Driver installed, DeskJet 960C doesn't like it

[Jens Woinowski <jens@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

when I try to print to my HP DeskJet 960C, only the "working" light
blinks, after some five minutes the error light blinks.

My configuration is:
SuSE 7.0, default Kernel 2.2
apsfilter 7.1.1 (deinstalled SuSE "apsfilter") no error messages during 
configuration
ghostscript 6.52 (compiled it myself, no error messages)
hpijs 1.0 (compiled into ghostscript)
installed printer with original apsfilter setup (ijs/DESKJET_960)

I compared the settings apsfilter produces to those on the HP page and they
look correct.

I get no error messages when generating a test page with apsfilter SETUP and
none if printing to the queue (and no mail from the spooler...)

So my questions are:
1. Did somebody else encounter that problem?
2. Could there be something else I made wrong? (Besides from using SuSE, it 
sucks more and more, but I got used to most of its "specialties" ;-)
3. If the answer to 2. is (probably) no: Is it a problem with apsfilter
   or a problem with the HP drivers?

Thanks for your help,
Jens Woinowski
