Well I hooked my new Canon S900 printer up - that was a minor trial. It is a usb device, and I still don't quite grok usb. I finally realised I needed to add in the usb printer kernel module.
I purchased turboprint, a requirement for this printer. Now I'm trying to actually print to it. I've had some success, but I can't quite get it to do what I want. I have some very high res jpeg files I want to print at 1200x1200 dpi. What is the preferred way to do this? When I try to do it through gimp, it barfs - I suspect it uses up too much memory or something trying to generate an absurdly large postscript file. One side issue that drove me nuts - I discovered that the file command, of all things, did not recognize jpeg files. I edited the /usr/share/misc/magic file to add the entries for jpeg, and that fixed it, but I am still amazed that they weren't already there. I'm running Caldera 3.1.1. I can see that when I'm done, there may be an SxS come out of this. I also discovered a new way to admin CUPS, point a browser at http://localhost:631/. Pretty cool. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Alan K.
