Re: [newbie] Understanding Program Locations
Thanks for those URLs. They R great. We need more info like this to be able to learn more about Linux Traumax - Original Message - From: "Tom Brinkman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 17 December 2000 7:03 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Understanding Program Locations On Saturday 16 December 2000 08:25 am, Carson Christian wrote: Hello All. I've just installed system 7.2 yesterday. I'm completely new to linux, and this is my first shot at it. As A long time windows user, I am finding myself very confused by the way linux handles application storage. I would like it if someone could explain a few things to me. The best way to become a Linux user is to expend some effort on your own part before asking for assistance. Actually most of this investigation should be done before you install Linux. Linux like many OS's has a steep learning curve. The more effort you put into educating yourself in the beginning, the shorter and less steep is the learning process. If you're like most of us it'll all seem like Chinese arithmetic at first. Just keep reading, you'll be surprised at how fast it'll start comin together. At this point tho, you might wanna try click'n on your main menu, Documentation | Mandrake Doc and read everything there. If you want further clarification, go thru the entire site at http://mandrakeuser.org/ There's many other sites on the Net that provide specific Linux help and docs, Google is prob'ly your best friend here. Then if you want to query the mailing list(s), first search the archives at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3 to see if your questions are common ones that've already been answered. You'll get quicker answers that way. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

I am using RedHat7, but I tried figuring it out on my Mandrake machine using the file from linuxprinting.org, but I had no clue how to do it. If anyone has any guidance, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Justin With linux-mandrake 7.2 the CUPS system has a driver foir the 722C adapted from the pnm2ppa driver. That "ppa" is processor performance architecture, which means the duties carried out by a "real" printer are instead done by your processor. In other words, it is the printer equivalent of a winmodem, and HP has never released any specs on it that would be useful for writing an open-source driver, nor do they have a driver supporting linux. pnm2ppa is a reverse-engineered driver which does most of the things you would expect from a printer, but may not have some of the features (yet) that you have come to expect from this printer in windows. http://ww.linuxprinting.org/database.html is the place to look for printers and drivers Civileme Linuxprinting.org results in "unknown host" traumax
