I've put the uniprint driver and a magicfilter script on my web page at http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~tov/public/. (It's easier to send URLs than attachements.) The values for the uniprint driver are taken from a posting by Dale ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can check e.g. deja news for the original posting. The magicfilter script just wraps around it to make sure ghostscript is called with the right options. These files should end up in: /etc/gs.devices/stc740ih.upp /etc/magicfilter/stylus_color_740-filter (And lazy me should send this to the right people one day...) You also need "if=/etc/magicfilter/stylus_color_740-filter" in your /etc/printcap file. Hmm, I may be forgetting something but this should get you started. Check docu for ghostview, magicfilter, and LPRng. Then ask me again if something doesn't work. Bill> 2. I asked this before and got no response. I'm hoping it got lost in [snip] Bill> to have mixed results. Often, it seems like the card manager is out Bill> to lunch, as I get no beeps upon unplugging and replugging. Sometimes I don't have much of a clue but sometimes may sound goes "out to lunch" when the kernel daemon kills the sound module but the CD is still playing...
