[SuSE Linux] Another one with a printer prob
by sandyseeds＠iname.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hi Y'all, I feel sorta stupid throwing this out to the list considering the amount of help that's been offered here over the past 7-8 months, but..... I can't get my HP LJet 4L to work with my re-installed 5.3. Been thru SuSE's Printer Check List and, ping local host = ok ping 'hostname' = ok "lpc up all" lists ascii, lp and raw: printing enabled; daemon started "modprobe lp" (as root) produces no results that I can see in xterm updated aps filter (v1.5) installed via YaST gs installed via YaST device selected in YaST is lp1 (single pc w/1 printer; no network) (nothing happened when I set it lp0. But, no "polling" comment for lp0 either) /var/log/messages shows "kernel: lp1 @ 0X0378 (polling) and it also does not show lpd being started during bootup??? If I enter "lpd" from an xterm, /messages sez: lpd restarted tixlpq shows files in the queue, and notes the printer is "offline?" Since it's worked before with both 5.2 and 5.3 I'm stymied. No changes have been made to BIOS or hardware. Just a reformat and reinstall on Satureday.... Is there a way to check and see if I've selected the right LP#? Where do I confirm that lpd is run at bootup? Or do I?

[SuSE Linux] Deskjet 400L Help
by mezger＠usa.net.nospam 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I'm trying to get a HP Deskjet 400L to work with SuSE 5.3 and have a few questions. I wasn't sure which printer configuration (in Yast) to use because DJ 400L was not listed... I ended up using the 'DeskJet' configuration. Is the the right one to use? Linux recognizes the printer now, but when i do a ' lptest 35 6 > /dev/lp1' I get laddered text. How can I tell my printer to make a carriage return after each line? This is the first time that I have ever setup a printer with Linux and I must say that this is an area that could use a little improvement. This is probally the hardest thing that i've ever dealt with in Linux.

[SuSE Linux] Dual Monitors under Linux
by toftd001＠hawaii.rr.com 30 Nov '98

I've spent quite a bit of time hunting for anything that says Linux will support dual monitors under XFree86. Surely Win98 can't have a feature that Linux does not? George - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Hylafax setup
by Michael.Clark＠mclark.org 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

Does anyone have experience with setting up hylafax?? I have read most of the docs from the web site and my hard drive. A lot of it needs work. I have the server running, but it never sends the fax. I would like to be able to force it to dial the modem so I can tell if it is even able to do so. thanks mc - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You should give network printing a try when you get this going. Pain in the butt. I didn't do a lot to get my 400 to work really, I print through SO5, Netscape and sometimes VI. Try one of those and see if you still get the garbage prints. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] lilo trouble...
by rjfleck＠ccrma.Stanford.EDU 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

i've been configuring a new suse kernel in order to install the oss (open sound system) sound drivers so i can get 16-bit digitial audio functioning properly... i currently only have 8-bit sound capability... >-< i don't believe the kernel configuration has been a problem... but i think i'm doing something wrong with lilo..?? windows and redhat linux are on /dev/sdba; suse linux is on /dev/sdb... i am trying to get a new suse kernel installed on /dev/sdb... my lilo.conf is on the redhat partition on /dev/sda... i have therefore been trying to do the lilo reconfiguration from redhat with root on /dev/sda, even though the new kernel i want to install is on /dev/sdb... after placing the new kernel in /vmlinuz on the suse partition, i am getting following output from 'uname' after boot: **************************************** <4>Linux version 2.0.32 (root@rjfleck) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #7 Fri\ Sep 25 00:05:34 PDT 1998 **************************************** now i recompiled the new kernel on november 18, and if the correct /vmlinuz is what's running it should show the date it was compiled, n'est-ce pas...? i was also suspicious because /var/log/boot.messages was exactly the same after installation in spite of the fact that i modified the kernel configuration...??? and previously configured sound drivers are still installing even though i disabled them in the new kernel configuration... *#&*(! i suspect that, in spite of the fact i am modifying /etc/lilo.conf and running /sbin/lilo on it from the redhat partition, the mbr is still finding and running the old kernel... my suspicion was further reinforced by the fact that the first line of suse boot.messages gives a curious message which looks lilo-related: **************************************** Cannot find map file. **************************************** i noticed that my redhat root directory has a /map file dated the date i reconfigured lilo... but there is no /map in my suse root directory with the vmlinuz i am trying to boot...! how does lilo get a map file to more than one root system when there is more than one linux o/s in the boot configuration...? my lilo.conf follows below... i am now pouring over the lilo documentation to try and get an idea of what i'm doing wrong... but i thought it might help to put the question out there... best, ********************************************************************** rj fleck 715 ashbury street san francisco, ca 94117-4013 phone: (415) 661-9067 fax: (415) 661-9271 internet: rjfleck(a)ccrma.stanford.edu ********************************************************************** boot=/dev/sda map=/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=100 image=/vmlinuz label=redhat root=/dev/sda5 read-only image=/vmlinuz-old label=redhat-old root=/dev/sda5 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 label=linux-original root=/dev/sda5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.32.img read-only other=/dev/sda1 label=dos table=/dev/sda image=/vmlinuz label=suse root=/dev/sdb2 read-only image=/vmlinuz-old label=suse-sound root=/dev/sdb2 read-only #image=/vmlinuz.98.09 # label=suse-original # root=/dev/sdb2 # read-only - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
