Trouble printing with Opera and Linux

[edwardp at operamail.com]

(Didn't realize hitting ENTER sends an e-mail...)

For some time now, I have been having difficulty with two different systems, printing web pages with the Opera browser under SuSE 9.1 Personal.  The build of Opera for Linux is 7.54 - Build 751 (QT Static - which was designed to work with all Linux distros).  

When SuSE 9.0 was installed, this was not an issue.  

/var/log/cups/error_log shows the following (as an example of a failed print job):
 
I [26/Oct/2004:17:56:35 -0400] Adding start banner page "none" to job 46.
I [26/Oct/2004:17:56:35 -0400] Adding end banner page "none" to job 46.
I [26/Oct/2004:17:56:35 -0400] Job 46 queued on 'styluscolor640' by 'user1'.

E [26/Oct/2004:17:56:35 -0400] Bad request line "request id is styluscolor640-46 (1 file(s))"!
E [26/Oct/2004:17:56:42 -0400] PID 9089 stopped with status 3!
I [26/Oct/2004:17:56:42 -0400] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug" to find out more.
 
The printers on both systems are Epson Stylus Color models, one is a 640, the other a 400.  gaf was kind enough to post a similar log entry I sent to him back in July, to the SuSE English mailing list, and after all this time, not one response was there that I could find.

Is there -anything- in this error log that might indicate what the problem is?  Short of buying new printers or (as a worst-case scenario) stop using Linux completely, I'm at a loss...

Thanks for any suggestions/help.
