Well, I've installed the latest OpenOffice (638), and to my unending
joy the beast actually installs on jbl without locking up my machine.
Moreover, the network install works, and the user install works, and
the startup as normal user works (except for crash after replying to
the Address-book prompt), and yes it still takes 40 seconds to start
on my K6/II 300Mz 64Mb machine.
I just tried to print something, and I get messages
Status Information:
sending job 'collins@jbl1+904' to default@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
cannot open connection to localhost - Connection refused
Make sure LPD server is running on the server
Well, of course, the LPD server is not running, but CUPS is, and the
CUPS-LPD daemon is supposed to handle this.
After a little bit of research, I found the problem. jblinux installs
the file /etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd with the default value 'disable =
yes', whereas 'disable =no' is a much more useful choice!!!
Now I can print with OpenOffice and such this as 'cat xxx | lpr' and
the daemon automagically passes the requests to CUPS. What a deal.
