I asked 3Com for some help with a 56K Faxmodem PCI, you might have seen my post a couple of days ago. This was their reply. Dear Bryn, Thank you for connecting with 3Com. The modem you currently have, our model number 5610, will work in Linnux. The needed drivers are not included with the modem. Linnux drivers need to be written by the enduser of our modems. Thank you for your interest in 3Com. 3Com Pre Sales Support JP Say no more...

Yep. True. The CUPS guys say that Canon will not release tech. info so no Canon printers until they do.

[SLE] printer problems
by Reiner.Dieden＠UCB-Group.com 23 Dec '99

23 Dec '99

Hello everybody, Installing SuSE6.3 went nicely, but I keep having some problems, among which my printer problems are the most prominent. Following initial error messages I installed the S.u.S.E. 6.2 version of lprold. Now, print jobs finally end up in the queue. Nothing comes out of the printer, however. If I try to print directly to the device (cat test.text > /dev/lp0) I am informed that the device is busy. The printer itself is a HPdeskjet 600, configured with the cdj500 driver. I also noticed the following error messages (might they be related ?) : (something like) modules char-major-15 not found Any help will be appreciated, Reiner -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

It can be found at your local tucows mirror, however I think I first installed it from SuSE disk#1 from the dosutils directory.

This is because the broadcast is addressed to all hosts on the local network.
