since my problem hasn't been solved yet, I thought to repeat my request for help. My latest email to the list is below.
If anyone has further suggestions, I would like to hear them.

The printer I am trying to access is a deskjet 815C on the parallel parport0 (the Lexmark is on usb). hp-info says: device-uri hp:/par/DESKJET_815C?device=/dev/parport0 And btw, my statement below (on the packages) is not correct: some packages are installed (libjpeg-devel-6.2.0-5, libjpeg-6.2.0-739, libusb-0.1.10a-4), but the others are not. Would that be the reason for the problems? Is it a problem that the same printer is still available under a different print queue with Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0 ? Stopping that print queue has no effect anyhow.
