Re: [newbie] CUPS Help
Thank,s I don,t know about his but mine had picked up the wrong drivers before the update and you sure helped me. JOE Tom, CUPS, in my very limited opinion, the best for easy and control in setting up an LPD printer. 1) Go into Mandrake Control Center | Hardware | Printer to set up CUPS. It may ask for CD #1 to load necessary files. 2) Click on 'Expert Mode'. I could not set-up my print server in 'Normal Mode'. 3) Click on 'Add a printer' 4) Click on 'Printer on remote lpd server' 5) Fill out printer name and description. Location can be left blank. 6) In 'Remote host name', you can either put in the IP address of the NIC in your printer, or the host name you wish to give it. Keep in mind that if you give the printer a host name (like 'xerox' or 'printer'), you will need to add an entry in /etc/hosts with the name and IP address for name resolution over the network. In the second box, you would give the specific printer's name under the server. I think that you would leave this blank. 7) Pick your printer driver. The rest is easy enough. Does this sound like what you did? If is what you did before, let me know. I am sure we can figure it out. The key is that the device is supported. What are called 'all-in-wonder' printers are those that are multi-function units. I have an HP Laserjet 3100 that must have software support to drive it. I don't use it this way, but if I did want to use it as a printer in MDK 8.2 or 9.0, there's a specific software package that comes on the distro CDs for this model. I have no idea how the others are supported, or if they are. You got it to work once before. It should now. It wouldn't hurt to make sure that 'foomatic' is also loaded on your system, and when choosing the drivers for your printer, make sure to choose one that is a combination of 'CUPS' and 'foomatic'. Does this help you any?

I have a second ethernet card connected to a router into which I plug in a Linux (LM9) laptop.

TIA Paul Wouldn't you want to enable the internet connection sharing on the initial ethernet connection to the ADSL box? If you did that, then you'd setup the linux box's ethernet connection to use DHCP - that's what I do at home here (but with a modem). The only time I had issues with that type of setup was for a customer that HAD to have specific IP addresses on their internal network - but I still set the workstation with the connection as the primary DNS server and all worked well after that... 11 09 2002 Thanks for your reply. I did some more investigating. In the original configuration (above), it appears that what is broken is DNS resolution from the Linux box. I can ping the W2K box from the Lin box, and vice versa. Moreover, I can ping internet sites as well as access them so long as I use the numerical address. Since the Linbox is using the W2K box as a gatway, it seems to me that I need to point the Linbox to do DNS resolution on the W2K box. Am I thinking correctly? Any directions would be appreciated.

I'd say go for Mandrake, but I would hazard a guess that your problems
with reinstalling Windows don't come from the CD (even though it may say
so) but from the hard disk. You need to reformat it with the most
thorough option fdisk has (I can't remember which it was - it was the
blast this disk into radioactive rubble-type option).
Honesty compelled me to offer that alternative. But given your setup
and needs, I think Linux would be a better choice in the long run. You
won't have to keep reformatting your disk, for a start!
