-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey All,
Wanted to share a success with you. I have been dual booting at work for a while now. SuSE 8.1 and Win98. One of the issues that I had was the inability to print from SuSE. Our office has a Lanier Printer/Copier. I decided one day to investigate and see if Lanier had any support for Linux. I emailed their support and got an answer back today. It seems that Ricoh and Lanier merged and that our printer has a Ricoh counterpart. There is even a UNIX/Linux driver available with some decent instructions. It uses LPRng, which I am not familiar with (as-of-yet). I went through the install procedure as it was explained. Not an overly complicated procedure. I was miffed to see that it did not work. This led me to take a gander to see whether CUPS had an entry for the appropriate Ricoh printer. It did not but it had a similar entry in the same family. Once I entered the information, I tried a test print and lo and behold, it worked. I was already a fan of CUPS before but this cemented the whole thing. Kudos to those CUPS folks! - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D CLUG Treasurer Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPlK4AACQFPa+bt49AQKmFAP9Eb9ouVjEam+0YYIOqo8lEKNUNZgtY9s1 oa+VpSuEiA61VGQdFfBvKnNC9WCHbZbYUV7FACcLX/wWN0ZQUDh+gI8ardRZcXB0 ZeEBX3MtE2vKg0HDCA6hmJFKIyYFXC3+SHqA5tOjayZu7nagTPPx5nfy8VQKABpM 7u3SBQ03h/8= =f+aL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
