Printer only Grayscale on SuSE 7.1 & 7.2
Hello I'm trying to install my Epson Stylus Color 460 on my new SuSE 7.2 system (it fails the same way on 7.1). Everything goes fine, I can install for both cups and LPD (serperately offcourse), and print a color text page. But that's it, all the rest is grayscale... The gimp, staroffice, everything. If I print to a file, anc cat that to /dev/lp0, the printout is in color... I get the same result using yast2, yast and lprsetup... I guess something is missing in my apsfilter... CAn anyone help? Thanks Guy
Epson stylus printers work best with gimp-print, which I think is not included with SuSE 7.2. Some of the newer epson printers won't work with older drivers. If you haven't tried this, get it from http://sourceforge.net as tar.gz, save it somewhere sensible, then tar zxvf gimp-print.xxx cd gimp-print.xxx read the README file, compile and install. There may be an RPM on sourcceforge or the home page. Gimp-print works very well with CUPS and gives better quality than any other colour printer on any operating system that I have seen. In high-quality modes it is a little slow. JDL Guy Van Sanden wrote:

Has anyone any comments on the best way to transfer large amounts of material between two computers (say work and home)? I usually use a floppy or ftp, but have used a digital camera and CD. What about: Flash card readers? Mp3 players? Iomega drives? Removable drives? JDL

Hi John, it depends on ammount and what you expect to do with it. Any rewriteable medium will be good. CD's can be used in multisession mode to save waste. The pros and cons are obvious: you need a way to read/write the media both home and at work.

I know this is an easy question because I've forgotten the answer. Do you need to do anything with /boot/System.map after recompiling the kernel? I've just recompiled 2.4.2 and run lilo and have System.map-2.4.2 in /boot. I also have System.map-2.2.14 from the original (6.4) installation. I seem to recall that you could have a file called simply System.map and that you had to do something special if you had two versions of the same kernel release. I just want to record this in my changelog. The new kernel works just fine. JDL

In /boot I have a System.map for each kernel there; i.e. a vmlinuz-2.4.6 and a System.map-2.4.6. I read somewhere that the same 'extra' designation on vmlinuz and System.map should be the same.

Yes, correct. But the System.map file is only necessary when decoding kernel OOPS's, so if you know you're never going to do that, don't bother. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
