Hi all,
For a couple of years now I've been using a small APS brand
printer that connects via serial port. In order to support this
printer, there is a binary executable (i have GPL sources as
well) that gets installed at /usr/lib/cups/backend/aps as will
as a Postscript Printer Description (PPD)

So, my question is, can a printer that only requires a PPD file
give me feedback like presence, paper status etc or do I need

addy just changed.)
Hi, I have my first program to publish, and would like a little feedback.
zchroot is a bash script to work with encrypted chroot-in-a-file chroots.

It is 551 lines, zenlib.sh is 157, and zchroot.conf is 66 lines.
Maybe upload it somewhere and post a URL ?

OK, I've Googled this one till my brain hurts and got nothing... time to
seek the higher wisdom.
I get large PDF files from publishers to index, which I do by running
them through a few bash scripts and then working with the printed

Are you sure it's not a L500? What's the exact part number.
Anyway Toshiba has a good name in laptops but they are horrible to

I've got a Toshiba P300 dual booting to Ubuntu 10.04. I've steadily
upgraded from 8.04 on it and for the most part it was fine. Did have a
glitch during 8.10 and 9.04 where it lost all network adaptors after the
upgrade but a few extra options on the kernel boot line and they returned.

I've made a mistake here.
Choice recommended a Toshiba Satellite L550 (I know, but it was sent from
work--I've had a chance to look at the article at home.)
Checked also with the Toshiba Home page--the L550 has been discontinued,
