Subject: Printer driver for HP-Deskjet 970Cxi
Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 16:23:44 +0200
Hi there,
does anyone of you know if there is a good printer driver for the HP-Deskjet
970Cxi?
I am currently using SuSE Linux 6.4 and it recognizes the printer as a
"970C".
It then offers to use different drivers like for 820C, 670C, 850C, 650C ...
Neither one of them produces a good printing quality in color. The 670C
looks best but
still not even close to the quality produced under Windows ;-(
The b&w quality is ok.
So, if anyone nknows a good way to solve this, please email me. Or if
anyone even
know where to get a driver for the 970Cxi please let me know.
Any help is appreciated - Thank's.
-Timo.

when using aliased mail, you can still do multidrop from 1 pop box, some ISP's allow
you to actually grab aliased mail separately, it would appear however that with you,
this
is not the case, you probably are trying to do multidrop though.

This may well make a difference in how you solve the problem. The first thing to do is
to grab a look at all the
headers in the emails that are comming in, if each of them has something like
Envelope-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] for user1
Envelope-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] for user2
and so on then you are on to something, fetchmail can be told to do somethign with
this (there is a parameter
envelope) that you can set in your fetchmailrc file e.g.
--
poll mail.<my isp>
proto pop3
checkalias
envelope Envelope-To
user "<pop3 user name>" pass "<pop3 passwd>" to * here
--
without some kind of user x pass y is z here (or to z here) stuff will always go to
the callers mailbox.
(someone tell me if I am wrong)
so my advice (for what it is worth) is to go back through the multidrop stuff in the
docs and check the
headers of the incomming mail to see what to set the envelope stuff as
you can also (if you are into hacking sendmail) set up a rule that will take the
incomming mail and blat an
envelope on it based on header stuff.......
one thing to remember though is in grabbing multi account stuff from a single box can
get you hurt by some
mailers

My understanding is that it is *NOT* possible to set up a BA PPPoE DSL
account without running either Windows or MacOS. Once set up, you can
use only Linux, and wipe Windows from your hard disk.
You might want to look into alternatives to BA. A few, such as
shore.net, are reportedly planning on partnering with BA. (In many
regions, such BA partners already exist, but the last I heard, the only
one in Massachusetts was Flashcom, which is one of the few DSL ISPs to
be more despised than BA.) These BA partners may offer static IP
addresses, or at least better setup procedures than BA offers. You can
also check http://www.dslreports.com to see if other DSL providers (like
Covad or Northpoint) offer service in your area. These providers rent
space in BA's central offices, so they may offer service earlier (or
later) than does BA. They just rent the physical line and CO space from
BA. I'm using a Covad partner ISP, speakeasy.net, which gives me a
static IP address. They're also about the most Linux-friendly ISP I've
ever encountered. (They've actually got a promotion going for small
businesses where they provide a Cobalt Qube along with DSL service.)

i installed the slack7 distro, and now see that there is no dictionary

where do i find one? an english. and a swedish and polish one as well,
if they exist...:)
i have looked at freshmeat, and distrosites, and ftp's, but didnt find
anything. i dont even know how it's supposed too look. just one big

thanks in adv. / alex
ps. the program 'gnurobots' complains about not finding file test.scm.
what is that about? i have no such file on my hdd. i think it's

i installed guile for it, which seemed to be fine after i ran

On your task bar, there is an icon for Yast (it looks like a yellow
starburst). Once Yast starts up, select Choose/Install packages. You can
install additional packages from the SuSE CDs or files you've downloaded.
This *is* documented in the manual. The advantage of using Yast is that
SuSEWM will make all necessary changes to your various windows managers that
are needed.
Alternately, you can just use kfm and click on an RPM file and install that
way.

You're right. But ...
I think the acronym "GNU's Not Unix" was meant to poke fun at Unix
copyright and licensing issues, rather than to distinguish GNU from
Unix in technological terms. The GNU tools are often simple clones of
the original Unix tools (with extensions and enhancements here and
there), but free from proprietary Unix licensing restrictions. That's
the key differnce, and I think that's what Stallman had in mind when
he coined the acronym. (At least that's my understanding of what he's
said and written on the subject).
I think the original poster is correct. Linux is described as
"Unix-like" for copyright reasons.

I don't recall the exact numbers, but I believe that Red Hat has held
the #1 popularity position for some time, at least in terms of easily
quantifiable measures like sales and number of downloads from sites that
host multiple distributions. Red Hat suffered a lot with the release of
Corel Linux a few months ago, though; Corel's popularity came largely at
Red Hat's expense. IIRC, I saw something recently that suggested that
Mandrake was the #1 in downloads from a big site recently, but I suspect
the results were skewed because the survey was taken just after the 7.0
release of Mandrake. Sorry I don't have attributions for any of this. As
it's all been filtered through my potentially faulty memory, take it all
with a grain of salt.

I think it is in the software package 'ispell'. Ispell is a program to check
your documents on errors. Just search at freshmeat again for it.

watch out with this abbreviation. hdd is the same as 'hard disk d' (secondary

It sounds like you don't yet have Linux installed. If so, try installing
Linux. Most distributions let you add, delete, and reformat partitions
as part of the installation process. If you have problems, post details,
including what distribution you're trying to install.

Who cares? Linux is linux, it is your choice, it is what you like. Don't care
what
others are using, but take a look at all sorts of distributions. Don't focus at
one, be open-minded, use what you like.

I did finally get it to work. I used Red Hat 6.2's rp3 to set up
internet
internet connections and clicked on the button, "Let ppp do all the
work,"
(or something like that, I'm at the University now and that was last
night at home).
The two times I connected, the connection rate was above 40kbps.
It seems to be better than the University's internet service.

Yes, you'll have to recompile the kernel, but you probably won't have to
reboot.
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
(Filesystems->select NTFS read-only support, press M)
(Exit, saving changes)
# make modules modules_install
# depmod -a
Then you should be able to mount the NTFS partition read-only. Please
note that read-write support is potentially buggy so don't use it unless
you back up the NTFS partition first!

Shouldn't be any problem. If you have an ISO image and you want to record
it to two CD-Rs simultaneously, all you should need to do is:
cdrecord dev=/dev/sg0 image.iso &
cdrecord dev=/dev/sg1 image.iso
This assumes that the CD-R(W)s are seen on /dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1, of
course. You may run into problems if both of these devices are on the
same IDE controller and you're burning faster than 2x, due to limitations
of the IDE bus. If they're real SCSI devices, no problem. IIRC, the
author of cdrecord has used the program to write to 2 CD-Rs simultaneously
without problems.
Regardless, it would be a good idea to avoid doing much else with the
machine while you're burning 2 CDs at once. Buffer underruns are not good
and will lead to coasters.

It could be doing an reverse dns query to find out which computer you're
coming from.
When you log in , does it tell you when you last logged in and from which
computer ?
If the ip's are static, you can put them into the linux computer's hosts
file.
If not, you can set the linux comp to use the DNS on your network.
Another option is to disable the reverse lookup. Unfortunately I do not know
how to do that.
