Okay now I am running SuSE 8.0... again. I had a `Drake 8.2 install running just fine until I tried to play CivCTP. I bought this game and have all the current patches for it, and I have been playing it off and on for 3+ years now in linux. Well a couple of nights ago I was playing as usual and something very bad happened.... the system failed with a kernel panic! I was able to reboot and the ReiserFS performed as designed. But after that all was fragged. The system was totally unstable. Numerous aps wouldn't open or if they did the system would lock up or just stop responding.
So in total frustration I tried to figure out WTF but since I just had major surgery on my left shoulder and I am under the influence of pain and narcotics, I said screw it and tried SuSE 8.0. Well for some reason this install <shift to whisper mode>seems stable</shift to whisper mode> but there are some minor issues that are annoying. Here is the biggest one,
I started to use Open Officce more regularly in the `Drake 8.2 install, because it actually worked and printed and worked. So I wanted to continue to use it in SuSE 8.0 and it works fine except.... now I can't print! And I haven't figured out how to get the OO print drivers located / installed.
Here is the error message:
"No default printer found. Please choose a printer and try again."
So I fire up the OO Print Utility and get this:
Nothing!
I found the directory where the driver should be and there is nothing there. So now what? I have zero clue as to how yo connect to the CUPS drivers and have them work with OO.
Any ideas?
