| Configuration problems with HP 6540 |

I have an HP Deskjet 6540 and this worked well with SUSE 10.2. With
SUSE 10.3 the printer works fine until the next reboot and then cannot
be used.
The only way I can overcome this is to delete the printer (YaST) and
add it again. It then works fine until the next boot.
I am up to date with SUSE 10.3 Upgrades.
I have installed Virtualbox, which recompiles the Kernel (I don't know
if this is significant).
Could I get some advise on how to keep the printer configured?
Dick.

Hi
Have you tried running hp-setup as root user?

Thanks for the thought. Since using YaST I am forced to log in as root,
so I believed that I was acting as the root user. Your comment made me
log in as a root user and then try to configure the printer. It seems
to have worked! The printer has worked through several reboots. I
will see over the next few days if it lasts. I certainly appreciate
your fine comments.

Unfortunately the problem is still with me. The Printer can work after
several reboots, but after turning it on this morning, the printer
won't work again. I have not been doing anything strange on the
computer!!
SuSE 10.3 uses hplip 2.7.7 -37.2 and I have downloaded and installed
this again with no effect. The hplip is not the most recent version,
but the printer does not need a more up to date version.
Any ideas?

Are cups and hplip set to run during startup? look in
yast->system->System Services (Runlevel)
