Hi! everyone,
I tried installing my HP Deskjet 656c on SuSE 9.1.
Everything went right and after I selected HP and then my printer 656c, there was an option to print a TEST PAGE. When I clicke don it, it asked for my username password.
Since the username (the username with which I log in: siddhartha) was already written, I typed in the password, but it failed to do anything and gave an error something like this: "FAILED TO CREATE TEMPORARY PRINTER".
Even when I write the root passsword or the user's password, it shows the same error.. WHAT SHOULD I DO ? :roll:

I think password doesnt have anything to do with the printer. I think it failed to create a printer object(printer object is properly defined @ www.wikipedia.org)
