[DDN] feature bloat in hp's printer driver software
hi everyone - this evening i went to help a first year college student friend who has a donated imac with 96 megs of memory and mac os 9.2. i helped him download the printer driver software for an hp deskjet 5120 printer. when we went to install the software, we got a message saying that this printer driver software requires 128 megs of memory. it's been a while since i've done computer programming, but i can't think of any good reason why printer driver software requires 128 megabytes of memory. perhaps there is feature bloat in this software? whatever the reason, this college student now cannot print his homework at home. he needs to send his homework to himself as a file attachment and then print it at his college -- which charges him for each page he prints. hp is otherwise a decent company and i'm usually a big fan of their products. they need to do better in supporting lower memory computers. under mac os 9.2, 96 megs is by no means low memory. i wonder if there are any hp employees here on the DDN or CTCNet email lists. is there a way to get the word to the right people about this kind of issue? thanks in advance to anyone who is able to relay this feedback. - phil -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.his.com/pshapiro/ (personal) http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/pshapiro (blog) http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro (technology access work) http://mytvstation.blogspot.com/ (video and rich media) Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others. - Desiderata ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.

RE: [DDN] feature bloat in hp's printer driver software
Phil, It may not be the answer you were looking for but depending on the type of memory, there may be readily available and very cheap upgrade options. Some imacs take generic desktop RAM and some take laptop RAM. If it takes the older type desktop RAM, there should be some available for a very small price. I recently ran into the same problem with an older imac and a Cannon printer. After some internet digging I found that by turning off a few of the printer extensions it was able to work, with less than the required amount of memory. Hope this helps.

[DDN] Re: What can we do to prepare for a DISASTER?
Hi Deborah,In answer to your question about a trained group of volunteers that can help post missing persons during a disaster, I think this is exactly what happened. As soon as the people were out of New Orleans and in other places they were immediately helped with all the volunteers to use technology to find their loves one. This was done while waiting for the government to decide what to do. The more major concern at this time is keeping track of the refugees, where they went, what they need, which is what the new database by VisionLink is providing. This on-line database has taken years to develop and covers every area of persons life and is flexible to accommodate the homeless and the disaster victims. RECA Foundation and 4People are beginning to use this for our Homeless in eastern Washington, and almost any techie could easily walk around and get the information needed for this case management system. The important thing about the database is that Red Cross, FEMA! , Salvation Army, United Way and others have all AGREED to use this one, so it goes beyond posting, but providing services to the victims. My more immediate concern would be to make sure that New Orleans has Wi-Fi and computer centers in non-profits, hospitals, schools, senior centers, DSHS, HUD buildings so that everyone can learn to use the Internet to help themselves. My other concern is that the RED Cross, FEMA and all involved with disaster preparedness need to update their Disaster Preparedness Kits to include communications equipment. How about a solar powered battery recharger, or a hand held recharger. We need to proceed with making most computers wireless and showing people how to use these. We need to get the legislature and city officials to make deals with the ISP's to provide wireless access for FREE during a disaster. This is a great example to show non-profits how much they truly need to use the Internet. We still have a number of holdouts in our community even thought we have been pushing them for over 13 years.

[DDN] Re: What can we do to prepare for a DISASTER?
Remember the discussion about those cyber vans? Wouldn't it be nice if FEMA would have had about 50 of them? Or even a 100? They could have located in places where they could be used for disaster (and other) training; but in an emergency, they would be rounded up and trucked and ready-to-use in a few days at the disaster site(s). With all that money that is coming forward, one would think someone on the DD list would have the connections to get an order - for, say?, 50? They would not be all that hard to build.

I am interested to know if anyone recommends any good websites/articles/organizations regarding the provision of basic technologies of development (like wells and electricity). I feel frustrated that, because of my web development background perhaps, I am surrounded with ideas about wikis and photoblogs, etc., but I know nothings about what it takes to, say, get some solar panels or a water purifier up and running.

Re: [DDN] Basic Technologies
Hi Chris I'll look back into some of my files and links, but you might want to look into micro hydro power (tiny generators in streams or rivers, linked to batteries). I researched it a bit when I was looking for alternatives to a huge dam that was planned for the Usumacinta River, between Mexico and Guatemala. Due to local and international protest, that dam plan has been shelved - for now. But when I posted information on micro hydro on my blog, it got more comments and requests for more info than almost anything else I've posted. http://www.gomaya.com/glyph/archives/86.html One of the links in that post was to a (surprisingly?) good source of papers on sustainable development - the World Bank. Politics aside, there are good resources there. http://www-wds.worldbank.org/ Here for instance is a list of 171 items returned in a search for solar: http://www-wds.worldbank.org/servlet/WDS_IBank_Servlet?stype=AllWordsall=solarx=9y=8ptype=sSrchpcont=resultssortby=Dsortcat=D For news and reports on sustainable technologies of all kinds, in a format irresistible to webheads like us, you can't beat WorldChanging: http://www.worldchanging.com/ I'll see what else I can find.

[DDN] Re: What can we do to prepare for a DISASTER?
First, long ago we tossed the idea of a bus...the van (40 foot container) would be towed for placement weeks and months on end. (outside of a Walmart) Next, it seems to me there is some advantage to having a self-contained shell where the equipment can be stored, used, and shipped - and where people can make their way to it, and work shoulder to shoulder. Just a thought. And you could be right. Maybe a boxes of computers which have all the information on their hard drivers, and bookmarks, etc. would be sufficient. Load them on an airplane and have the people find the outer carton, unpack same and set up shop. Wireless has changed a lot, that's for sure. At 7:26 PM -0400 9/14/05, Ronda Evans wrote: cyber vans?
