Subject: Help with printing to other host
Date: Sun, 04 Mar 2001 14:24:40 GMT
I running Red Hat 7.0 Linux and cannot print to a printer resident on
another host. I have setup the printer using PRINTTOOL in Red Hat, and have
used the lpd/lpr setup, trying both the name of the host and the IP address
of the host, and for "queue" I gave the name of the printer as it exists on
the host.
Nothing seems to work. At this point, I am wondering if lpd is working
properly. What tests can I perform to debug the lpd and lpr process ?

Hello
I'm currently doing background reading on a project aiming to create a
Hard disk back up system for a Palm Pilot.In the specificfation data
from the Hard disk is to be sent to the Palm Pilot via the Palm Pilot's
RS-232 link. Therefore to reduce
control overheads I am looking at developing some form of secondary
processor
to handle file input and retrieval from the hardrive, then sending the
data up
the RS 232.
I was thinking of using a X4000E FPGA to interface with the IDE Hard
disk interface.With a microprocessor running a version of embedded Linux
to handle File Allocation and retrieval.
However I have never used Linux before and would appreciate any advice,
or useful websites surrounding the development of such a system.
Especially any cheap development boards that could be used to create
such a system.
Thanks alot
Daniel Bardwell

Hi,
Has anyone tried it ? well I guess that lots of people have, I tried doing
it using piranha but I was having lots of problems so I abandoned the
project for now but I know that at some time I'll have to come back on it...
now what I really want are references ... like can you give me any urls and
howtos or docs you have used to make your linux cluster work.
I would greately appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Outstanding! I am working on getting this up and working right now, but
I felt that I should perhaps point this out: How about getting with the
maintainer of the News-Leafsite mini-HOWTO (it apparently hasn't been
updated since Jan 98 -- over three years!) and either merge or take
over, since you seem to know what you're doing.
Just an idea, and thanks again!

I noticed that the kernel has a driver for the south-bridge part of my
VIA KT133 chipset, so I enabled it and recompiled. It solved two
problems at once for me: my hard drives hda and hdb now work in (and
default to )UDMA66 mode, and my Plextor drive works properly even in DMA mode.
I looked up your CUBX board on Asus' website, and it looks like you have
an i440BX chipset. I didn't see any drivers pertaining to this in the
kernel configuration, but maybe if you poke around a bit you can find
something I missed.
If you run "hdparm -I /dev/hdc" you'll get a listing of the modes
supported by the drive, as reported by the drive itself. The Plexwriter
supports DMA modes all the way up to multi-sector mode 2, so I don't know
why the BIOS only lets me pick PIO modes for it, but it's in MDMA2 right
now and working fine. The output from hdparm shows an asterisk next to
the currently-selected DMA mode, which is always there even if the drive
is actually using PIO mode.
Hopefully this information will help you find a better solution than
turning off DMA on the Plexwriter.

Hi there,
I just installed RH 7.1 beta with XFree 4.02. It works fine except that
when I go in graphical mode, the screen is displaced to the right. I use
xvidtune to fix this. xvidtune gives me this as output:
Vendor: Monitor Vendor, Model: Monitor Model
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1
hsync range 0: 31.50 - 57.00
vsync range 0: 50.00 - 90.00

-vsync
So I added the last line in my XF86Config file. When I restart the
Xserver, the screen is still displaced to the right. It seems it didn't
recognize what I put in the XF86Config. I've looked at all the
documentation at examples I could find but I'm still doing something
wrong. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've included my
XF86Config file bellow.
Thanks for any help.

Configure your NIC's with different subnet masks. say for instance
192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0, and the other on 192.168.2.20/255.255.255.0.
Since both NIC's are in the same subnet, the machine is probably having
a problem deciding which card to route the return packets through.

Try booting from an emergency disk like tomsroot disk. I use it for these
kinds of emergencies. Just make sure you have a driver handy for you new
card and load it via insmod.
Then mount your root filesystem and when ready to run lilo do something
like this:
mount /dev/sd0 /mnt (or whatever your SCSII drive is)
cd /mnt
[edit the ./etc/lilo.conf file if required]
chroot ./sbin/lilo -C ./etc/lilo.conf
^ note the leading dot is required
Hope this helps!!

hi,
my terminal supports german umlauts, and I have a dot matrix printer
attached to lp0.
but when I do "echo ��� > /dev/lp0", only strange characters appear on
the paper. The printer has DIP switches to set the character set which
is used, but it has no effect when I set it to german, except that
other strange characters appear.
do you have any ideas how to teach my printer to print german umlauts
with linux ?
and there's another problem :
I installed apsfilter, but it didn't work- so I removed it again.. but
after removing it "lpr filename" doesn't work anymore i.e. it results
in nothing .. any ideas how to solve this ?

Gene,
Perhaps there is a gcc-2.96-74 available, but for redhat's stuff, I
prefer to stay with their released rpms. I had no trouble whatsoever
compiling a 2.4.1 kernel... perhaps I didn't mention the
modutils-2.3.21-1 or the binutils-2.10.0.18-1 packages I have also.
That might help.
I can't see why you think gcc-2.2-12 is so old... it was
released/bugfixed in mid January (by redhat). I haven't tried others
and I can compile 2.4.1 kernels all day long.
As for the kgcc code being merged... I can't find my reference (and I
could be day dreaming too), but I read somewhere that some of RedHat's
kgcc code was merged into the gcc code base. This was probably
particular so some redhat users could actually compile a 2.4.0-test
kernel or whatever. Excuse my ignorance if I'm totally wrong and I'll
be smarter in either case.

Can you ping from your machine without the printer to the machine with
the printer?
On the machine with the printer, is there a file /etc/hosts.lpd with
the IP address of your other machine in it?
On your machine without the printer, does the /etc/printcap file look
something like this?
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are
doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict
format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.

You have RedHat 6.x, don't you?...
rpm-3.0.5 supports version 4 packages, but is distributed in a version 3
package. It can be found at your favorite redhat mirror in the updates
directory. From there, you can either upgrade further to rpm4 or leave
it alone.
