Re: [gentoo-user] What printer should I buy?
Funny you just said that. I was just wondering how to connect to a network printer. Do I do something with CUPS?

[gentoo-user] cups/gimp-print not working
Hi there, I'm unable to print using gimp-print drivers. This seems to happen from the upgrade to cups 1.1.19, as this was working before without any problem. I have been able to print using the driver bundled with cups, but only with one of them (EPSON Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.1). If I try the "EPSON New Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.1" driver, the printer stops working. Here's my configuration: Printer -> Epson Stylus Color 850, attached to parallel port net-print/cups 1.1.19-r1 media-gfx/gimp-print 4.3.18 app-text/ghostscript 7.05.6-r3 I've unmerged and emerged a lot of times using different USE variables. Right now I don't use foomatic, as I emerge gimp-print with +ppds. I also have emerged again ghostscript with +cups, so I don't know what's the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated, regards Jose -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] What printer should I buy?
The latest gimp-print drivers for canon (in my case the BJC-6200, and at least one other report for a different canon model) seem to be broken, but the an older driver is in portage that works.

Things in package.mask are there for a reason, quite often because they are broken, break other packages, or do other nasty or untested things.

Did a manual kernel recompile as someone had suggested and now I am one step closer but am still not getting the boot. Current error msg is: VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem).

Have a look at /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask This file specifies which packages and version of the same that are hard-masked, meaning that the ~x86 won't be enough to emerge them. It's no use trying to change anything in it since it gets replaces as soon as you run 'emerge sync'.

[gentoo-user] Step 10. Setting Gentoo optimizations (make.conf) - Install Help
Hi all. This is my first attempt at installing Gentoo, and I've run into a problem during the install. The problem is that I'm just not sure how to go forward when told to modify the "USE" flags in make.conf. I'm coming from the world of RedHat here, so I'm used to having my hand held all the way through the install. I decided to give Gentoo a try so that I could actually learn what is going on behind this GUI. When I look at the available list of USE flags, I'm like "hell ya I want that" on just about every single one of them! At least based on the short discription given in the docs -- am I going overboard with this flag, or is it common to have a lot of those options there? I'm installing this on a PII 400MHz laptop, PCMCIA support is required, and will be using WindowMaker as my window manager. Can someone help point out the flags that are a "must" and some that I should probably consider? Nick -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] local mail delivery
I seem to have no local mail delivery: > echo test | mail -s test root -/bin/bash: mail: command not found So I started poking around and see that I already have ssmtp installed. It seems unconfigured so I make some obvious changes to /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. At this point I don't know how to start it up, there is no ssmtpd or anything obvious in /etc/init.d. I then decided to install sendmail. I was forced to unmerge ssmtp first do to a blockage, but then emerging sendmail put ssmtp right back in as a dependancy? Weird..

[gentoo-user] RPM installer for Gentoo
Is their currently a script/program out there that will install an RPM onto a Gentoo system? I'm not talking about 'rpm --nodeps -i file.rpm'. I mean a program that will parse the RPMs dependencies and then use portage to try and satisfy those dependencies, write a dummy ebuild, then use portage to install it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Printing to CUPS from another linux computer
i got this working between a gentoo system and a mandrake 9.1 system. i'm not terribly worried about security on my network inside my firewall, so i set Browsing On and BrowseAllow @LOCAL. uncommented , and (my printer) and set Allow From 10.1.0.0/24 (my network). you can refine these settings and even set password authentication. just read the file /etc/cups/cups.conf. it's format is very much like apache.conf. besides that i just used any browser and went to cups' built-in config at http://localhost:631. i don't remember if i had to manually add my printer in the config tool, but if you do, the address should be in the form ipp://192.168.0.2:631/printers/name_of_your_printer where 192.168.0.2 is the IP of the system with the printer attached to it. that should be it. i just got this working, so it's fairly fresh in my mind. if you have more questions, please ask. l8r.

Are there any good options other than ftp that will work with both Linux and Windows? WebDAV is a considerable option, with easy integration into major desktop systems like Windoze, MacOSX and Linux (both KDE and GNOME). Although it is definitely user friendly it's more complex in terms of setup. There's a number of Java server implementations available (Apache Tomcat being one of them, Resin another), as well as native implementations (mod_dav for apache web server). I guess, if you are familiar with apache, you should give mod_dav a try, or use Resin/Java otherwise. I am also concerned that my home studio firewall cannot limit ftp access by incoming IP, and will forward all ftp requests to this machine, so I need a solution that is pretty bullet proof, but hopefully is also easy enough for me to setup and run. (I be a IT guy not...) I found most ftp servers most complex to set up, stuff like wuftpd, proftp or others can somehow drive you mad. I like WebDAV better for additional support of SSL. Can someone point me toward a few potential solutions that would be secure and also easy for a beginner type to setup and maintain? Another option: Why don't you give your users shell access to your Linux box using ssh? Much easier to set up, works like a charm.

[gentoo-user] RE: Alternatives to ftp, or easy but secure ftp servers?
Hi Mark, I run an Apache Tomcat server (on Windoze (sorry!), not Linux, but it is Java, so it will run on Linux too). Tomcat has support for WebDAV built in. Once you have the server running (and permissions configured), Windows users can just add your server to their "My Network Places", open up the "place'", and then drag n' drop files into it. And it uses secure HTTP, so security should not be an issue. It works well for me, except when transferring big files from behind a firewall (this is probably a firewall issue). HTH, Martin Polley Technical Communicator +972 (53) 864280 -Original Message- From: Mark Knecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 3:57 AM To: Gentoo-User Subject: Alternatives to ftp, or easy but secure ftp servers? Hi, I work with some friends using Windows based environments doing music. We need to do studio to studio data file transfers. In a prior life I had an IT guy that managed an off-site ftp server and he was nice enough to give me a couple of accounts, but now I need to do this myself, and the only machine I have to do it on is my main studio Gentoo box. I am somewhat concerned about potential security issues using ftp, but since everyone is on Windows I also don't want to require them to use special tools just to be able to send me things. Are there any good options other than ftp that will work with both Linux and Windows? I am also concerned that my home studio firewall cannot limit ftp access by incoming IP, and will forward all ftp requests to this machine, so I need a solution that is pretty bullet proof, but hopefully is also easy enough for me to setup and run. (I be a IT guy not...) Can someone point me toward a few potential solutions that would be secure and also easy for a beginner type to setup and maintain?

[gentoo-user] Printing to CUPS from another linux computer
Hi, I've set up an HP DeskJet printer on one of my Gentoo computers without a problem using cups. After that, I've been trying for over a month now to print to that printer from other linux machines (all Gentoo), but with no luck. I can find little to no documentation about how to do this, all I can find is printing to samba hosts, or set up a samba server to allow this printer to be shared to Windows computers. But I have no Windows, so I don't see why I'd take that route. I have googled everywhere, but I can't find documentation about how to print from cups to cups using linux anywhere. I have tried installing the remote printer on various other machines, using ipp, http, socket, lpd, what-have-you. But when I'm done all I get to see is that the host is unavailable and that printing will be tried again in 30 seconds. LogLevel is set to debug, but there's not a mention of a request to print from other machines that I can find. Sometimes, when I still have some printjobs in queue and modify the printer, I get the message that a certain % of the printjob is finished, but it never seems to reach the printer and the status changes back soon to Host unavailable. I take it that it's some setting that needs to be modified on the computer running cupsd. I have 'Allow from All', 'Listen port 631' and 'Listen ' set in cupsd.conf, but still no luck. Does anyone have more ideas? TIA:) Vincent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
