[SLE] Color printing not working w WP and epson 1160
by samelash＠ix.netcom.com 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Hi folks, need to chime in here. I installed an epson 1160 color inkjet printer . Went into yast and set it to stcolor , it works fine with Maxwell, and will print color text in maxwell. Wordperfect ojn the other hand wont print out in color. I set word perfect 8 to use the passthroogh postscript. have set it up , but the color section and color check box is grayed out. WP will only print in gray scale. there is no driver for the 1160 , too new I gues, and the other ones were for epson action writers , what ever they are. I also went to the corel sight , but it has no teck docs or driver info. Ideas any one. I would like to get word perfect (its the boxed set not a dl) working , other wise I need something with more hose power than maxwell. Any one know of a M$ publisher like app for linux than can do desk top publishing , flyers and sings ??

[SLE] netscape plugins

Hi I can not listen to wav files in Netscape, I can listen to them under media player so it must be to do with the Netscape Plugger 3.0 or the plugin apps. Any tips for listening to sound files from within Netscape? I am using SuSE 6.3 and the free OSS drivers.

[SLE] Windows 2000 Professional in a UNIX Environment
by FBob＠wt.net 15 Mar '00

For those interested I have included this URL. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/win2000/scsunix.asp Be forewarned- this is M$ FUD and downright lies. An example: 1. Obtain Services for UNIX 2.0 from your reseller. 2. Insert the CD into the CD ROM Drive. .....next section..... In connecting Windows and UNIX systems for file access, you have two choices: 1. Make UNIX servers expose their resources to SMB-based clients. 2. Make SMB-based clients able to access NFS-based resources. In practice, this has required either modifying UNIX servers to support non-NFS clients or using third-party software for accessing NFS resources. Your UNIX administrator does not have the time, or the inclination to load SMB on the staging server: It introduces greater complexity and security concerns to the server. To meet the requirement, you will have to make your Windows clients work with the UNIX server, not vice-versa. <snip> I get it! M$ would rather you BOUGHT a M$ package rather than bother your Unix admin- How thoughtful of them$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ You have been warned. -- Bob F EMail FBob(a)wt.net A Truly Wise Man Never Plays Leapfrog With A Unicorn... -- 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/

Hello Steve, You can create for example /boot/old directory and copy in there your old kernel vmlinuz and System.map. If you'll need to return to your original kernel you can copy it and System.map back to /boot. Execute 'lilo' and 'shutdown -r now' That is it.

For now, this is probably the best way. dump can limit file sizes, and the output can be piped to any device (file). The limitation at this point is that there is not a packet-writing interface to CD-R or CD-RW devices. CD-RW devices will have one shortly, thanks to some SuSE engineers among others.

Re: [SLE] kernel for SCSI scanner
by alex＠daniloff.com 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Hello, Apparently stock EIDE kernel shouldn't work with SCSI devices. You can try to use stock SCSI kernel from SuSE 6.3. But you need to know what SCSI modules were compiled into stock SCSI kernel. If any one of these SCSI modules corresponds to chipset name on your SCSI adapter card. If you don't know you have to recompile your kernel. Go to /usr/src/linux and execute 'make xconfig' In the menu you should see SCSI drivers topic. Click on it and check 'Y' or 'M' on appropriate SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. You can go through all kernel configuration topics and optimize your kernel according to your hardware. After click on 'Save and exit'. Execute 'make dep clean bzImage' Execute 'make modules' Execute 'make modules_install' Copy and rename bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz. Copy System.map to /boot/System.map go to /boot and execute 'lilo' Execute 'shutdown -r now' Invoke YAST and follow the procedure to install your scanner. Enjoy it.

At a recent meeting our manager used the acronym SWAG several times. Nobody else said anything, so I assumed I was the only one there who didn't know what it meant. Of course I wasn't about to reveal my ignorance in such a group setting. Later in private I asked the manager what SWAG meant. He gave me a devilish grin and said, "That's a Scientific Wild-Assed Guess." -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Though all my neighbors are barbarians, and you are a thousand miles away, there are always two cups on my table. -- 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/

Hi All, Does anyone know a good (or at least ok) OCR program for Linux? It needs to be able to read jpg files. I've got a piece of M$ junk that will read only tif files. When I change jpg to tif it goes belly up. TIA!

[SLE] *WANTED: ipchains guru*
by noc＠kulish.com 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Looking for someone to take a look at my ipchains script. I don't want to post it on the list as it is kind of long. A little background is in order. I want to setup an ipchains firewall to do the following: Deny everythind that is not explicitly allowed. I have a server sitting behind it that will host pop3, smtp, www, and ftp so I will need to forward all these ports. I want to allow everyone on the local network to ANYTHING out on the internet. I want to log any denials and protect against IP spoofing (and anything else that might be dangerous). If anyone is willing to help, I will send them my annotated script to take a look at. I do realize that some things are missing (probably the stuff I need help on). I have read all the HOW-TOs that I can find but something isn't clicking. Thanks for any HELP!

Re: [SLE] Samba
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 15 Mar '00

This is true, but my SuSE-6.1 box has the netbios name exported, as does my SuSE-6.3 box. The config files are pretty much identical. Works fine on 6.3, not on 6.1. There must be a problem with Samba on 6.1, or a problem I put in my hand rolled kernel on the 6.1 box. I thought it was a bit odd, but it seems someone else has the same problem. > it's the netbios export that makes it visible - MS networking relies on > NetBios (aka netBEUI) regardless of the TCP/IP transport.
