My printer does’t work without this service.

Hi
You need to enable the systemd cups service;

systemctl enable cups.service
systemctl start cups.service
system status cups.service

Or you can do this from YaST

I get “Failed to execute operation: Access denied”

Did you run the commands as root? If not, try them as root.

I know I wrote a reply to this earlier, but I don’t know where it went…

It will probably help if you give us more details… Please can you tell us the output of these commands

$ cat /etc/*release* $ uname -a $ lsusb

That will tell us which version of SLED you are using and what it can see on your USB ports. (I’m guessing the printer is probably USB.)

Also:

  • Make and model of the printer

  • Exactly what you’re doing that results in the message “Printer is not connected”
