RE: [newbie] HP Deskjet 712C

2000-04-29 Thread Cesar Octavio Delgado

You're unlucky. That printer wont work in linux, it is one of those called
WinPrinters.  You can't even print text.

Anyway, it looks like you don't have parrallel port support in the kernel.
You should compile your kernel with support for parrallel port, and maybe
parport too.  However, as I told you before, that printer is not going to
work.

During setup, I could not get my printer to respond.  It is a HP Deskjet
712C.  Any suggestions?

Try 
runing that file from DOS, not from Windows. To do that, press F8 at boot 
and select Normal Command prompt or Safe Command prompt.

Asunto: [newbie] supported hardware


Hi,

I'm soon buying a new IBM Aptiva - Athlon 800 with tons of RAM and disk.
I'll also be getting DSL (adsl, not sdsl). IBM has a network card listed as
ADSL, but no name - also, the sound card listed is an Aureal Vortex 2. I
don't see the sound card listed in supported hardware and not sure about
the ADSL card. Would you anticipate these options might give me problems ?
thx,
philomena

 Hello,
 
I've installed Linux Mandrake on my Acer Extensa 502DX laptop and
 whenever my computer boots up, it crashes whenever it arrives at the
 Advanged Power Management section of the kernel,
 I've been able to use a kernel which doesn't have apm selected and it works
 fine.. Has anybody ever had this problem before?
 
 
 PS; I have enabled Advanced Power management in my BIOS  and still same
 problem.

You should compile your own kernel.  It has some options about APM that you
should enable or disable if your computer crashed at boot time.
