HP developed driver

Symptom:

If you select a HP developed driver (DJ6xx,DJ630,DJ6xxP,DJ8xx,DJ9xx,DJ9xxVIP) during the YaST2 printer configuration you get an error message that the call of .../apsfilter.setup was not successful.

Cause:

An error in the YaST2 printer database. (The default settings for this driver are incomplete.)

Solution:

Select one of the "print mode settings for the driver" explicitly.

Ghostscript driver cdj850

Symptom:

If you select the Ghostscript driver cdj850 the printer prints rubbish.

Cause:

The Ghostscript driver cdj850 doesn't work for SuSE Linux 7.2

Solution:

Select another Ghostscript driver. E.g. "stp" or "DJ8xx" (see HP developed Ghostscript driver). To do this you may select another model e.g. "DeskJet 810C , 812C" manually.
