In some ways yes, in others, no. PDQ doesn't have a spooler, so all users need to be able to print. Currently it looks like this is just done by makeing the print devices world-writeable. As the comment says, pam_console (see /etc/security/console.perms) would be better, which is how a lot of other devices are managed. Of course, PDQ doesn't have a daemon running with elevated priveleges (like CUPS does). So, with PDQ you are allowing any logged in user to send any data they like to the machine, with CUPS you are allowing any remote user (unless you do some work securing it) to send data to port 631 on your machine. Worst case scenario for PDQ is someone sends data to your printer that does it some harm (or uses your paper). With CUPS, they could again elevated priveleges, *and* waste all your paper ;-). For a single-user, non-networked machine, PDQ is better. But, for a network, CUPS is just so much easier (easier than Windows printing since you just plug a machine in the network and it finds all printers, and you don't have to worry about printer drivers etc).

[Cooker] printer-utils
Hi Would it be possible to update z42tools in printer-utils to 0.3.4b - its currently at 0.2.0 which is very old. Also it seems wasteful to include the mtink gimp plugin here, could it not be added to the gimpprint package instead as this only contains a gimp 1.2 plug-in. This way it makes it easier for people who do not have gimp-1.2 installed, as otherwise printer-utils requires libgimp1.2_1 as well, for no reason other than the plugin. Cheers cris.

[Cooker] [printer] Epson status monitor (mtink) permissions problem
Hello, The normal user haven't the permission to use the Epson status monitor (to see ink level for exemple). I have the following error message (in French) when I try to launch it (in config menu and in Gimp): "Pas de droit d'accès aux fichiers /dev... Remédiez à ceci.

[Cooker] printer drake loop
Setting up a network printer, printerdrake says my net isn't configured, do I want to configure it now? Saying yes gets me the same question, in a loop. [1] add a new printer [2] leave all 3 autodetect ceckboxes selected. resize the window so teh Cancel and Next buttons are visible, and press next [3] a message appears in its own window: You are going to configure a remote printer. This needs working network access, but your network is not configured yet. If you go on without network configuration, you will not be able to use the printer which you are configuring now. How do you want to proceed? [x] confiure the network now [ ] go on without configuring the network (ok) (cancel) [4] choose OK, you instantly get exactly the same message, in a different place on the screen [5] choose OK, you instantly get exactly the same message, in a different place on the screen [6] Go on without configuring the network, get "No printer found!" The same loop happens if only "[x] Auto-detect printers connected to the local network" is selected. [7] if you don't select any autodetecting you are asked if the port is on parallel port #0 #1 or #2, or USB printer #0 #1 or #2, no mention of network printers. It's possible to add a networked printer by IP address (what I needed to do) in Advanced mode, though. Liam -- Liam Quin, W3C XML Activity Lead, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] printer problem with cd switch
beta3: When trying to set up my printers, it asked for cd1 again, but the cd drive was locked, as somebody else also reported. I did not see an answer yet, tho. The missing possibilility to switch back to cd1 made the x installation go down the drain, so the installation was infunctional. Keld
[Cooker] Printer config in Beta3
The printer configuration works properly, but consider adjusting one minor point. When the user is prompted to either "auto-detect" or "manually configure" his printer, if he presses the manual button, it just provides a list of 6 choices, parallel 0-2 and USB 0-2. If he wanted to just use a Remote CUPS server, there's no option to do it. Hitting the Cancel button does do this. I suggest that we add an option that says "Remote CUPS server, no local printer" and remove the Cancel button. Blue skies...

[Cooker] Printer, and sound configuration, 8.2 beta-2
When configuring printers at install time it is impossible to back out of the config routine. This is very annoying if, like me, you have a serial printer. The first dlg of the config routine presents a choice of USB and parallel printers which it's impossible to back out of without selecting one of them. Going through the task of configuring a fictitious printer is the only way to complete the install. On the other hand, it would be great if serial printers were supported ;-). This beta still fails to detect my AWE64 PNP sound card properly, as did the beta-1. When installing in expert mode for some reason XFree86 4.2 ended up with a dead link from X and therefore didn't work. Installing in non-expert mode I didn't get this problem.

