Adolf, Michael F scribbled nervously after reading Mark's message: No luck yet finding a linux driver for lexmark z54 inkjet. Has anyone got a z54 to work? mike Hi Mike... I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. First, the bad news...the Lexmark Z series printers are horrible on windows and nigh onto impossible in Linux. ( it really depends on how much time, effort, and sanity you wish to invest. ) The good news is, if you're REALLY tenacious it can be done. Although, you probably won't like the results. The Lexmark Z series has next to no firmware in the machine which means it has to get all it's instructions from the drivers it uses. I was able to get one of these to work, but as I said the results were terrible. What ended up happening I had to go through, with trial and error, and try ever cups driver for the Lexmark Z series till I found one that worked. It was aweful, so I went to Office Max and bought an HP LaserJet (HP 1200). I Love it! they were on sale at the time and it cost me $150.00.

Re: [newbie] BlueYonder
quoting Len Lawrence's missive of Thursday 29 May 2003 11:37 pm: Need your help again folks! Been swithering for months about taking up Telewest on their BlueYonder offer. Already have TV and telephone on cable. Next year I may be able to afford a high end notebook, which I would use for the broadband connection, leaving my 2 PCs upstairs on the 56K modem connection to Demon for email. Telewest state that they do not support connection to a Linux box/network, so basically you plug it in and do all the work yourself. My problem is that I haven't the first idea what is required beyond the MAC address for the network card, and DHCP, which I guess stands for something like dynamic hosting connection protocol. There are no known HOWTOs on broadband connection and Googling returns about 2 hits for BlueYonder +Linux. Haven't turned up anything useful in there so far. One looked promising but started with First make sure that it all works under Windows. Well, really! So, has anybody here done it for a standalone Mandrake only box? If not, goodbye BlueYonder. Hi Len; Uh huh. My cable ISP here has stated unequivocally that they do not support GNU/Linux in any form and that you'll have to figure it out on your own. I'd say the answer from you should be OK, I'll do that. Sly snickers and guffaws are optional, but will probably get you talked about. ;-) Especially since at least a few of the people on their Hell Desk, and in their tech division, are likely to be Linux users too. As is the case here. If the pages that I linked below is any indication the service will work with Mandrake just fine: http://www.ordior.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/BySwFAQ.html#sw7 Also this one with references to Mandrake: http://www.by-users.co.uk/faqs/linux/ and finally here: http://www.wellsted.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/config-linux.html all of which I found using a Google search at; http://www.google.ca/linux using the search string; blueyonder; linux. See? The wrap will probably kill the link though. http://www.google.ca/linux?hl=enie=ISO-8859-1safe=offq=blueyonder%3B+linuxbtnG=Google+Searchmeta= Let's look at a case shall we? A downstairs neighbour subscribed to the service a few months back. She was running a box with Windows 98 SE and was told she had to pick up the modem and NIC, install the card into a PCI slot, connect the power cord and RJ45 cable then; Load the install disk and run it to configure the system which changes the browser branding and configures the operating system, mail client, and network card etc and so on. Or set up an appointment to have a tech come out to do it for her. Sure she did. I had to show her how install a set of drivers for her NIC, then manually set up (winipcfg) entries for the DNS servers (memorized) etc., then argue with Windows a bit since it's been such a long time since I helped anyone set up any connection under Windows. After finally getting a connection, optimizing it, and fiddling to set up the initial e-mail account I rebooted her system and ran it from a Knoppix 3.2 disk. I had to do _nothing_ to have a connection, the system found and configured what was needed automagically. So did Mandrake 9.0. Just had to give it the (memorized) mail server names. I don't think there would be a difference with 9.1; at least I haven't had to do anything weird with the 21 systems I have helped people install it on. Mandrake is smarter than any version of Windows, more configurable after the fact, and you can count on the people here to help more than you ever could any Windows forum/list/user news group. Right? Just as an aside that 2.0MB service seems to be about equivalent to what my ISP here calls Shaw Lite which denotes a lower bandwidth service roughly equal to what's available from the phone company for aDSL at the same (roughly +/- $5) price of CDN$29.95 per month. 1.5 MB download, 756 KB upload speeds. The regular cable or Shaw High Speed Internet is rated at 8.0 MB down and 1.5 MB up. The cost is CDN$42.95 per month, or that plus digital cable for CDN$89.95. One must purchase the set top digital cable box for an additional CDN$89.95 for that though. Or (barf!) rent it monthly. I'm only comparing prices etc for the simple reason that I think you poor benighted souls in the U.K. pay far too much for service. I'm also wondering when the provider here will start bundling telephone service as well. g I hope some of this helps you.

I have tonnes of info if needed, but before I start to attach big files and create a 40KB e-mail I think it's wise to ask first. From what I read on the internet there were problems back in Decebmber 2001 that caused some hardware to get the same IO address... this may be my problem too, I'm not too sure. And if this is the case, the patch I found doesn't help as it's for an old kernel version, which I will not resort to as the rest of my hardware will not be supported :P So, if there anyone with experience here?

KVP-PC Staff http://www.kvp-pc.com Let's ignore for the moment the fact that it would make more sense for you to connect the linux machine to the DSL and use it as a gateway and firewall for the windoze clients. Maybe that can be version 2. If DSL is working from W2K, all you need to do is switch on internet connection sharing there and then set the address of that machine as the gateway for your linux box. You can set the gateway address using the control center, using the internet connection wizard. You will also need the address(es) of the DNS inserted into a file called: /etc/resolv.conf It should look like: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The first address is that of the primary DNS, then the secondary. You can have as many of these as your ISP provides. That's all that's required, but as said above, it would make a lot more sense to front-end with linux. Is your DSL modem ethernet connected or USB? If it's ethernet, then getting the linux gateway config going is really easy. If USB, then the answer is always it depends. Anyway, make a start and post more questions.

