    After a good experience on my portable, I decided to give Linux a try on
    my desktop PSC. However, I cannot get my HP PSC 950 to work.

    I did ptal-init and then defined the printer via YAST. Worked but after
    a reboot, printing was no longer possible.
    I did again ptal-init, defined the printer via CUPS, the computer halted
    while printing the test page. Start the computer, printing starts again
    and blocks the computer again. Restart the computer, hangs on
    configuration of usb devices. Finally did repair, using CD1, was able
    to log in again but the printing does not work.

    I am run out of ideas. Should I use Windows whenever I want to print -
    there should be another solution.
