HP LaserJet 3390 for Win 95 users
by Zoran Ljubisic 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hi all, We have Suse 9.3 server and few Win XP and Win 95 (don't ask) clients. We plan to get HP LaserJet 3390 All-in-one, print/scan/fax/copy, (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/hr/hr/sm/WF06a/10001977-10004075-10004079-10…) Printer understands HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5e, HP Postscript Level 3 emulation. For XP clients everything is OK, but there is not driver for 95 clients. I want to use only printers network interface. My idea for W95 users is to create raw printer on suse and to use some compatible driver for win 95 clients. This printer on suse will use port 9100 for printing. Maybe same could be accomplished without client driver at W95 side, but I am not sure. HP LJ 3390 supports port9100 (Direct Mode) and Line printer daemon (LPD). What option is better? Do I have some other options? Zoran

I bought a Sansa Sandisk e250 (2gb) mp3 player, and I haven't been able to recognize it through its usb port. Does anyone know how I can get it to mount? -- Lunatic Asylum, n.: The place where optimism most flourishes.

[opensuse] thunderbird requires nscd ?
by Gomez, Daniel 06 Sep '06

Why would thunderbird segfault just because nscd is not running? Turn off nscd and try launching thunderbird.

capturar la consola serie de otro server

Gente, esta vez vengo con algo un poco mas importante que unos caracteres mal dibujados.. la tarea serìa, porder capturar desde un linux, el output de la consola serie de otro linux, pero todo esto, sin instalar cu, kermit, etc. (esto es por un tema de licencias de una aplicaciòn de este server) hasta ahora, lo que intentè fuè, del syslog, redirigir todos los eventos a /dev/ttyS0, y del otro lado, ejecuto tail -f /dev/ttyS0 si, es casi primitiva la prueba, pero como no se me ocurriò nada mas inteligente, pregunto por si me pudiesen ayudar con algo mas serio Saludos!

" Ok seeing as how everyone thought it was hardware failure I decided to pull out a livecd of mepis that I know worked with my wireless. Inserted disc and booted and it worked right out of the gate. Automatically found my prism3 wireless usb and grab a ip from my router. I have ruled out hardware failure. Any other ideas?" ======= Yast Also lsmod to see if the kernel module (driver) is loaded /etc/sysconf for starters

"I have a Airvast Taiwan USB prism 3 built in to my laptop. When i first installed suse 10.1 it worked like a charm. A few days ago it stopped. " ========= So, instead of swapping out the card (or trying a different one) you assumed the OS was at fault. Maybe it just broke and you need different hardware. It does happen. Fred

Using USB with a serial connecting camera
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Using Suse 9.3 and 10.1. I have two serial ports. Only one can be used and is connected with my modem. The other serial port is not working. I have recently bought an USB serial cable and now want to use that cable to make a connection with my camera. In Digikam my camera is included but there is no choice of USB, Serial it is. I could insert a camera port path. The camera mount path is grayed out. Is there a possibility to tell Digikam the the serial port path is "whatever" and symlink that port to the USB port from the cable. How do I find out the path to mount the USB?

Zen stopped working
by Robert Fitzpatrick 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

After my last updates that mainly included amarok and other packages from Packman, now Zen gives me this on X startup... System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in <0x003d6> Novell.Zenworks.Gui.ZenTrayIcon:CheckUpdatesLoop () in (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void () I tried updating via YaST2 after finding a couple of posts regarding the issues, but no help. I see a post regarding SMART, is this what is needed or is that for the initial updates issue after install, which were all applied and updates working for some time now until this issue. Can someone tell me what needs to be done in order to get the updater to work again? -- Robert
