate
hardware, printer type is parallel printer,and it finds the exact driver
for this printer model. However the print fails. Yast2 complains that:

"I have not fount any parallel devices (/dev/lp?)! It seems that your
parallel port is not properly configured."

I thought it was for it is enabled in bios in win98 and works there. For
the moment I cannot also use the thinkpad utilities (still not managed to
install them properly).
Any idea how to get around this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Boyan.

PS. Sorry if you see in your From: field a copy of this message's To:
field. It seems to be a unique bug, due to a combination of pine and 600x.
