Yes I've suffered this same error with wp 5 for dos and with other old programs. It's caused because the when you don't say print all as graphics, the program tries to guess the font on the printer that matches most with the document one. So when you say print all as graohics , the program doesn't do that it just generates the pixmap for the page you're printing correctly. The only thing it's a bit strange to me it's that this kind of error was tipically associated with old noisy matrix printers and not with ink jet ones.

[SuSE Linux] kernel 2.2 peculiarities
by zentara＠mindspring.com 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

Well I decided to check out the 2.2 kernel, and I have hit only 1 snag so far, and was wondering if someone would save me the time, and tell me which package I need to upgrade. Everything boots fine up to: "Configuring Serial ports....done" "tty_io.c: process57 (setserial) used obsolete /dev/cua0 -update software to use /dev/ttyS0" and a similar message for cua1 then a whole bunch of messages saying cua2 thru 10 or something were not found. Then I can dial and connect with wvdial, but it will not hold the connection. I built PPP into the kernel. What package needs upgrading? Setserial.rpm? PPPd.rpm? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Can't keep time
by jimo＠eskimo.com 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

SuSE 5.3 thinks the time is one hour ahead of the truth. When I set the time, as root, using "date 01302013" (as I've been in the habit with all prior Linux installations) this time is used until the next reboot, at which point the date has been changed to Jan 30 21:15:23 PST 1999. The "PST" part is right, and /etc/rc.config has "America/Los_Angeles" for its TIMEZONE, but the clock is clobbered every time upon reboot. It makes no difference if I reboot with init 6, or halt and then hit the reset button, except in the latter case, the clock seems to have a small error in the minutes as well as being the hour fast. What's going on; how do I fix this so I have the right time? FWIW, my reg ID is JUNJJR; I've never been given a customer #, although I've sent in my card and registered on the website.

[SuSE Linux] How do I "assign a yp server?"
by jimo＠eskimo.com 31 Jan '99

31 Jan '99

I've set the IP number of my machine in /etc/rc.config, on the YP_SERVER line, and SuSEconfig has made the file /etc/yp.conf, that says ypserver 192.168.81.38 and I've also set the rc.config line: YP_DOMAINNAME="dogswood.com" and yet, whenever I try to invoke a service that depends on NIS, I get the error message: big-dog ypbind[134]: domain dogswood.com not served by 192.168.81.38 The rc.config file, and the SuSE 5.3 book say things like "ask the admin of the yp-server." Well, that's me. What else do I have to do? Is there something else I need to put in /etc/hosts? Now, it says: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.81.38 big-dog.dogswood.com big-dog All the rpc and yp programs mentioned in all the how-tos seem to be running, but the NIS system doesn't think it has a yp server "bound" where it needs it. The daily cron job spits an error message to the screen: YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: No bound server for domain dogswood.com What do I need to do to fix this?

Well, one or two isolated cases out of the whole dosn't disprove an assertion. Did your state government choose SuSe????? That is my proof. Did IBM choose to give support to Suse as well as Redhat? Did the other assorted American corporations who recently threw support behind Redhat, also endorse Suse????? Or any other linux variant? Let us know whether your state government makes the choice, then you tell us why the descision went the way it did. I will be "happily redfaced" if they choose Suse, and say "right-on". But if they choose Redhat, I will say "told you so". The assertion I made is indeed a personal observation and "speculation"; but others have said before me. Also conversely, I would expect German ,and other European corporations and organizations, would choose Suse over Redhat. Wouldn't it be great if we could all be this eloquent in answering operating system questions? :-) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I posted this question a couple of weeks ago, and Fred Miller, said that you can put Suse on as many of your machines as you want, from the original disk set. The problem may come when you want to make copies and hand them out to friends. I don't believe Suse allows that, while Redhat does. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
