hello everyone ;-)
Well this is a multiple question post. It's a YaPP (Yet antother printer
problem:)
It seems that quite a few people are having problems with their printers and
SUSE when using Kernel 2.2.x. I'm one of those people.
I've been scouring the mailing lists trying to find the answer but with no
success.
I was wondering about the following post. Checking my conf.modules I find that
I do have the entries that he speaks of. Am I to chage it?

When I check the status of my printer it keeps telling me that it's idle or
that it's offline? It doesn't matter if I am root or not... the results are
always the same.
Can someone point me to some info on this? Please :-)
I have no problems when using the good old K-2.0.36 (except that my sound card
isn't supported in the kernel):
Another question.... I was having problems with rc.d when I first upgraded to
6.0. I kept getting a screenful of errorson boot up about modprobe not being
able to find certain modules... kinda like this:
modprobe: can't locate module blah blah blah
modprobe: can't locate module blah blah blah
modprobe: can't locate module blah blah blah
I have since fixed this using a hack from C Johnson (the serial hack).
I want to know if this has been (or will be) fixed in 6.1?
I also would like to know if I buy 6.1 will SuSE actually give me support this
time? The last version I bought was 5.2 and I never received any help from SuSE at
all. I never even recieved a confirmation that they got my registration (I even
registered it twice after receiving no confirmation the first time). Luckily I
never had any major problems. Check your mail logs SuSE!
Oh yeah.. one last question. Does anyone know what it means when I keep getting
DMA messages in /var /log/messages like this:
Apr 18 13:21:01 rimez kernel: es1371: dma timed out??
Apr 18 13:25:33 rimez kernel: es1371: dma timed out??
I don't understand... everyting seems to be working OK.
TIA,
rimez