Re: [Cooker] printer share
I assume that your Linux clients use LPD as printing system (with CUPS all goes automatically). So you must set up an LPD emulation (the so-called CUPS-LPD mini daemon) on your CUPS server.

[Cooker] printer commands & KDE
Below is a thread in kde-user. Is there any possibility to incorporate cups clients in kde programs? Ralf. kde-user thread: If you have got no /etc/printcap file generated by cups, insert in cupsd.conf: "Printcap /etc/printcap" I don't know any possibility to print via qtcups in kde (and I use Mandrake). So, if you want to modify the printer settings, your solution (temporary ps file) is the current way to go. I think that I'll also send this email to the Mandrake-devel list: Maybe they know a more elegant way, e.g. kde printer selection could show all instances of a printer (with different options).

Try to update to the newest Cooker versions: CUPS 22mdk, GhostScript 25mdk, CUPS-drivers 13mdk. Then you will get two entries for the HP DeskJet 610.

[Cooker] Printer problem
Hi all.. I noticed in the first beta a problem with my HP Deskjet 672c. The printer util used during the installation recognized my printer, but when it came to the printer selection 672 (or 670) was not an option. I tried some of the other Deskjet choices, but was no able to print a test page. Previous Mandrake versions have had an HP 670 (I believe it was 550 and up or something) which worked without a flaw. Perhaps I'm missing something? Anyhow, I'm wondering if this type of printer is an option in beta2? Thanks for your time. JP

Did you remove the hash ('#') in the beginning of the line and did you

You do not need to add the printer which is once installed under CUPS
again, the /etc/printcap is always automatically updated when necessary.

What is your default printer (/etc/cups/client.conf,
/etc/cups/lpoptions, ~/.lpoptions, last file has highest priority)? Does
this printer exist? Did you try to print with xpp? You can also set xpp
as printing command.
Try also to replace the "lpr" commands by "lpr-cups" commands. If this
is necessary, deinstall or update the lpr package.

Re: [Cooker] Printer driver packages renamed
Hi Till, I've been looking into getting the oki4w driver up and running under CUPS on Linux Mandrake. Unfortunately there appear to be some problems. Firstly, when I looked at the CUPS-o-matic entries on the Linux Printing site, the oki4w wasn't there. Secondly, the oki4w driver (man page attached) suggests that the driver should be run SUID root and also not in pure filtering mode under a spooling daemon such as lpd. I presume this applies to CUPS as well. Can you see a way around this?

Oi, I have renamed the printer filter packages (which filter raster output of GhostScript to the proprietary printer protocols) to make the names more "human-readable": lpstyl --> Apple-StyleWriter-printer-driver__lpstyl-0.9.9-1mdk.i586.rpm cjet -->Canon-CaPSL-printer-driver__cjet-0.8.9-2mdk.i586.rpm lm1100 --> Lexmark-1100-printer-driver__lm1100-1.0-2mdk.i586.rpm c2070 --> Lexmark-2070-color-printer-driver__c2070-0.99-2mdk.i586.rpm Lexmark2070 --> Lexmark-2070-grayscale-printer-driver__Lexmark2070-0.6-2mdk.i586.rpm cZ11 -->Lexmark-Z11-printer-driver__cZ11-0.01-2mdk.i586.rpm The new names contain "printer-driver" so that one knows for what they are, the printer type is in the beginning, so it stays readable even if the long name is cut in a listing, and the packages can also be searched by the name of the filter executable (which is inside the CUPS PPD files) because this name one always finds after the "__". I hope these names are better for the daily life now. Till

Re: [Cooker] Printer config at the installation
Dannya wild guess would be that you don't have a /etc/hosts.lpd file. If not then as root, create a text file of that name with your choice of text editors, containng a single '+' character followed by a single press of the 'Enter' key in it. Alan "Danny W.

