I have gone to the network pane and the system has detected the port and the printer with GIMP-Print and used the cups config instead of Print center. Hope this helps.

I have an Epson Stylus Color 850 printer that works with OS 9.2.2, but not (obviously) with OS 10.2.6. It connects to the serial printer port on my beige G3, and OSX won't recognize it.
Has anyone made this sort of printer work with Linux packages via Fink? If so, how?
Thanks.

Although this is a fink mailing list I thought it best to mention that you don't have to use fink. See http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 Your printer is noted as 'fully supported.' Regular OSX installers available - pretty straightforward. If you _want_ to use fink I believe you can. I will defer to someone more knowledgeable for instructions.... Brian

Thanks Brian, I wasn't aware of that site. Will give it a try. Anyone with any Fink experience using this printer?

If you need to have dependability with a laptop then you have to be
happy with the native operating system. Your choice is mainly WindowsXP
or MacOSX. Although I am an avid Linux user, I have not seen (anyone?)
who is able to run Linux on a laptop and get 100% functionality from
it. I am sure there are many good laptop hardware manufacturers out
there if you are running an Itel laptop. However, I am pleased with
quality of Apple hardware. MacOSX is a great operating system and you
can dual boot it with Linux.
I personally prefer running Linux. However, it is not a 100% solution
for a laptop, even if you have the time to tinker. Using Linux, modems
are often a problem as well as external video. There were several
problems I had to put up with when using Yellow Dog Linux prior to 3.0.
I now run YLD 3.0 on my iBook and I am relatively happy with how well it
works. However, there is always MacOSX to fall back on when your on the
road and your only connection is a modem.
I have been very impressed with how well Fink works and MacOSX is a
close cousin to Linux so it will feel very familiar. I would stick with
"stable" installation of FINK unless you want to tinker.
I would go with a PowerBook if I was willing to spend the extra money, but for $999 for an iBook it is hard to justify.
I have been hearing that the 12' PowerBook runs very hot, so you might want to look into that issue if you are thinking about buying one of those.

really want an honest answer to my question!
I want a laptop, and I am seriously thinking of getting an iBook or
PowerBook, but I want to know if it will "just work". There are several
things I want from my investment in a laptop (doesn't everyone want these):
1. Quality hardware. The agonizing death of the keyboard on my SO's 1.5
year old toshiba convinced me that I want a laptop made by a company with a
history of quality.
2. Hardware supported by the OS. I don't want to have an unusable modem
and CD burner because the manufacturer used some wierd brand without Linux
support. And I'm sick of having to reboot every other time I want to use the
USB CD Burner on my Debian box.
3. Good package management. I want to easily be able to install all the
beautiful software I am used to having easy access to using dselect on
Debian.
4. OK, I'll admit that I don't mind that the Apple laptops are pretty.
If it weren't for #1 and #2 I would definitely get an x86 laptop and install
Debian. It is because of #1 and #2 that I'm pretty sure I want a Mac. It's
#3 that worries me about a Mac, let me tell you why:
I currently use Debian, and I think dselect is spectacular because it
generally makes installing new software pretty darn easy. The other day I
tried to help a colleague install XEmacs on his Powerbook, we got X from
Apple's X11 beta and XEmacs using Fink. I expected that it would be as
seamless as using dselect on my Debian box, but it "just DIDN'T work". First
libncurses was the wrong version, then dyld failed because another library
was the wrong version. We never got XEmacs to run, and he just gave up.
Maybe I could have done the install myself, if I had been sitting at the
keyboard instead of backseat driving, and maybe mixing Fink with Apple's X11
made it more complicated, but it didn't seem to be as smooth as dselect on
Debian.
Is OS X with Fink going to be as easy as dselect on Debian, or am I asking
too much? I want to be able to use my new laptop pretty much in the same
way as I use my Debian Linux box, but have all the glory of OS X available,
is that too much to ask?
I would especially appreciate the opinion of former Debian users!
Anyone want to lend me their TiBook to play with for a couple weeks?
Thank you for your help!!!!
Josh

--Apple-Mail-2-199723778 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
I need to downgrade wxpython 2.4.0.7 to 2.4.0.2
I have the tar ball (wxPythonSrc-2.4.0.2.tar.gz) in sw/src/ but when I try this: fink install wxpython-py22_2.4.0.2
I get this: Failed: no package found for specification 'wxpython-py22_2.4.0.2'!
So how do I get fink to recognize this particular version? If I simply type fink install wxpython-py22 it tries to install the current version, which doesn't work correctly for the software I'm trying to run.
Thanks. --Apple-Mail-2-199723778 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=US-ASCII
