I had the deskjet attached to this thing working, at least for postscript printing. I then installed ncp to use the novell laser printers, successfully printed to one, and now I can't print to the deskjet by my side.
Even printing something trivial, I get hawkinsttyp0:hawk>lpq waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?) Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st hawk 22 cs.ps 16921 bytes The printer is most definitely on line, and I printed a page from windows. I've tried stopping and starting lpd to no avail. Possibly related (i've never dealt with novell befre) is that I now receive plenty of messages to the xconsole of collisioins: Aug 26 12:53:02 hawkins kernel: IPX: Network number collision 24899 Aug 26 12:53:02 hawkins kernel: eth0 802.3 and eth0 802.2 Aug 26 12:53:07 hawkins kernel: IPX: Network number collision 24899 Aug 26 12:53:07 hawkins kernel: eth0 802.3 and eth0 802.2 Aug 26 12:53:23 hawkins kernel: IPX: Network number collision 24899 Aug 26 12:53:23 hawkins kernel: eth0 802.3 and eth0 802.2 Aug 26 12:53:25 hawkins kernel: IPX: Network number collision 24899 Aug 26 12:53:25 hawkins kernel: eth0 802.3 and eth0 802.2 Finally, is there an extra how-to around for magic filter? It claimed to have configured successfully and accepted the printer I told it, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything; I still get the stair-case effect on text files (and this machine is a bit low on horsepower to use ghostscript all the time). While I'm pushing my luck, the IPX howto mentioned that it's possible to set up queues to use normal linux printing to send to novell network printers; is there an explanation for this anywhere? rick --
