Re: [PLUG] Communicating with USB-enabled Color LaserJet 2550L
On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 5:00 PM, Rich Shepard rshep...@appl-ecosys.comwrote: My HP Color LaserJet 2550L needed a new imaging drum which the Portland Printer Place sold me and then installed it. Now I'm trying to use the printer but cannot seem to communicate with it. According to the CUPS Web interface, it's configured as: Description:Color LaserJet 2550L Location: office Driver: HP Color LaserJet 2550 Series Postscript (recommended) (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: lpd://salmo/var/spool/cups Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided When I try to print a test page it asks for a user and password, and says the system wants CUPS as the user. There is no such user in /etc/passwd, and it won't take 'root' and its password. The printer prints a self-test page. The 'ready light' displays a steady green, but the Go light (with the Go button) stays dark. The printer does have a local IP address: 192.168.55.194, but it's not on an Ethernet cable to a JetDirect card. I'd like some suggestions for testing the situation to figure out where it's stuck. Has this ever worked? Did this work previously in its current configuration? If so, you likely don't have a CUPS problem, but a USB problem - let's see your dmesg and lsusb output. Assuming this is a new setup: note the line: Connection: lpd://salmo/var/spool/cups this doesn't make any sense. CUPS appears to be trying to print to itself. Hence, the password prompt. If it's connected via USB, (plugged in to a USB port on salmo, I hope), the line should show the location of the printing device. something like /dev/usblp0 or similar. CUPS does try to auto-detect USB printers - if you click Add Printer, is it listed? In my experience, USB is a less than ideal method to communicate with a printer. I much prefer Ethernet whenever possible. One other note: a quick search of my distro's package repository shows this: printconf - automatically configures USB and parallel printers with CUPS Perhaps yours has something similar available? -wes ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

[PLUG] [OT] Problems in the ReactOS community...
Windows, especially NT based Windows, is beyond the scope of Freedos.
Unfortunately, there have been suggestions to look at the ReactOS
project. I think this transcript which needs to get out despite the
rules details why the ReactOS project is a disaster that needs to be
cleaned up. Anyone can work on an OSS project. Keyword here is anyone.
Please, someone go ahead and get the code, form another community, and
continue development if this project is still
worthwhile.
Supposedly, Linux+WINE is not a better way to go, but the way things are
going in the ReactOS community, I'd have to say that it is a better way
to go.
Is there a way I can complain about the reactos.org site and get them
sanctioned? Taking the site down would be a good way to adjust
attitudes in that community.
Here is a transcript showing how bad ReactOS IRC has gotten:

[PLUG] Windows or stick with Linux compatible...
hardware and software? There is a thread about a USB printer not working right under Linux and other hardware threads pop up now and then. What tools are available to improve this situation long term? Some people say ReactOS is the answer, but as my transcript from ReactOS IRC shows, that is a very nasty community. ReactOS is over 12 years old and still way behind. They are pursuing a moving target where they may have to make a bad decision now and then to remain compatible. Syllable on the other hand is younger where there is no moving target per se and hey, Syllable server is based on Linux. I've played around with Syllable under VirtualBox and I have to say that it is impressive. If fewer people decide that they want Windows, there will be less of a need for a Windows clone. Software companies who don't support Linux, Syllable, Freedos, etcetera will lose. I think the best bet with a hardware device that won't work in Linux is to recycle it and replace with something that will. I would like to see some sanction imposed on the current ReactOS developers to bring them back down to the Earth. Barring that, I would like to see a new community form with it's own web site and a different non profit foundation supporting it. There used to be more than one attempt to make a free Windows clone, but the ReactOS project is the only one that exists today. Why is that? Some people claim that 3d video acceleration is a problem in Linux and that Linux is slower than Windows. Well, maybe some cards from AMD don't accelerate easily, but NVIDIA's offerings seem to be a different story. I have an Athlon 635 quad core system where the Radeon HD5450 has been taken out because it doesn't work well in Fedora 15. I'm looking for a replacement video card. One of the beauties of Linux, there is more than one source. With ReactOS, there is only one source and in my case this isn't a friendly source. The ReactOS community currently enjoys a monopoly over the category of open source Windows NT clone. Maybe this should be rectified. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I can't complain on their forums, I am being threatened with imprisonment if I ever get on the ReactOS forums or ReactOS IRC chat again. I don't know German law, so I don't know how realistic the threats are. This is not completely off topic because Linux is essentially OSS software and thus could, but hasn't fortunately, succumb to the same kinds of issues. Fortunately in the Linux world, there are hundreds of distributions and even more user groups. This is OT, but it is also germane because this is a functional open source software community where the ReactOS community is not. I'm only advocating for someone to download the source and form a new group to develop it further that is completely detached from the original.
