I have a cannon bjc-2000 buble jet printer.

It does not appears at the list of supported printers.

I have not being able to find a emulation for this printer.

any suggestion ?

Subject: eth problems
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 08:03:51 -0400


Greetings all,

Currently I'm trying to install a 2nd ethernet card into my computer,
but I'm having problems doing so.  Using the kernel configurator I
installed the 2nd card, which is a LinkSys Etherfast.  I looked on the
LinkSys webpage, which claims that the card is compatible with RH6 and
uses the TULIP module for installation.  This method was used for the
installation of the first ethernet card, a 3com model 3c59x.  This first
ethernet card works correctly, but I'm having problems with this second.
Whenever I try and activate the card under the network configurator, I
get the error message "ETH1 DELAYING INITIALIZATION".  Both of these
cards are pci.  

Next I tried "cat /proc/pci" to check out the configuration of both of
these cards.  According to this, my SCSI card has IRQ=9, along with both
of these ethernet cards.  I tried to change the LinkSys cards IRQ within
the Kernel Configurator, but when I restarted the kernel I noticed no
changes within /proc/pci.  I believe this to be the problem.  Hopefully
when I change this 2nd card's IRQ to an available one, it should work.  

My questions are:

How can I know what IRQ's are available for me to set the card to?
How can I change the ethernet card to the specified IRQ?

I will also probably need to change some of the settings within the BIOS
as well, but I didn't want to just start changing IRQ settings until I
knew which one to set the card to.

I did a modprobe of eth1 and I got the following message, 

/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net/tulip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

then I did a dmesg | more and got:

Unknown Tulip-style PCI ethernet chip type 11ad c115 detected: not 
configured.

Hope that this helps in the diagnosis.
Any help would be greatly GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

Thanks,
Paul

I have been trying for over a month to get this bloody printer working
under Linux lpd. I have attached the config files as per the
Ghostscript/Redhat instructions but it prints an error message:

"Error: /undefinedfilename i (-sOutputFiles=-)
Operand stack:

Execution stack:
blah, blah blah, and then
Last OS error: 2"

Strangely it prints plain text OK from the KDE editor.

If I use the command "gs @stc600pl.upp -sOutputfile=/dev/lp0 filename.*
-c quit &" it prints graphics beautifully.

Can anyone find the fault here or send me your config files for this
printer or something, anything to get this thing working.

Thanks, Chris

I am against building your own computer.  But there are many 
advocating this 'build your own' thing.

1) Manufactures enjoy the economy of scale because they buy
tons of componets at a time.  If you build your own you
buy one piece of each and you are paying retail price for
each piece.

2) Every hour you spent doing research and reading manuals
means money unless you are unemployed.

3) Factory workers are clearly better at building computers
than than you who build one computer ocassionally

4) Building computer is not intellectually challenging; it
involves turning screws and reading manauls.

In short if you want to enjoy maximum quality over price ratio
DO NOT BUILD YOUR OWN.

I *reluctantly* built mine and I'm very glad I did. Why?

- I couldn't get the major resellers (Dell, Compaq, etc. to tell me their
detailed hardware configurations so I could verify they'd work well with Linux.
The fact is, they don't really know them, they just have a stream of Win32
compatible parts showing up at their distribution centers. At any given moment,
they could be installing (say) one of 2 similar video cards but they couldn't
tell you which one is going to be in your machine.

- The major resellers offer some OEM versions of components (like the Compaq and
Hp version of the Matrox G200 video card). But these OEM versions sometimes have
less functionality than the "retail" version and this can impact you if you have
to have a critical feature.

- Every single configuration I looked at from a reseller would have needed to
have had a part or two eventually upgraded or changed to get a fully functional
Linux box (except the Linux resellers, see below). Most of the big main channel
vendors build boxes with Winmodems, for example (anathema!). I didn't want to
buy a new box and then start replacing units just to get it to work with Linux.

- I wanted it done right. Every one of my friends who has bought retail and then
got into his box has found non-standard build practices and component choices
that, while not impeding use, has made upgrading a nightmare in some cases.

- I wanted an upgradeable box that was viable for the next several years. I
chose a good SCSI adapter, hard drive and CD-ROM unit. I made the mainboard, CPU
and memory the least expensive part of the whole bundle and sank the money I
saved into increasing my IO performance. And I bought a good case and power
supply. Many of the boxes sold by the major resellers have limited prospects for
longevity and compatibility with future products and I wanted to avoid the
mandatory upgrade cycle.

- I wanted SCSI, something that goes for a premium from the resellers.  A SCSI
box will perform better under Linux. It was cheaper to do it myself for the
implementation that I settled on.

- I wanted all the documentation that came with my hardware and I wanted to know
how to perform surgery if I ever had to replace part of the system. I am one of
those people that is comforted by the knowledge that I can do it my self.

- I wanted to achieve a very stable box under Linux and Win32. Specing the parts
myself was less of a chore than trying to find a ready made box that would work.
Yes, I know VAResearch and others are filling that niche in the market, but
their products are overpriced, IMO, for what you get. I built a box in February
that was similar to one VA was offering for $2800. I paid the same price in
parts and got a better SCSI host adapter and hard drive and got 64 Mb more
memory than the VA box.

- Finally, I wanted a very solid box with good reliability. I chose every part
in my list for compatibility, rather than performance. I have enough trouble
with the computers at my job, I didn't want to repeat these experiences at home.
The result has been worth the effort.

- A side effect of this effort has been that I learned a lot about PC's, not a
bad thing.

Good luck,

Subject: BT878 video capture based cards...
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 15:19:33 +0200


        Hi

        Is there anybody successfully using a *BT878* ('new' version of BT848)
based card ? The LINUX 'bttv' driver should work with this new chip but
I have tested 3 BT878 based cards with no success :-(( The video is
displayed but it's very bad (such as a sync problem...). 2 of these
cards look very simple: a single BT878 chip, 1 quartz + 2 or 4 video
inputs...
        The chips seem to be the same for the 3 cards (made by Connexant,
'BT878KHF').

        I have tested several versions of the bttv driver: kernel 2.2.9
included version, last version 0.6.4 from the official bttv website
(http://www.thp.uni-koeln.de/~rjkm/linux/bttv.html), and an older
version running on 2.0.36...

        I never had problems with similar cards based on the 'old' BT848.

        Thanks a lot for your help.

        Regards

I've got a problem with login in the X-window system (SUSE 6.1, kernel

My root password contains ( and ), which are at my keyboard located above

On a german keyboard <shift>8 is '(' and <shift>9 ')' so you could try
this.
Since Suse is a german company, maybe they set german mapping as a
startup-default, and you have to change this.

Hope that helps.

I installed a third hard disk some  time ago and moved /usr and /home to
it. Everything works ok except that it now takes about 10 minutes for me
to boot linux. The output of /sbin/fdisk -l is:

   Device Boot  Begin   Start     End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1           1       1      51  102784+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hdb2          52      52     604 1114848   83  Linux native
/dev/hdb3         605     605     613   18144   82  Linux swap
/dev/hdb4         614     614     621   16128   82  Linux swap
/dev/hdd1           1       1    2000 1007968+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdd2        1024    2001   16383 7249032   83  Linux native

/dev/hda contains my windows stuff and a small partition on /dev/hdb is
also dedicated to windows./dev/hdd1 and /dev/hdd2 is the third hard
disk. It has a capacity of 8.4 gb.

The boot process slows to a crawl when the third hard disk is being
read. Any ideas?
Thanks, JWC
