Re: nvidia and latest unstable kernel image

[Seb]

Hi,

I still cannot use the new 2.6.25 kernel due to this problem with nvidia
module, even with the recently available linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64
and image packages.  I'm starting to think that these don't work with my
card anymore.  If anybody has any further tips, I'd be grateful for
them.  Thanks.


Cheers,

Dear folks,

I bought a Samsung ML-2510 laser printer a while ago and drove it under Debian 
Etch and now Lenny.

It seems to have developed a fault of some sort.

The manufacturer says that I can run diagnostic software under either Linux (so 
it says) or MSWindows that might give me a hint as to why it is freezing up.

I don't think it is a paper jam.

I could mess around with this but I am very busy.

So very busy that it is cheaper in time and money to simply buy a new printer 
to solve the problem.

The printer cost me $100 or so.

If I spent e.g. $1000 on a printer solely with the intent of finding one that 
is very reliable that Lenny will drive well and smell  malfunctions and 
diagnose what they are really well (better still the printer itself has a 
display on it that gives copious details of any error on it indepedently of the 
operating system that is driving it that anyone could understand quickly), what 
printer would you recommend?
  


Hi Michael,

I bought a Brothzer HL5270DN printer 2 years ago. Its a network 
connected printer for small workgroups and i installed the printer on 
diefferent computers with different OS. There was Debian AMD64 unstable, 
Debian i686 stable and also Windows XP.
Sometimes I had some trouble with fonts when the original CUPS-driver 
was changed a lot. Another possibility is to use the original Brother 
PPD-File which is provided at the Brother support website.


Please dont aks for newer printer models, I have no experience with them.

regards,
Markus


I am beginning to understand why people buy printers from Xerox etc.

Prior to switching to Ricoh I was using HP and then Xerox. I have no regrets 
with switching to Ricoh.

I've been using three different Ricoh printers here at the office, all under 
Etch for several years now without any serious problems. One is a color 
desktop, one is a B&W desktop & one is a digital color 
copier/scanner/printer. IMHO the most important criteria are to select a 
model which natively supports Adobe PostScript and configure CUPS to use the 
appropriate PPD file.

The process has not been entirely painless. I've had some mechanical problems, 
but Ricoh factory service has been very dependable. One the one hand, Ricoh 
support will not hang up on you when you mention Linux, but on the other, 
there are some functions WRT to the multifunction printer that only can be 
accessed using a Windows driver.

HTH!

Well if I was buying a laser printer I would get the xerox 6130 or 6180,
since both have network support built in along with postscript 3
natively.  If it does postscript natively you can't go wrong.  Do wotch
out for the cheaters that just claim postscript support in their windows
or Mac driver which of course doesn't mean anything.  The 6125 on the
other hand does NOT have a print engine and doesn't do postscript and
only works with windows.  So no need to spend a $1000, about 350 to 400
should do.  As for diagnostics, the xerox printers have a web server
built in that gives you all the info you could want about what they are
doing.

So far I have been very impressed by the xerox laser printers.  My
father uses a 6300 which has been great, and we use a 7400 at work which
is a great printer (but much more expensive and a lot bigger).

And my experience is HP printers are finicky and slow and a pain in the
ass, and their postscript support is a joke (no idea how they make it
that slow).
