Hello All,
I have been running Mandrake 6.1 (my first try at Linux) for
approximately two weeks now and have enjoyed learning about it. I have a
printer that has recently
gone berserk and starts printing a preloaded text from somewhere. I don't
know what "pool, queue,stack,buffer, or list" it is reading from, it has
survived many bootup cycles and always comes up printing this text. Where
might I purge this print job?
I'm back to using Micro$haft Outlook Express because I have three POP mail
accounts and have failed to find anything in Linux that will manage all 3.
Netscape will only allow multiple email accounts if they are IMAP and not
POP. So the transition is taking a while to get going. I did manage to get
"X" going after collecting all the parts and pieces from Intel to use the
i810 chipset. I still have a wheelmouse and a sound card to configure,
probably have to buy a "real" soundcard since my modem/soundcard "unit"
won't work. I did breakdown and buy a "real" external modem since Hewlett
Packard didn't include any ISA slots on their ASUS "Hawk" motherboard. It's
been a long expensive ride so far for my free OS. I did get about $80.00 of
books to document the features of this OS. I had all the computerized
documentation available on my hard drive, CD, and online. But none of that
is available when you are staring at a command prompt, I needed something in
print to refer to when conversing with the penguin!
Thanks for listening to the rantings and ravings of a newcomer!
Vern
