[newbie] Question
Can I safely uninstall printpro and it's related files safely. I can't configure my printer and I believe printpro to be the culprit. When I installed LM 7.2 from a single CD, me printer was configured OK. Only when I installed the Power Pack and all the CD's, did my printer become impossible to configure. -- Jay ~May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend~ http://www.mrsnooky.com

[newbie] Printer
I am having a bitch of a time getting my printer configured. I had it configured fine under 7.2 before, the single CD installation. I liked 7.2 so much I bought the powerpack. I installed the complete set and now I cannot get my printer to configure for the life of me. I am getting ready to blow me top! It is a HP DeskJet 648C. I tried cups and probably a bunch of other stuff, but I need help. -- Jay ~May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend~ http://www.mrsnooky.com

Re: [newbie] Removing integrated soundcard
On Wednesday 11 April 2001 11:53 pm, you wrote: OK, here's the problem. I bought a Compaq Presario (I know, first mistake ;-))5834 about a year ago. Now way back then, I didn't know anything about the evils of integrated soundcards, vid cards, or anything else. By now I do, but I still am not sure what to do about this: I just bought a Soundblaster Live! Platinum 5.1, which absolutely rocks in Winbitesmyfatwhiteass, but doesn't work in Linux right now. Now, I believe theres a conflict, because when I disabled the stock integrated soundcard (with help from Compaq Tech Support), I did it from Safe Mode, not the BIOS. When I booted into Linux, Kudzu detected and configured the SB Live!, but when I look at Harddrake, I can see both the SB Live! and the old one (ESS Solo1 Audiodrive). And when Linux is booting up, I see it saying its starting sound module es1933 or something like that, which I believe is the ESS soundcard. Can anyone tell me what to do about this? Thanks! :-) I have the same problem with my soundcard. I have a Compaq Presario 2266. -- Jay ~May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend~ http://www.mrsnooky.com http://www.celtic.free

[newbie] OFF TOPIC - about the ridiculous 8.0 beta response
In this day of political correctness we always have to be wary of what and how we say it. I, for one, am NOT politically correct. I refuse to be offended by what anybody says on a mailing list and my suggestion is, if you are offended by a comment (or my signature line...remember that one) just ignore the comment or delete the offending message.
