If you mean an "out of office autoreply" for an individual email address, I use the vacation program and procmail for my work address although I've never used the Linux version. vacation seems to do the job.

[SLUG] CUPS problem
Hi, I've installed CUPS on a Debian (sid) system. Printed a test page fine from the local system, and from a windows client via samba. I have also installed cupsys-bsd. Then I tried my first bit of proper printing, from SciTE, a text editor I'm quite fond of. First it complained that it was missing a2ps, which I obligingly installed, then it complained it was missing Netscape. Now I'm as accommodating as the next person, but some things are simply beyond the pale, so I decided I'd use another editor for printing. However, by that stage the printer had already started spitting out gibberish. I cancelled that job, killed all vestigial processes, and tried printing from another app. Same gibberish. Tried printing the CUPS test page. No better. Upped the debug level in cupsd.conf, not a whisper of complaint, as I tried again and again. Rebooted. Deleted and recreated the printer. Purged and reinstalled CUPS. No improvement. It's the exact same gibberish every time, beginning "@PJN ENTEZ NANOUAOE?PKN;" then a page feed, then short bursts of non alphanumeric junk that seems more or less random among loads of page feeds. Doesn't look at all like mangled postscript commands or anything. I've a vague feeling I've come across this before, and the solution is to delete a particular file, but I can't for the life of me come up with the right Google incantation to summon the solution. Any ideas most welcome. Matthew. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] squid authentication questions
Well, squid is running on linux! Currently we run squid-2.4 latest stable, but upgrading to 2.5 lastest stable is an option and from my reading so far this is probably needed. The current squid was compiled with --enable-auth-modules="SMB" and we have a file on NT domain controller to limit Interent to those in a particular NT group (who have read access to the file). Now a request has come in to have another nt group access to a particular dstdomain - only no internet. Can anyone fast track me to the solution?

Re: [SLUG] Recording sound currently being played
indeed.

[SLUG] Any experience with Datamax Label Printers
Hi all, I have a client who wants to use a particular label printer: a datamax-m-4206. Now, linuxprinting.org makes no mention of the manufacturer, let alone the model. I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried and succeeded (or failed) with one of these printers. Looking at the product documentation, it appears that these printers use either their own wierdo printer control language (DCL) or accept carriage return separated lines which are dropped into a predefined template. This second mode sounds like it might work just fine. Any success stories?
