Re: [Scottish] Anybody want an HP Deskjet 500 printer?

2003-06-13 Thread Ben Thorp

If you don't have a printer that works in Linux, then your needs are
greater than mine, as I do.

Hallo : -

I've never had a ps printer yet so if it's one of those i.e.
should work in Linux I'd be interested and could collect Friday
or whenever and store in Woodlands where Ben could come and
convince me his need is greater than mine.  email or 'phone 554
5582 as early in the day as suits you (best) or 332 0648 as the afternoon
proceeds.

Thanks,

Pat

 I have an old HP Deskjet 500 printer that I no longer require.
 Would anybody like it?

 It's in perfect working order although, as you would expect given its
 age, it's a little slow and has a resolution of 'only' 300dpi.

 I'm in the Woodlands area of Glasgow and if you'd like it, you'd have to
 pick it up from me as I don't have any transport.

 If there are no takers, it's going out with the rubbish..

It's not AFAIK postscript, but they do work under Linux.  HP is pretty
good at that.  APSFilter is perfectly OK with DeskJet 500s. 
Incidentally, I have an old DeskJet 500 as well, which I've never
actually used.  Don't know if it works or not.  You (or indeed anyone
else) is welcome to take that away as well.

Cheers,
  Gordon

[Scottish] button

2003-06-13 Thread Huard, Elise - D CW Consultant
Hi,

on my home system, when linux is booted, when i press the button on either
of my CD/DVD drives, it doesn't react (doesn't open, anyway).
I wondered if a tweak was possible so that the button
1. unmounts the filesystem, whatever it may be
2. opens the wee drawer
maybe one of you has done it ?

Thanks,

Hi Elise,

have you tried using the  'eject' command.

If you have only 1 cd drive just typing

eject

should work. To get to my second cd/dvd drive, I use

eject /mnt/cdrom1

cheers

Lawrence

 Lawrence,
 
 i've known that command for a couple of years, or i would be in trouble :-)
 No, just curious, without any pressing need - actually i was trying to talk
 someone into using Linux, but this button matter rather turned him off
 (you've got to actually open a terminal and type something, instead of just
 pressing the button)
 

IIRC some of the desktops stick a CD icon on, that you can right-click
and eject the CD from the menu.  I think it may be possible to trap the
button press somehow.
