Going slightly O/T Is there a way of setting up dedicated X-terminals using SSH? I can see security and compression benefits over conventional X-terminals. Has anyone given it a try? Aaron -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July

Well I'm definitely not a programming guru - not even close. I did notice that you posted earlier on this - I'm running on memory here but I think the sample you placed with your first post included remarks about KPrinter. In your current post there are a few remarks like no matching function

I've tried this, but failed. Apparently for this to wrok you need ot install two versions of X, one patched so that it accpets input from USB k/board only. There is a link to a How-to type document on the mandrake forum somewhere. It is quite a bit of work to get going, and there's no

I'm running Mandrake 7.2, and have just tried upgrading XFree to 4.0.3 and KDE to 2.1.1. The packages I used for the upgrade come from APCmags Advanced Linux Pocketbook (any Australians or New Zealanders on the list may have seen this about). I don't doubt the legitimacy of the packages -

It might be possible that the pages continuing to print are those that have already been sent to the printer. A home inkjet (Epson 660) seems to hold about half a page in its own internal memory - so if I cancel a job after it has started printing, it usually has about another half page to print

RE: [expert] stopping the cups printer

Is the problem from a print job that has gone bad? On my Epson 660, for some reason, some print jobs go haywire and the printer prints pages of rubbish. I'm not sure of the cause as there does not appear to be a pattern - though it occurs more often from KDE 2 apps with the hardwired lpd print
