The first link should have got you page 34 of the user manual, which states that you need a program to access the print test page function. According to the manual, there is no button that you push to print the test page as there is on many other printers. The second link describes the hp-toolbox program, which runs on Linux and (apparently) will allow you to access the test page function. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] systemd and 'Stale file handle' errors?
I have a CentOS 7 system where I needed to restart chronyd - but the systemctl restart failed with the error: systemd[1]: Starting NTP client/server... systemd[43578]: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/sbin/chronyd: Stale file handle systemd[1]: chronyd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=226 Turns out there are a couple of Stale NFS file handles from fuse mounts (related to gvfsd) of sub directories under an NFS mounted home directory server - but the home directory for the user in this case, no longer exist (user has left) However, I have no idea why these 'Stale file handles' prevent a service being started by systemd ? In this case, chronyd has nothing to do with NFS mounted user home directories - so shouldn't really care ? I have tried everything I can think of to clear these stale mounts, but with no luck Does anyone know why systemd complains about unconnected 'Stale file handles' - and is there any way I can tell systemctl to start a service regardless of these 'errors' ? Rebooting the host will be a last resort (the system is used by many users) - but in the meantime, I've manually started the /usr/sbin/chronyd binary directly, which runs fine Thanks James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
