Hi there -----Original Message----- From: Kim C. Callis <kcc(a)ziplink.net> Subject: [SuSE Linux] Printing problems >Is it just me or has anyone else had the following printing problem.

At first I had assumed that the problem was in the postscript >translation in the apsfilter, but I used the printer on a Sun (running Solaris >2.6) and a RedHat 5.2 linux box, and had absolutely no print delay. I have recently bought a Clor Stylus 740 and had the same problem. This fix is to upgrade to the latest kernel. I was running 2.0.35 but once I upgraded to 2.0.36 the print speed increased significantly. I am also running the latest version of Ghostscript. (5.50) Now all I have to work out is how to get the printer to print at 14400 and on different types of paper.

[SuSE Linux] Printing
by dmale＠one.net.au 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

I have a Canon 7000 bubble-jet printer and am trying to set it up. It prints great with apsfilter using the bjc800 filter, unfortunately the print size is about a5 rather than the a4 setting I want. I have the new ghostscript and viewer and printing an example in the ghostscript folder comes out at 120 * 170mm (the tiger ) or using Applix words to print a page known to be the correct size and with 12 point font still results in this error. Can some one suggest where I might look to increase the finished print size. I had installed a filter at the a3 size but this made no difference.

[SuSE Linux] Setting Dial-Up Connection-Speed Bump
by hsundt＠uswest.net 04 Jan '99

[SuSE Linux] Setting Dial-Up Connection-Speed Bump Setting the connection speed to 56000 in kppp may not be enough to let all the parties involved to connect at 56k. I suspect I must enter 56k in other configuration files. Is this true? If so which are they? I also suspect I have a glitch in my connection set up, in that I often have to call five times to acieve a connect...only to have pppd die. Yet eventually I get a good connection....which always seems to be 2800! Somewhere I got wind of some notion that Linux is "trying" to make the connection too many times in too little time, and so it fails. The correction would be to ask Linux to try less frenetically, and thus achieve a grip! I must say, that using the same line my Mac and Virtual PC Windows systems are able to make internet dial-up connect the the first time, every time, and at speeds between 46666 and 48000 bps consistantly. Thank you I am running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 on a Gateway 2500 "SOLO" laptop with a pcmcia modem, (NOT a Winmodem).

[SuSE Linux] PPP to NT-RAS connection problem

Try this again with a subject (too much caffiene, to little time :-) I'm having problems getting PPP to connect to an NT RAS server; the server *is* configured to allow all authentication, including plain text - we have some outside consultants coming in from AIX platforms. I *can* connect to my ISP with ppp and a terminal signon.
