I tried something like the same when I bought my Lexmark Z53,and after much effort I did get it going, but the OEM linux driver never performed at all well with the printer.

So as long as you put up with high, or even higher resolution the printout is reasonably good , except that kde's printer control gui doesn't seem to work well with the actual printer setting, that is the hue, saturation, etc etc. It never has, but I'm sure that is a kde problem not cups. I guess it needs a Cl approach to reset the controls to hone down the setting to perfection.Haven't got down to figuring that out.

It is posible to cheat, and create a binary-only RPM, but I think it is worth the effort to learn to create your own RPMs. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Re: [newbie] Wine 20040213
Hi, I'm still getting up to speed with Wine, so I can't help with the first one, but I had this error too (static glibc req'd). I went to the Configuration Package Manager thing (I think that is what it is called) and chose Install software. From there I typed glibc in the search line and also I listed the packages by update availability (I think that's what it was). It did a search and produced an Addable category; in there I was able to identify the static glibc libraries. After installing that I was able to compile/configure/install Wine. NB: After a conversation on the Wine IRC channel I found out that, contrary to the advice in the Wine User Guide, that RPMs are reliable (well, at least those from the official winehq.com site) and so I didn't really need to go the the 2+ hour compile road... So you might consider grabbing the 06152004 version from the website- it is the latest. NB: the graphical configure tool included only works up to the version before 06152004, but you might not need it anyway, esp. if you are doing a 'no windows' install.

For example, if you set search mydomain.com, then when you type mypc in a browser, it will actually look for mypc.mydomain.com If you don't have a local domain, you don't need to specify the search... line in /etc/resolv.conf Your problem seems to be in the name server 192.168.0.1 Ok any ideas what I can do about it. Apparantly that was installed by 'sbcglobal.com' at least I suppose it was. Normally, (I think) you would insert the DNS numbers of your ISP's nameserver here: Which will be something like: 209.184.203.7 and 204.107.19.17 which O got from a lookup on WHOIS. Cheers John Ok I'll try that. No luck whois not installed. Isnt that for only local use. That is it would tell me who was logged on to my domaine, well I know that its me. I did find a whois web site but didnt get any results since I dont know what my ISP's name is unless its 'sbcglobal.net' which it probably is.

SMB is the protocol for providing windows type shares to the network on a Linux machine. The smb service is not necessary to access windows shares, just to create them, so if you have none, you don't need it. NMB is a related service that provides name info for the windows network. They go together. SMB will not work properly without NMB and NMB is useless without SMB.
