Re: [vox-tech] Printing on non-Linux-compatible printers via Windows PC (was: Printer Recommendation?
Hey Trevor. I moved the e-mail back to vox-tech so other people can benefit from our discussion. I hope that's okay. Yeah, so the URL I gave you shows you how to setup the Windows XP computer attached to the printer. After that's all done, the Linux computer can print to the Windows computer just like any UNIX computer on the network with its LPR port open. This can be done in several ways, but these days it's done most commonly with CUPS. There are several CUPS-configuration tools, but the canonical one is a web-interface one which you can access from your Linux box via this URL: http://localhost:631/ Select "Administration Tasks", enter "root" as your username and type in the root password, [Add Printer], type in a printer name then continue, select "LPD/LPR Host or Printer", type in the URL to the printer in this format: lpd://windows_box_ip/queue where "windows_box_ip" is the IP address or the name of the windows box, and "queue" is "GhostscriptLPR" (if you followed the directions on the website exactly.) You might need to change your windows box to static IP and refer to the box by its IP if you can't use the windows box's name as "windows_box_ip". Hope that helps! -Mark On Sun, 14 Nov 2004, Trevor M. Lango wrote: > On Sunday 14 November 2004 16:41, you wrote: > > On Sun, 14 Nov 2004, Trevor M.

Hmm, that's not much of a backup server. What I do is run rsyncd on my server at home that's attached to DSL, and the offsite server sends its backups to that. This works really well since I get about 5 Mbps inbound from the DSL. It's also comforting to have the two machines in different states and under different management... for example I'm not screwed if I have a billing dispute with the hosting provider. BTW I'm using Layered Technologies (layeredtech.com) for unmanaged hosting for a startup business. They have really good deals and astronomical bandwidth. -- Rod ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

Re: [vox-tech] What not to backup on RH9/apache
Stuff you really should back up: /etc /home /var (don't need everything here but back up everything just in case) Stuff you don't really need to back up 'cuz they should be empty, but you should if they aren't: /usr/etc /usr/local/etc Everything else you should be able to recover from the original Linux CD by reinstalling or whatever. If you don't want to go through the reinstallation process if your system gets ever trashed, you should back up everything except /tmp. But don't quote me on that -- double and triple check just in case. If you don't back up everything but just the directories I list above, be careful when you restore your system because you have to make sure you've installed the exact same packages and restore just the stuff you need and don't create conflicting settings. I *highly* recommend you back up everything unless you know exactly what's going on with each directory 'cuz it'll give you problems later when you have to recover stuff. -Mark On Sun, 14 Nov 2004, Jack LaPlante wrote: > I've done some preliminary reading on rsync, it seems like what I want. > I'm still curious about which are the obvious RH9 directories that > change too often or are devices etc. and should not be backed up. > > Rod Roark wrote: > > > I think you want to read up on rsync.

Re: [vox-tech] Printer Recommendation?
Yeah, I agree with the others. HP's inkjet quality is not as good as some of the other vendors. When I was working, we had an old Xerox printer and the latest greatest HP all-in-one printer and the Xerox beat HP in printer quality hands-down no contest oh-so-obvious when we tried to print business cards on glossy paper. I'd buy HP inkjet only because it's easier finding compatible Linux driver, but since Rod and Rick has some good references for other vendors I wouldn't even think about HP inkjet. HP *laserjet* (1100) has been really good for me, though, except for that one time but it turned out to be a manufacturing defect and HP took the first step to contact me before I thought about contacting them (one of the good things about registering your product.) Everything's working peachy now, and I'm still using a toner from ~3 years ago that I got from OfficeMax at discounted price because it was mispriced and I called it on them... =) For my parents, I got them a Lexmark all-in-one (inkjet) printer, but it has absolutely no Linux suport. Lexmark is generally bad with Linux support, apparently. But I could still print to that printer from my Linux box via the LAN using some postscript wrapper driver. That still needs the printer to be hooked up to a Windows box, though. For me, the hardest part about shopping for inkjet printers is that most computer places that I shop at lack choice. Since I look for printers other than HP, that limits my choice quite a bit. These days I look for all-in-one (with fax capability if at all possible) since the price difference is so little and you get all other stuff with the printer. That limits the choice to about 2-3 printers per store (with half of them without fax capability), none of which are listed in the Linux compatibility chart I take with me (if I take one.) So I generally pick one based on the vendor, which usually turns out to be incompatible with Linux. That seems to be same with every piece of hardware these days. It's much easier if you buy online, though. Anyway, something to think about! -Mark On Sun, 14 Nov 2004, Robert G.

