[gentoo-amd64] printing to JetDirect
I'm trying to set up my machine to print to an external JetDirect device. It's the kind with three parallel ports. My printer is attached to the Port No. 1, so in TCP/IP terms, it's 192.168.1.30:9100 The JetDirect is on the same subnet. I can ping it, and I can establish a telnet session from the PC. I emerged cups, and was also able to go to the http://localhost:631 configuration page. That was before a recent emerge -D world update. Now I can't get to the web page anymore, and when I try to print, my printer does not show up in the list of available printers. I think I just need to start over. What packages do I need to make sure I have? I tried following the Gentoo cups instructions, but it doesn't deal with working with networked printers.

[gentoo-amd64] Re: /usr/lib & /usr/lib64
After too much thinking and checking, i've did the following: 1) boot from livecd 2) move /usr/lib/* to /usr/lib64/ (cp -Ru) 3) symlink /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib 4) emerge -eu world (the -u is not really required...) after that, i've a brand new comp where everything works as desired. i took about 30hrs to compile everything on my system: amd64 3000+ 939 winchester CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -funroll-all-loops -fpeel-loops -ftracer -funswitch-loops -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon64 -funroll-all-loops -fpeel-loops -ftracer -funswitch-loops -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox" in this post i just wanted to thank you everyone here to reply so quickly (i'm still waiting that someone post a solution in the official forums...), so i'll be around trying to help others cheers! -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-amd64] printing to JetDirect
Hi Mark, have you checked, that your config files like cupsd.conf, printers.conf, etc. in /etc/cups are still available? What is the output in error_log? Matthias Am Dienstag, 15.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] printing to JetDirect
Hi Matthias, I have the cupsd.conf and printers.conf. But should the error_log file also be in /etc/cups ?

Re: [gentoo-amd64] printing to JetDirect
Hi Mark, it should be somewhere in /var/.../spool/... Normally it is /var/log/cups/... Actual I do not have a gentoo installation in front of me, so I am not sure. But you can find in cupsd.conf a section, which show you, where the logfiles are. Matthias Am Dienstag, 15.

Thanks! are you sure that cupsd is still running? if not try to start it with `/etc/init.d/cupsd start` and if that fails check the errorlog (/var/log/cups/error_log) why it fails as for the JetDirect, I have one with only one port and its configuration is simple: Device: "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" Device URI: socket://:9100/ Make: good luck, Rudmer -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

Indeed. Only I'm always opening the two files in my favorite editor (mcedit) rather than running them thru a pager. Or, if I'm searching for a specific flag, as I often do after finding a new one on an emerge -av, I'll simply grep for it. Tab completion helps, too, so I don't have to remember the specific path and names, only have a general idea. I expect that's where ufed gets its descriptions anyway. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

[gentoo-amd64] wgetrc and emerge through a proxy
I installed ntlmaps, which works great to browse internet through our corporate proxy without being prompted for UID/PW Next I tried to get emerge to work. I added the lines: http_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865 ftp_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865 to the wgetrc file, as described in the ntlmaps docs. But the emerge hangs on "checking server timestamp". Anyone have experience with this situation? Thanks! -- Mark [unwieldy legal disclaimer would go here - feel free to type your own] -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

Anyone have experience with this > situation? Thanks! emerge sync relies on the rsync protocol, not HTTP. If your firewall doesn't allow that out, you'd probably have better luck using emerge-webrsync, which fetches a daily snapshot via HTTP to install as your portage tree.
