Interesting site!

Nick, thank you once again. I'm not accustomed to getting advice from a
lawyer at a weekend - for free. ;<}
During one of many reboots of my wife's machine (sorry if this offends
anyone on the list, but with my Windows background, I still fall in the
habit of rebooting to try to solve a problem)
Thank you for the tip re su -. Trying to sort out one problem I find I
learn all kinds of things applicable to other problems (now if I could
only remember some of them...).
The cups config files are identical on my machine (where it works
flawlessly) and hers (where it doesn't).
I've managed to
Thank you, Mike, Nick.
I've managed to telnet to the offending machine on port 631 both from
its own console and from the other PC on the network. But I don't know
what to do next.
I'll look at the logs as you suggest, tomorrow. At this time of the
evening I'm dangerous.

Thanks for the quick replies, Chris, Nick.
1. CUPS is running (/etc/init.d/lpd stop [if I've had LPRng running];
/etc/init.d/cups start; service cups status).
2. I get the same results when trying to print from a terminal window or
an application either as a regular user or as root.
3. I run an ip
I'm baffled by the way cups is (mis)behaving on my wife's system.

a few nights ago everything was fine; indeed both of us used the

Yes, I'm running RH 7.3 - so you mean to say the offending config file
was limited to RH 7.3? (groan) I got iscan from the EpsonKowa Web

Welcome Jaco
I had a devil of a time getting my Epson scanner (Perfection 2450) to
work. Turns out there was a misprint in the configuration file as
supplied with my distro.

If I understand correctly that you're creating the .pdf file with the
offending Windows program, then Adobe Acrobat Reader can print odd (or
even) pages only from that file. (I'm using Acrobat Reader for Linux
but I'm sure the Win version is equally capable.) I know that's not a

Peter, it sounds as if someone will take them (most recent message from

I was down at the main branch of our municipal library earlier today,

Talk about a shocking cock-up...
Thank you to all for the quick responses.
Investigating the Ni500 further, it appears to be a particularly stupid
router which implements NAT and can't be pinholed. OK for my purposes.
This is the third modem that I've bought from this retailer (who is an

May I pick the brains of the network and CUPS experts of the group?
I've just set up a network for our two PCs at home. Plugged into the
switch are our DSL modem (192.168.7.1), my PC (192.168.7.2) and
She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed's PC (192.168.7.3). We're both running dual-boot

Nokia M1122 was the Telecom rental ADSL modem back when Telecom rented
modems. They were recalled for a safety issue with the power connector
but, I understand, were otherwise reliable.
It's now well over a year that Nokia no longer manufacture and sell
modems, though. When I shifted my Nokia Ni
I'm not sure. (How do you define 'proprietary' in this situation? I
don't know of any mirror site so perhaps it is in some sense
proprietary, although the download was free.) I tried again to visit
the Epson Kowa site to review the descriptions and legal notices but
still can't get there.

Mike, try following the instructions on the following page:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/garryknight/linux/oodict.html
by Garry Knight. You'll want the en_GB dictionary and hyph_en_GB
hyphenation dictionary (as yet there is no British thesaurus for
OO.org). Garry's instructions are very clear.
