[newbie] Printer newbie help!
Hi, I am not so much a Linux newbie, but a printer newbie! I have a Epson Stylus Color 740 connected to my parallel port, and I tried setting it up on installation, and couldnt get it to print either of the example pages. Are there any issues I should be aware of with this? Any advice? I also have an Epson Kyocera FS-600 with a little network box attached to my network. I have had it working great once under RedHat 5.2 a long time ago, I kept the filters and scripts and used them in Slackware for a while, but lost them a couple of months ago Basically it works as a HP LaserJet 5P, but via an IP address instead of the serial port. I don't have a clue how to set this up, I also tried this on setup, but it kept asking for a remote print queue, and I am not too sure if it even has one! Any help at all welcome! Once I can print OK, I can get rid of Windows once and for all!

Re: [newbie] What's the difference between Mandrake 7.0 Powerpackand Mandrake 7.0 Deluxe???
Hi again, > How is the PowerPack or Deluxe Mandrake 7.0 behaving? What are your > thoughts? Rock solid. This is the first time I decided to install an "easy" Linux distro, I normally use Slackware, but I decided that I really need the RPM support. The only problem I had is that it messed up my partition table, I have 4Gb Extended partition containing all my Linux partitions as /dev/hda1 - containing, /dev/hda5,6,7, and 8 for Linux, then 10Gb for Windows on /dev/hda2, then 2Gb for BeOS on /dev/hda3. For some reason if I just had /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3 on my hard disk, with the spare space where the extended partiton would be, the installer overlapped the extended partition and my Be partition, rendering both Be and Linux unbootable. I just deleted the extended partition and it restored my Be partiton, then I created the extended partition manually with a Slack boot disk, and did a autoallocate inside that, and it all worked. Probably too much info there but, hey you asked!
