OO and SO
by Paul Taylor 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Hi all: Does anyone have any material (worksheets, SOW) they have tested and approved for use with SO or OOo that would be suitable for GCSE/AS/AVCE they would be willing to share? I am going to start using it in my new job in January but could do with some material to buy me some development time. Paul

Any equivalent of "talking first word"?
by M. Blackmore 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

This MS product wows the kids (talks to them as they type - we're talking 5 year olds here...) and I was wondering if there is any open source equivalent that could be used - preferably with a linux system (but windows if it has to be <spit>). Or much lower cost.

CUPS printing for newer printing
by D Garside 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

Hi, I use suse 7.2 as CUPS based printer servers. My version of CUPS does not recognise my new colour printer (Epson C62). I do not want to compile and install a newer version of CUPS (not enough resources on box - major hassle). Is there any easy way to make CUPS recognise my printer? So far I have ocnfigured CUPS using YAST2. I have tried editing the cupsd.conf file in /etc/cups. This seemed to work in that from windows I could 'see' the network printer and idstall the drivers from the manufacturer but when I tried to print nothing would come out of the printer. My laser running on lp0 works fine but lp1 does not print anything. Many thanks Darren Garside Freshford Primary School
