[newbie] Printers
Hi all I have a funny thing going on with my two lexmark laser printers in the office. My mdk9.2 box always alternates output to the two printers. This has been fun for everyone looking for my print jobs up 'til now, but one of the machines is down for maint today, turned off, and the print jobs are still alternating between the two printers. Printers are both shares on mdk9.2 boxes on the lan. Here is the localhost 631 history for the last two jobs. -9 was waiting for the printer before I cancelled it.

Re: [newbie] Printers
is this a result of pooling? Can you simply tell it NOT to pool the printers? Seems to me I've read/heard something about that pooling will send it to whichever is next. This reminds me of DNS servers. Which alternate which one gets the request. I have no idea how to fix this, but these are the thoughts that ran through my head when I heard this. Good Luck Troy T.

Re: [newbie] Printers-Epson
Hiya, back to this topic. 1 Week ago I bought an Epson Stylus C80. According to the www.linuxprinting.org this is a very good buy. So I have it, but I cannot get it to work :-( Whether it's me or what I don't know. I tried so many things, after inserting their driver for the C80, and eventually someone said to me that I had to install the latest gimp-print. I did this but the damage was already done. CUPS seems extremely messed up, and when running printerdrake now it just hangs for about 5 minutes, and finally when I get through to the configure printer screen, things do not work. Has anyone here else (running Mandrake) go a C80, and if so, how did you get it to work? I know it does work, as users running Debian and Redhat have told me, but maybe it's Mandrake (don't think so), or just my CUPS. I tried uninstalling CUPS and deleting all config files created by it, but this didn't help. It just hangs. I am thinking about reinstalling Mandrake, but then at least I should know what to do beforehand. I would appreciate any ideas / info you guys could offer :-) Thanks in advance Ralph Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Printers-Epson
Dear All, I still have not been able to get any printing going for my Epson Stylus color in LM 8.1. I have decided to get a new printer, probably an Epson. I am looking at so many different ones but if any one of you have a new Epson that works great with LM 8.1 would you let me know? Is there a noticeable difference between the Epson C80 and Epson Photo 780 for color quality especially concerning photos? Is there a difference in text quality and appearance between the two? I want a printer that I can do ink refills myself, also. Any suggestions including a different printer brand is welcome. I do not want to go through what I have been going through again trying to get my printer to work. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Printers-Epson
Marcia, I have the Epson Stylus Color 880 and am running Mandrake 8.1. The printer is connected to a Windows box, and printing through CUPS, works flawlessly. I also have Mandrake 7.2 installed on this computer and the Epson works equally well also, again on a Windows box printing through CUPS. -- Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User #175132 Powered by Linux Mandrake 8.1!

[newbie] printers again
looking for many opinions on printers ones that work perfectly with 7.2 all responses are greatly appreciated
Re: [newbie] printers again
You might get better responses if you said what your requirements are first. Office? Colour? High volume? Cost? For starters, any Postscript printer can be made to work perfectly with any Linux flavour. More and more non-Postscript printers are being well supported as well. In Linux-Mandrake that support is primarily through the use of CUPS. Check this site for details: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/hardware/hcups0.html Actually, it's not responding today for some reason, but keep checking the URL. Lots of good info here. M.

[newbie] Printers
Someone was asking yesterday about printers for Linux - sorry, already deleted that message. Anyway, there was a discussion about that last week, and the people using Epson printers were pretty happy with their products. Being in the market for a new one myself, I took their advice and picked up an Epson Stylus Color 740 (they were saying that the Photo700 was great). I am VERY PLEASED with it! It is much better than my old printer was (hp600). The basic rule that the newbies repeatedly mention is that the hp7xx printers are "winprinters" and will not work. As I was looking at printers, the "Linux specialist" at the store said practically all Epsons are supported. I had to download a driver for the 740, and it is rated as working almost perfectly. There were several printers from Epson (and other makers) listed as working perfectly.

No problems setting it up useing the Redhat printtool kindly supplied in the mandrake distribution and color/graphics work fine. It is true that "photoquality" is a bit rough, but then it is just as bad in windoze but basicly it works just as well through Linux as it does in windoze. Just giving my 3 cents worth :-) Cheers: Mike Perry.

I have a HP officejet 500 hooked to my computer. I can get it to print by opening klpq and dragging the text icon of the text I want printed to the open klpq program. This is rather cumbersome. The new mandrake 6.0 has a printer icon on the desktop that I should be able to drag/drop the text icon to. However, it doesn't work for me. I checked out the properties and see the executable for this icon is lpr. The lpr command does not seem to work on my computer. Is there a way to correct this or a way around this ?

RE: [newbie] Printers and Scanners
Go to http://lcewww.et.tudelft.nl/~haver/linux/epson.html and set up your printer like it says. You should be able to print color then also. Worked great for mine. A side note: I've noticed that this printer has a built in 'sleep' feature, and if I reboot from NT to Mandrake I sometimes have to turn the printer off and then back on to wake it up or else it won't print. Ever noticed that? Ty C.
