However, the behavior of Firefox in resolving URL's is still strange! If I click on a link, firefox spends almost a full minute to resolve the url, so while it is waiting (spinning), I use the gnome terminal to nslookup whatever-domain-it-was.com and it resolves it in less than a second. I look at firefox, and it is still trying to resolve!! Firefox seems to use some other way to resolve the url's domain - the painfully slow way!! Firefox has no config means of telling it how to resolve - so I'm at a loss as to it's behavior.

However, while fooling with it this evening, I went thru all the suggested printer drivers that come up when I choose Brother HL2060 as the printer model (it's not a 2060, it's a 2070N, but that's the closest one by model name/number, so I used it because I've used it successfully before on earlier Fedora versions.) I suppose the issues I'll report below could simply be because the printer I've got isn't quite the one I told it I had... Tonight, ALL of them "work", for values of "work", except the one labeled "Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/Postscript [en]" which prints a couple hundred pages of blank paper in place of the cups test page. all the rest of them work fairly well, though I think the best one is "Brother HL-2060 Foomatic/hl1250 [en]", as it actually supports all the resolutions the 2070 provides. Of the remaining ones that print, some produce noticeably crisper type than some of the others, the lj4dith, lj5gray, ljet4, and pxlmono all produce good crisp looking type. note that the only graphics I saw were the grayscale images on the CUPS test page, so I can't really speak to their graphics performance.

It seems that HP and Xerox printers only work with a PCL file. If it's in a different folder, maybe it would be good to copy it across to this so cups finds it automatically... I had to put it in there as cups would not find it in other places. Others would be able to advise on the pro's and cons of this part. To copy it across you will need to do it as sudo cp file/to/copy/name.ppd file/to put/here/ otherwise you will get access denied error. In --add a LPT #1 printer The next dialog will show a number of selections. I find that this dialog does not show up in other selections, only LPT #1 At the top will be: --Select printer from database --Provide PPD file --Search for a printer driver to download Choose Provide PPD file and in the next dialog type /usr/share/cups/model or what ever the correct path was that you locate[d] earlier. Follow the prompts 2 or 3 dialogs later you will have one that allows you to enter the name and description of your printer as you wish it to display in the Printer choices dialogs when you want to print a document. Alter only the Printer Name and Printer Description -- not the Location Authenticate with your root password and the printer will show up in the Printer Configuration Dialog. Next is the important part Double Click on the printer icon and a dialog will show the Description, Location and Device URI. The Device URI should now show usb://Your/Printer/Connection/Details -- (I dont know what else to call the info in that field) In the info below that field Make and Model-- it should show your printer., on mine it shows "HP Color Laserjet Series PCL 6 CUPS" But I have a Fuji Xerox C2100, this indicates my FXC2100 as having HP Laserjet internals. In the remaining selections you may be able to change Settings Policies Access Control and a number of other things. I could not make any changes here as it wrecked the setup and I had to do the above all from the beginning and delete the original printer. You can configure as many printers as you like in different ways and choose the one that works best for you then delete the others. Deleting is as simple as click on the printer icon and right click and choose Delete Printer from the drop down.

I sometimes backup some data files to dual layer DVD using k3b. On fedora 13, I notice that k3b seems to try and use wodim by default to do this. On previous versions it used growisofs. After burning a few coasters and doing much google searching, I finally noticed the option in the burn dialog for selecting the app to use, told it to use growisofs, and it burned the dual layer DVD with no problem using the same media wodim always failed on after writing about 1 gig.

USB Printer Problem (still...)
I haven't made any progress on getting my Xerox 6130 printer to work with F13. It's a fully updated F13 system on a Dell Dimension Desktop. The device manager see the Xerox printer on one of the usb ports and Fedora seems to have a driver for the printer, but the Add Printer process does not seem to recognize that the printer is there. Is there any way to determine the correct URI for the printer on the usb port? If so, I could manually configure the printer. The device manager does not give the URI for the thing, but it does see it as a Xerox 6130N printer.

If i do NOT activate / configure the DNA plugin, then i can manipulate posixGroup-related entries as expected. As soon as the plugin is activated and configured, the error noted above occurs. I followed (and *cough* wrote) this document exactly : http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:DNA [r...@test-dma-36 dirsrv]# /usr/lib64/mozldap/ldapsearch -h localhost -p 389 -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" | grep vendorVersion vendorVersion: 389-Directory/1.2.5 B2010.012.2034 [r...@test-dma-36 dirsrv]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.4 (Final) [r...@test-dma-36 dirsrv]# uname -s -r -v -i -o Linux 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 17 11:30:06 EDT 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux It would seem that this is either a fault in the configuration of the plugin, or a bug with the plugin itself.

If you have jobs in the queue, and there is some problem with one of the filters, each time you enable it the next job will fail and cause it to become disabled. The way around that is to clear out *all* the jobs in the queue. Cancel them all. After that, running the troubleshooter should get you enough information to report a bug. I know that you now have your printer working, but I'd be very grateful if you could re-visit this and have another go at getting troubleshooting information about this problem.

One (possibly) related data point: I had NO trouble making my brother HL2070N at home work with F10, F11, or F12. However on F13 I had to mess with it quite a lot. (NOTE that my Brother printer is NOT one of those automatically set up by the new features in system-config-printer, so it still required some manual setup.) I've always configured it as an IPP printer: ipp://printer-ip-address/ipp and it has worked out of the box with the "recommended" driver that system-config-printer suggests. however on F13 I couldn't make it work that way. the job would be put in the queue and there it would sit. I'd find the printer disabled, re-enable it and it would be disabled again. try the print troubleshooter and after entering the root password twice and clicking a few times it would tell me that the problem is because the printer was disabled. re-enable it and it just gets disabled AGAIN. I tried using the same configuration with every driver listed by the printer setup app and none of them worked. however when I blew away the configuration (delete the printer) and started from scratch and chose the foomatic/hl1250 driver (still using IPP as described above) then it would work. I wasted a lot of time on it, but even after trying to write down every step so I could Bugzilla it, I didn't feel I had enough evidence to point to any culprit so I didn't. But the bottom line is: on F13 it appears to be sensitive to the sequence in which you try different print drivers, or perhaps some other bizarre co-dependency between settings that makes it fail or not depending on how you were holding your tongue when you clicked OK. :) To the OP: you may want to delete the printer configuration and start afresh with the Brother PPD file and see if that gets you anywhere. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - The Lord is like a strong tower.

After all, preupgrade is something you run at most every release, and stopping it in the middle is not the usual use case, so "better safe than sorry," it starts over. I guess that putting time into recovery code was not efficient use of developer time, and as long as it produces a proper upgrade when interrupted, the unlikely restart case wasn't handled. As opposed to handled badly, which you really don't want. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
