Hello all,
I'd like to know if there is a way to set the quantity of ink used when I
print a page. I can see a little excess of ink on the paper, it comes out a
little bit wet. It doesn't happen when I print using Window$.
I am using CUPS, Foomatic + hpijs, 300dpi, color, color & black cartr., p

Well, tar will do it for you:
tar xvf /dev/st0 filespec
filespec can be a wildcard selection, or a directory name, just like

Well guys I understand a lot more about tape drives
now than I did 3 days ago.
A pity more of the people who think MS means computing
don't see how much more there is to it than re-installing
screwed up DLL's, VXD's etc.
I feel sure the great slew of ideas from just this one thread
would open
Try flexbackup

That won't work, sorry. Tapes don't have filesystems, and if you just
want to back up starting from /home/mdw* just do:
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home/md*

You don't have to. It's done by the tape hardware itself, just like a
regular audio/video tape.

I'm not a big fan of using compression on the tapes, and I really haven't
tried it

Fundamentally, one would not try to tar to /dev/st0/home/whatever.
The tape doesn't have a filesystem. to the OP - just use /dev/st0. You
aren't going to be able to access the tape as a disk, so don't try to
do so

No worries!
Tar will blindly write over anything that's already on the tape. So you

I don't think that will work. If you did that, tar would be looking for a
file:
/dev/st0/home/
And that wouldn't exist. He
