Fwd: [SLE] CUPS is the solution, NOT a problem

Read below. > ><snip> Fred Miller sent me a cordial correction of my attitude about this. Evidently CUPS does not handle some printers well, or at all. Lexmark Z series in particular. Let me rephrase it. Jim specifically mentioned HP Laserjet 4L printer and 2 people told him to drop CUPS. CUPS supports HP's out of the box with generic type ppd files. If one searches and finds a more detailed ppd file, he can almost certainly take advantage of all or most of the printer's features, all controlled through a web browser. Many ppd files are available for weird and regular printers at www.linuxprinting.org. WinXX ppd files (they do work) can be located at M$ and Adobe. So, in short, unless a person describes a printer that is known not to work with CUPS, it is a great disservice to hammer CUPS in general terms. It is a great printing tool.

PCNet32 driver
by Derek Fountain 08 May '01

08 May '01

Anyone on the list running kernel 2.4 with the pcnet32 network driver? People around here are having problems with a freshly compiled 2.4.3 kernel. (The module loads, but it gives an "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" error when trying to get the interface up.) Can someone just confirm that the driver isn't broken, and that it will be made to work if we fiddle with it enough?
