Sorry, missed the postscript file bit.
There is an application that lets you dump files raw to printers. It's a
GUI application that supports drag and drop.

When a product hangs your system, then what else is there to do? Especially
since the hang occured during installation.
I suppose I could have gone a-hunting on the Internet, or sought some
advice, but it was mere curiousity that made me try it, and when it didn't
work, I moved on.
Oh yeah, I tried OS-Warp, not OS2.

Well the warning on their page about "no developer tools" in the
"complete" (pretty stupid name for a 'light' version...) warned
me off of getting that package. However, I was wondering if anyone
knows what one loses by getting the free download package or odering
the 'free' cd's from cheapbytes.com. It appears as the compilers
and libraries are included in the download version. But what elements
of the distro (ie. powerpack package) are missing? I'm leaning towards
mandrake for a new laptop, but given the recent discusions here
lately, I'm thinking about Debian or maybe downloading both and
testing them out. I've installed various versions of Solaris on a
variety of Sun machines as well as installed and maintained software
for those machines, so I'm not too worried about having lots of trouble
with any flavor of linux, but I'd rather not waste a few days
tracking down various packages/drivers etc. So I need working
c/c++/fortran compilers at the minimum. My basic question with
distros boils down to: Do all the free download versions contain
compilers and working libraries and what would one gain by spending
$70 on the powerpack 7.2 distro of mandrake?

Like I said, as a reasonable person, I assumed the default would be to use
the system wide settings. Nothing on the dialog indicates what printer
you're about to use _unless_ you click on the button marked Setup - which,
as a reasonably minded person, I thought had already been done.
Sorry, but you can't twist this one to fit the way you want it to appear.

You are not to respond to any more of my posts, pete, because you
are too much of a gigantic fucking moron.
Just this last time, ill explain it to you.
Google is right smack dab in the middle of implementing all of the
stuff that deja used to have, plus bringing back on online the
archive that goes to 1995. Apparantly most of it will be completed
in the next 8 weeks.
Please do not respond to anything I type ever again.

Correct.

Again correct.

As a reasonable person, I would assume printing a test page once on a
system meant it was correctly configured. Now I find one application
doesn't. That could mean more don't. Oh dear, now I have to assume my
setting up a printer was a waste of time.
Doesn't this seem the least bit wrong to you? Aren't I getting this through

I've not come across that with Windows. I've come across this with The Gimp
and Linux.

Sounds like they do a better job than Mandrake. You know, I reinstalled
Linux again recently (I keep doing this to shake out the bugs), and guess
what? The USB Hub is now working! The lights are on!
Sheesh!
Roll on the 19th (when SuSE release 7.1 in the UK).
