[expert] Support for HP Deskjet 970Cxi

[Alvaro Nunes]

Hi,

I discovered what seems to be support for my printer (HP Deskjet 970 
Cxi). Unfortunately, when I tried install it, DrakeRpm asked for one of 
the extra cds from Mandrake 7.1. Now, my question is if I can find this 
support from any other place.

Thanks
Alvaro

[expert] Missing Icons

[Alvaro Nunes]

Hi,

I installed 7.1 and after that Helix Gnome. Everything right, except 
that the desktop icons of root was changed, not by Helix Gnome icons but 
common icons of system.  Even worst, I can find the icons, select them, 
but the other are not substituted. Had happened the same to anyone of 
you? Anyone knows how can I solve this?

Thanks
Alvaro

Thank you fou your help. Ans  thanks too for all other gays that try to give
advise. Infortunately, because some mail problems I only could receive this
one.

Nevertheless, Tom, I couldn't do what you say. This is because, on
installation, Mandrake identifies very well my print and sugests (correctly,
I guess) that I use as filter print Desject/Deskjet Plus. The problem is
that this filter have no options to colour bit, I mean, this have only a
'default' option. So I can' t make any change at all. I guess that there is
nothing to do except wait to another Linux Mandrake.

Thanks
Alvaro Nunes

Hi

Can you make color prints or only black & white? I ask this because I have a
Deskjet 970Cxi and only prints on B&W.

Thanks
Alvaro
