[newbie] HP Officejet K60 Printer?
Hello All! I recently installed Mandrake 9.1 on my elderly Gateway Solo 2500 laptop. Kudos to Mandrake for putting together such a simple-to-install distro. X and its associated parts installed flawlessly, OPenOffice.org also, along with my orinoco silver wi-fi card. It's a far cry from the first time I installed Slackware back in about 1993 or so... Anyhow, I'm curious to know if anybody has managed to get an HP Officejet K60 printer up and running at anything better than 300X300 resolution. I'm using the default installation of CUPS with the default HP Deskjet 9X driver (per the CUPS documentation and the info on sourceforge). Is there a better driver out there? To complicate matters, the printer is hanging off of a US Robotics 8022 wireless router, using the built-in USR print server. I don't think the server is the problem, because it prints OK at 300X300, but doesn't look as crisp as at 600X600 from my wintel box. Suggestions? Questions about the US Robotics print server? -Joe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

That is part of the problem. I get no messages in konsole and all that
happens is xmms locks up but not the computer. I can kill the process and
still have an active desktop. It just never loads any files in to xmms. If
I choose the +dir or the filefolder and select all, I still get a lock on
xmms. ??? If I play a regular audio cd like Phill Collins Hello I must be

me nuts.
Can you play mp3s using Grip, Kaboodle, or Noatun?

Making the change in Mandrake Control center let Kasper the friendly dragon (does He have an official name?) come back, as well as stopping the automatic login. I never thought to go beyond the KDE control center. Thanks also for the tips regarding reinstaling. I am mostly ignorant of the ins and outs of HD partitions, but will do some reading and keep your advice in mind. I was planning on doing this anyway, as I was going to see if I could 'borrow' a copy of windo$ and install it on another partition (I only have one HD) in my further attempts at coaxing non-static sound out of my sound card. To answer your questions. I have a SBLive! mp3+ 5.1. When I first bought the computer, I thought that since I could play my CDs, everything was A-OK, but when I tries to play an mp3 once, my illusions were sorely shattered. I've tried changing permissions, drivers, arts/noarts(I guess arts is a KDE thing, and I really prefer KDE, but Gnome is no better). The closest thing to sound that I can get out of the card is louder static when I play a file (it is so frustrating to see the EQ levels dancing while I listen to hiss). As soon as I unmute the PCM slider, I open myself up to the possibility of a static attack (it doesn't seem to be predictable when it will come); moving the PCM slider makes a noise like an electronic version of corduroy pants; turning arts off seems to kill the noise as well. If there were one thing that I have read about but haven't tried, its using ALSA in OSS emulation. I have no idea what that is, or how one goes about doing it. That is really besides the point, I'll work on it slowly but surely and success will be all the sweeter. Thank you again. Jim, Do you have a cable between your cdrom drive and your sound card?? What you describe above seems to indicate that you may not. It's usually a skinny cable with a flat 4-pin connector at one end which fits to the flatish socket 4-pin connector toward one side at the rear of the cdrom drive. The other end will connect to some kind of header socket on the sound card - I'm not familiar with your card so can't help much there. Worth a look?

If so, if you create a different user and log in as that user, do you still have the problems you refer to in your post? Very often, configuration files change between releases and the old configuration files in your home directory don't work properly in the new version. If the new user works correctly, you can try deleting the .kde folder in your home directory and logout and back in to kde (note, if you do so, you will lose all of your kde customizations you have done). With the .kde directory gone, kde will recreate the configuration files. When upgrading from one version to the next, my normal procedure is to rename my home directories to something else (like /home/mydir.old) then do an install instead of an upgrade (don't let the installer format / if home is on the / partition instead of a separate /home partition). In the installer, I recreate the users and then after the install is complete, I move back from the original directories, the files I want to keep (i.e. documents, emails, etc.). The downside to this method is that you lose any customizations that you have done to the windows manager (i.e. wallpapers, themes, etc.) Enough of all of that, in terms of your sound card problems, what type of sound card is it and does/did it work under 9.0? Also, to turn off the auto login at boot, you goto the Mandrake Control Center, select the Boot icon and select DrakBoot. Make sure to check the selection that says No, I don't want autologin at the bottom of the screen. If your MCC comes up like mine, you need to enlarge the window to see the OK and Cancel buttons, they don't show normally, but if you don't enlarge the window and hit one of them, you get a message about changes not being saved and they aren't. Hit OK to save the change. Hope that helps, Joeb Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

For instance, on my keyboard, if I use Rt-Alt+4 I get ¤, but if I use left-Alt + 4 I get nothing at all. IIUC, the right Alt, Alt Gr is used to construct accented characters etc. in locales that require it. In my (UK) locale it produces different characters, but not accents. I think that's because the EN character set doesn't have them in the first set (the second half of the set is not normally accessed). I don't know anything about using more than one character set, but some here do that. If you need it they can probably point you at the answer. Meanwhile, if you only need it occasionally, and in word processed documents, KWord can accept the Alt-numberpad characters from the extended set.