Re: [vox-tech] Printer Recommendation?
Quoting Robert G. Scofield ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > So what do people recommend for Linux? I would carefully read Grant Taylor's recommendations: http://www.linuxprinting.org/suggested.html He recommends some particular Epson and HP models, and warns against most others. Many of his comments give reasons why the former company, in general, offers better value and support to the Linux community. (Taylor is basically _the_ top expert on Linux printing.) Personally, I think inkjet printers generally are a rip-off for daily use, and therefore unacceptable for that role. People tend to justify them on grounds that (1) the price of admission is low, and (2) they might occasionally want to do colour printing. Thereafter, they get eaten alive by the cost of ink cartridges. This is true even if you try to stick to black and white. If I had an occasional need for colour printing -- I happen not to -- I certainly _would_ buy one, but then not use it for general printing. For that, I'd also acquire some workhorse printer using toner-based printing (laser or LED-based). If pinched for funds, I'd get one used. Concerning the _new-unit_ retail market for monochrome lasers, Taylor says: "Worthwhile lasers begin around $300; at that price level you have several choices." -- Cheers, "Plus ça change" Rick Moenhttp://linuxmafia.com/~rick/pictures/1861-versus-2004.jpeg [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.: http://www.sorryeverybody.com/gallery/1/ ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

I think you want to read up on rsync.

On Sunday 14 November 2004 12:31 pm, Robert G. Scofield wrote: > I was wondering if someone could recommend an inkjet printer for Linux use. Here are a couple of data points. We used to have an Epson C80 which worked OK but used a lot of ink and the cartridges were expensive. A few months ago we replaced it with a Canon i860 and were very pleased with its performance and quality, especially with photos. Also it seems to be much more frugal with the ink and, unlike the Epson, has not had any problems with the cartridges drying out or clogging. However getting Canon's Linux driver for the i860 to work (ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/) was a real pain. If I did it again I'd shell out a few bucks for the driver at http://www.turboprint.de/turboprint.html. We also have an old HP laser printer that gets most of the B&W print jobs - it's much cheaper that way. -- Rod ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

I used to host about 12 clients by reselling CIHost shared accts, now I have my own dedicated server (at 1and1.com) and have been moving clients to it over the past few months. CIHost claims nightly backups, but when a drive failed there a couple of weeks ago, the most recent backup they had was 9 months old. My best customers were still on that drive and were quite pissed off! So now I am setting up a backup regime on my dedicated server. I'm buying the backup server from 1and1, and it is accessible only by logging in from my root server. There's no bandwidth charge for ftping on their internal network. I guess I will use tar to create a local archive on the root server, then ftp the compressed archive to the backup server. I'm assuming I can automate this with bash scripts and cron. Basically, I want to be as all-inclusive as I can, so if my HD fails there will be as little interuption as possible. So I thought I would include everything *except* certain directories.

[vox-tech] Printer Recommendation?
I was wondering if someone could recommend an inkjet printer for Linux use. My printer will cost more to repair than it will cost for me to buy a new one. I'm not using Linux now because of a motherboard problem. I'm a 100% Windows98 user. But I will get a new computer as soon as I get the money, and so need to plan for future Linux use. As a Windows user I'm leaning toward Epson. I've heard that the inks are better than HP inks in that they do not run as much if the paper gets wet. In addition, Epson has 3 or 4 separate color ink cartridges. So if you run out of yellow you get a yellow cartridge instead of having to pay $40 or so for one color cartridge like you have to do with an HP. As a past and future Linux user I'm leaning toward HP because HP makes Linux drivers. SuSE 9.0 had the HP drivers and it was nice being able to easily choose different printing options. I don't know whether or nor there is as much driver support for an Epson. So what do people recommend for Linux? Thank you.

The only removable device it has is the network card. I tried removing it, but it didn't help. Anyway, it's io ports are in the 4000s, not the f000s where my usb controller is. I will append my /proc/ioports, but I can't see any overlaps or anything obviously wrong. The range for the usb controller is fca0 to fcbf. Maybe that is too small or something. The ide controller and sound card are below and above. The sound card is also below because it has several ranges. Why does it use so much? What are the regions anyway, in relation to the io port ranges?

[vox-tech] Samba Printer Issues
I'm having a truly annoying issue with my printer. It used to be just fine, but now it's... well, not. Here's the setup: Windows XP laptop Print server running RH 8.0 HP 710C printer connected via parallel port Samba 2.something running on the RH server Everything seems to look good; however, when printing a document, any document, it gets about halfway through, then hangs for several minutes before continuing. This started up about six months ago but has never really presented that much of an issue. Here's the output from lpq on the RH machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~ # lpq Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' saved at 08:52:14.84 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time done [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 902 smbprn.000449.nEpM8j 89114 08:15:13 Samba seems to think that the print job is done. -- Slainte, Richard S.