Re: [newbie] Lexmark X73 via samba does not print
On Friday 30 May 2003 12:56 pm, Lady Mark graced me with: I have tried to install a printer with LM 9.1. The printer, a Lexmark X73, is connected to a XP machine (192.168.1.101). Its share name is LexmarkX. I am 192.168.1.100. Printerdrake detected the network, installed samba (with MDKGROUP, whereas the rest of the network is Mshome), detected the printer, the brand and model, got a driver (for a X42), even gives me a printer status when I send a test page (printer ready), but no page prints. Where should I look for the glitch ? Thank you for your help. Lucy-Ann My first step, reagrdless of problems, would be to change the workgroup name on your network to one or the other. Make it 'mshhome' or 'MDKGROUP'. Secondly, I would place the name and IP address of your printer in all the 'hosts' and 'lmhosts' files, as they apply: LexmarkX192.168.1.101 If you are statically addressing your network (manually assigning the IP addresses for all devices and PC's), you should place these references in those files. It could be that you are looking to send the print spool to LexmarkX, but the computer doesn't know how to resolve that into an IP address, in this case 192.168.1.101. If you are running DHCP, you will need to check that to see if it shows assignments to the printer at that address. If you are statically addressing the printer, but using DHCP for everything else, you will need to place the printer name and IP in the 'hosts' and 'lmhosts' files as well as exclude that IP address from the DHCP range. There could be other concerns with your setup, Lady Mark, but these are two that seem obvious enough for me to comment on. The rest would be in your Samba setup, I would presume.

Maybe this is the ultimate indicator of a newbie. :-))) How do you do that? That's odd - it should come at the end of the install (or is it in the first-time wizard?). I have heard people talk about running the install again without selecting any packages, but perhaps someone could confirm that it is possible without formatting / ? Yeah, installing again works fine. It's scary at first because it asks you to set the mouse evry time (making you think you are starting over).

(can't remember the version numbers - but they're the ones that come with Mandrake) This time mcc didn't enter ANY values for HorizSync or VertRefresh though it seemed to come up with similar very low default values as before. So I added lines with the correct values. Running *X -probeonly* seemed to indicate that some additional working Modelines had been found. But when I started the GUI the screen stayed blank, and after working away for a short time the computer rebooted itself. I don't know what else to try - so any ideas would be most welcome! Regards David Bell David, I'm in this thread a little late, but tell us what video card you have. It might well be only supported in the 'older' 3.3.6 Xfree version. No big deal.but you do have to know! You stated that Gnome did work opposed to KDE.but at the right resolution or not? good luck, HarM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Been swithering for months about taking up Telewest on their BlueYonder offer. Already have TV and telephone on cable. Next year I may be able to afford a high end notebook, which I would use for the broadband connection, leaving my 2 PCs upstairs on the 56K modem connection to Demon for email. --- snip --- If the pages that I linked below is any indication the service will work with Mandrake just fine: http://www.ordior.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/BySwFAQ.html#sw7 Also this one with references to Mandrake: http://www.by-users.co.uk/faqs/linux/ and finally here: http://www.wellsted.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/config-linux.html snip -- Let's look at a case shall we? A downstairs neighbour subscribed to the service a few months back. She was running a box with Windows 98 SE and was told she had to pick up the modem and NIC, install the card into a PCI slot, connect the power cord and RJ45 cable then; Load the install disk and run it to configure the system which changes the browser branding and configures the operating system, mail client, and network card etc and so on. Or set up an appointment to have a tech come out to do it for her. Sure she did. I had to show her how install a set of drivers for her NIC, then manually set up (winipcfg) entries for the DNS servers (memorized) etc., then argue with Windows a bit since it's been such a long time since I helped anyone set up any connection under Windows. After finally getting a connection, optimizing it, and fiddling to set up the initial e-mail account I rebooted her system and ran it from a Knoppix 3.2 disk. I had to do _nothing_ to have a connection, the system found and configured what was needed automagically. So did Mandrake 9.0. Just had to give it the (memorized) mail server names. I don't think there would be a difference with 9.1; at least I haven't had to do anything weird with the 21 systems I have helped people install it on. All that is very encouraging. Mandrake is smarter than any version of Windows, more configurable after the fact, and you can count on the people here to help more than you ever could any Windows forum/list/user news group. Right? Right on. Just as an aside that 2.0MB service seems to be about equivalent to what my ISP here calls Shaw Lite which denotes a lower bandwidth service roughly equal to what's available from the phone company for aDSL at the same (roughly +/- $5) price of CDN$29.95 per month. 1.5 MB download, 756 KB upload speeds. The regular cable or Shaw High Speed Internet is rated at 8.0 MB down and 1.5 MB up. The cost is CDN$42.95 per month, or that plus digital cable for CDN$89.95. One must purchase the set top digital cable box for an additional CDN$89.95 for that though. Or (barf!) rent it monthly. I'm only comparing prices etc for the simple reason that I think you poor benighted souls in the U.K. pay far too much for service. Amongst other things. I'm also wondering when the provider here will start bundling telephone service as well. g I hope some of this helps you. It sure does Charlie. Will go right ahead and order the service.
