/etc/printcap set up
I recently bought an HP Laser Jet 6L and I'm happy to say that it works beautifully with linux. After a little work I hacked together a perl script which will print ascii just fine and ghostscript allows me to do postscript and latex so I'm happy with that. The problem is I can't get lpr to recognize the filters I want to use. I know that lpr searches the /etc/printcap file to see how each printer is setup. Having read the Printing-HOWTO I was under the impression that I could add the filters I wanted in that file. Currently my /etc/printcap looks like this lp|Laser Jet:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :pl#64:\ :sh: Now the Printing-HOWTO said to add a text filter for just plain lpr'ing, that is, a simple command with no options, like lpr myfile.txt I should add the line :if=/etc/filter.txt:\ to /etc/printcap and things would work out right. Well I wrote the filter.txt and tried it (as root) with # cat myfile.txt | /etc/filter.txt /dev/lp0 and things worked out fine. I also tried it with this (as an ordinary user) $ cat myfile.txt | /etc/filter.txt | lpr and once again things worked out fine (the job was spooled to the printer and printed out correctly) so I don't think it's a problem with my file permissions or my script. So when I add the line :if=/etc/filter.txt:\ to /etc/printcap, all I get is one blank page printed out. So I know the next question, where did I add the line, well /etc/printcap looks like this lp|Laser Jet:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :if=/etc/filter.txt:\ :mx#0:\ :pl#64:\ :sh: So what I'm I doing wrong? I've read both the Printing-HOWTO and the Printing-Usage-HOWTO and they tell me this should work, but it doesn't. I would also like to print tex files from lpr by using $ lpr -d myfile.dvi which means I should add :df=/etc/filter.dvi:\ right? I would also like a script to handle postscript. Currently to print postscript I have to type cat myfile.ps | gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE - | lpr which works but I'd rather have a script for it that lpr will call with some command line argument (-p ?) I don't know which one to use. So I could write a bunch of bash aliases to handle all this, but I'd rather have lpr do it for me because I thought that was what /etc/printcap was all about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - John Kloss -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

bo - Afterstep - colours
Yes, this might be a tad off-topic but... I have 3 window managers installed on my bo system. All 3 are the versions that came with the 1.3.1 CD set. They are fvwm95, fvwm2 and Afterstep. I only have 1meg video RAM and I run X at 1024x768 with 8bpp. I have a colour problem when I run Afterstep which results in the top 2 wharf icons not displaying and causes Netscape to display in black and white. This colour problem doesn't occur under any circumstances with the other w/managers. Yes, I can run at 16bpp and this doesn't happen but I can only get a resolution of 800x600 at this colour depth.

Way off topic: humor
Hi all, Thought many of you might enjoy this... if this is a no no let me know :) A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communication equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building through the fog, flew toward it, circled, drew a hand-written sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign read: WHERE AM I? in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it to one of the building's windows. Their sign said, YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER. The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how in the world the YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER sign helped him to determine their position. The pilot responded: I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.

RE: Sound Card Opti 931
I don't know if it will help or not, but there is a program called setcrystal that is included with the soundmodem utilities by Thomas Salier. You can get to his home page at http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~sailer/. The program initializes the PnP card for WSS (many OPTi cards) or SB PnP. His software was written to allow the use of amateur packet radio over a soundcard instead of the TNC usually required. It looks to me as if there are two issues - does the kernel support the card and how do I set up the card. Isuspect if you compile the kernel for MAD 16 support, you will need to set the card up with a utility like setcrystal before loading the kernel sound driver.

Laptop prob with Deb. 1.3.1
I just bought a Toshiba 440CDX and tried to install Debian 1.3.1. Every time I put the boot disk in the floppy, the laptop would reboot right after it gets done decompressing the kernel and says loading Linux... Finally, after countless times, I was able to get it to boot and install the distribution. Only now I can't get it to boot again... I'm using LILO to do a dual-boot to Win95 (its for work only, guys!) and whenever I choose Linux to boot it reboots... 95 works fine... I'm at a loss... I know of people who have other distributions of Linux running on the same exact laptop so I don't think it's the latop... I've tried popping out all of the PCMCIA cards and booting but it still reboots... Any bright ideas?

Re: Laptop prob with Deb. 1.3.1
Try using the tecra bootdisks inside disks-i386/special to see if you can boot linux via floppies. If that works for you, then you're probably encountering the same bug that many laptop people have had to deal with, namely that kernels made with 'make bzImage' will not boot. If so, then all you need to do is recompile a new kernel made with make zimage instead of make bzimage.