[Cooker] Printer config at the installation
Hi Yesterday I again tried the latest beta, and was again surprised with the printer config menu: "Text printer| HP DJ | Postscript". It would frustrate even an experienced user. What if I have an HP LJ?! Of course, printtool and *drak* work, but what is the intent of that installation menu? I fuzzily recall, that an analogous menu of Red Hat was more meaningful.

Re: [Cooker] Printer Brother HP-1240 -- bug/problem fixed?!? --dunno
bingo! it prints almost fine now!! when using the drakex > printtool, i needed to leave it at defaults! (see below) Name of quene: lp Spool directory: /var/spool/lpd/lp instead, i was changing it to lp0 and /var/spool/lpd/lp which resulted in the printtool working and printing appropriate test pages and then reverting to same buggy behavoir with netscape and kedit (of course i sort of figured it was reverting to my old configured driver, or so). I was changing the lp to lp0 since i didn't like having a quene name w/o a number (a syntax which i prefer when one may have more than several quenes). My printer now looks like it is fully working. It prints within netscape very well (postscript). it prints "missing the first horizontal line of text" when printing from "kedit" files (or text), to resolve this, i could either enter a blank line for the top line or print by choosing the check box "Print using the Command 'enscript -2rG' " On Wed, 23 Feb 2000, you wrote: > seems to be some corrections are need to be placed thru the "Linux Printer > Database Site" (forgot the url) > > Brother HP-1240 Printer uses the "HP Laserjet IIp" driver(!!!) and NOT the "HP > Laserjet 4/5/6" driver. > > as such, after my breif (very helpful tip from Brother Tech Support), this > problem is now solved with printing only the "test pages (ascii and > postscirpt) within the printtool - the left and top margings being "cut" short > by 1-2 character widths.

seems to be some corrections are need to be placed thru the "Linux Printer Database Site" (forgot the url) Brother HP-1240 Printer uses the "HP Laserjet IIp" driver(!!!) and NOT the "HP Laserjet 4/5/6" driver. as such, after my breif (very helpful tip from Brother Tech Support), this problem is now solved with printing only the "test pages (ascii and postscirpt) within the printtool - the left and top margings being "cut" short by 1-2 character widths. But, thru further experimentation with "kedit" and "netscape", they still print by cutting the margins and only printing the 1/4 page in netscape! Maybe this problem could be atleast corrected w/i the mdk distro release by adding an entry for the Brother HL-1240 printer (possible? dunno...whatever). *Note on additional research: Also, was advised (thru same tech support guy) that the Brother HL-1250 printer (very similar to 1240) should use the "HP Laserjet 4" driver.

[Cooker] printer problem with mdk 7.0 iso2
have a Brother HL-1240 (uses the hp laser jet 4/5/6 driver) prints the test acii page fine. when printing the postscipt (graphics if i have it named wrong), it only prints the upper/left 1/4 of the graphics page. a more serious problem is when i print from kedit (or any text editor), it still is cutting the top margin short by 1 line and teh left margin is being cut by 2 character widths! -- Sent from: Lattitude (deg):32.7130 Longitude (deg):-117.1530 Altitude (ft): 410.0 GMT to Local (hrs): -8.0 (daylight savings enabled) Created with Linux-Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com/ Currently Beta Testing Mandrake Ver >7.0

[Cooker] Printer configuration program is broken
Hi, I have been tracking the Mandrake Air betas, and I noticed recently that you removed the RH Printtool program. The Mandrake PrinterDrake does not work for configuring my HP DeskJet 882C (Using the DeskJet 500/600C filter). It has always worked using the RH printtool, so why doesn't printerdrake do it right??? I had to install the printtool RPM from my MDK6.1 CD. This actually worked. You should look into this problem. I am available for questions or remote access to my box. If you like, I can even open up for remote X sessions. Please contact me for further information. Deven Phillips, Cytronix Computer Services, Inc.

Re: [Cooker] printer problem
When setting up my local printer (HP 560c) it printsonly the text test page. Then the printer fails to work in any applications (I get "lpr: cannot open printer description file"). If I run printtool I get the following: Couldn't load dialog.tcl Start from control-panel or set environment variable CONTROL_PANEL_LIB_DIR to the control-panel library dir.
