I've got my HP OfficeJet 720 printer working on my WalMart Mandrake 8.2 using the CUPS HP DeskJet 550C driver, but it's only giving me 300dpi resolution. The printer supports 600dpi and at one time I thought I stumbled across a WWW based configuration tool that offered that, but now I can't fi

I connect to the internet via a 56k modem, and, of course, my ISP then assigns me an IP address. I also have a LAN. Can I (should I?) then also assign a fixed IP address for my LAN in the network setup wizard? If so, are there any rules as to what the address should be, other than nnn.nnn.nnn.
