greets.

a couple of little peculiarities in 8.2 here, both affecting things i 
need fairly regularly; i hope somebody here has figured out what i 
may have missed.

the first is the opera browser. i installed the one which came with 
8.2, and it worked but looked awful, in that it did not inherit 
anti-aliasing for some reason. i upgraded to 6.12 shared, which when 
it worked looked just great -- but it seldom would start, usually 
segfaulting on the last line of the opera script. i tried 6.12 
static, which just plain looked *weird,* with a combination of 
anti-aliased and jagged typefaces. i reverted to the shared 6.03, 
which decided not to run at all. i tried the version shipped with 8.2 
again, and now *it* segfaults at start. in each case i rpm -e'd the 
old one before installing the new. all i'm trying to do here is get 
some version of opera with anti-aliasing to run reliably.

the second is my laserjet III-D. i installed it via yast, and the 
"hello, world" connection test is fine. the driver shipped, however, 
sends some data to the printer -- and then takes it offline! nothing 
is printed. it appears that there are two sets of printer drivers, 
one cups and one non-cups, with the distinction between them a little 
blurred.

any ideas?

thanks.
