there is an update that might correct it.

Another vote for Thinstation. We netboot it on a number of wyse models,
5125, 5150, and V50L.

Admittidly, we use it to connect to windows 2003 terminal services, but
they do start X11 and rdesktop, so should be fine alongside xdm/gdm etc.

+1

Thinstation can turn any old PC into a capable X terminal or RDP/ICA/ 
NX client.

Just run system-config-printer and  follow the new printer wizard.  You 
basically need to know the manufacturer and model.  With that you can select 
the proper PPD file.  

The other thing you need to know is HOW the printer is going to be connected 
to the machine.  In other words, its backend (CUPS-wise).  If you get this 
right (correct PPD and correct backend) you're all done.

Unless you can work your way though the foomatic printer database and
know what ppd file(s) to copy to /etc/cups/ppd and know the exact
incatation that needs to be in /etc/printers.conf, you pretty much have
to have the print itself on hand.

Is the HP 1010 printer a *laser* printer or an *inkjet*?  If it is a
laser printer it is easy, since it is likely a PostScript printer.  You
can pretty much dispense with hp-setup and just hand edit the config
files with a generic postscript ppd file.  It is even better if the
printer is a networked printer.

CUPS is not easy to configure without going though the point-and-click
interface and that interface only really works if the printer is itself
attached to the system.  You can't 'cheat' and configure things 'in
advance'.

You probably won't be able to.  You will be able to be present when the
printer arrives and thus be there when it is plugged in the first time? 
If so, you'll probably just have to perform the magic on the spot.

How did you disable it?

/sbin/chkconfig --list |grep tables
rpm -qa  iptables\*
yum info iptables\*

If you don't care about size or power consumption you should be able to 
pull the hard drive out of just about any old PC and PXE-boot it with 
LTSP, giving you an xdm login.   A few years ago I would have 
recommended the k12ltsp el5 distro (centos + ltsp + some other odds and 
ends already packaged so it comes up working out of the box) but it is 
sort of dated now - although it still is usable if you want ltsp4 which 
supports some older devices.  Google shows evidence of t5545's working 
in that environment.   More current work is with ltsp5 on fedora or ubuntu.

But, if you are intending this as a 2nd terminal for people who already 
have a windows or mac box on their desk, you might try freenx on the 
server, connecting with the NX client from http://www.nomachine.com.  It 
works pretty well running on a 2nd monitor of a windows box, giving the 
effect of a 2nd machine but with cut/paste working between them.

Have a look at Thinstation, it's pretty well designed from the start
and that broadens your choice of hw to just about anything really. I
have used it on a variety of platforms and compiled roms to load all

I use Centos and LTSP 4.2 with a bunch of Neoware Capio 616 terminals

They're no speed demon but they work fine for what we use them for.

Did that, not sure that's the problem (although your message showed up
in the search results :-).

Reason?  As I stated in a previous message on this thread, GIMP can't
load the PDF either - it gets a "Plug-in could not open image" error,
which indicates to me that there's something too Windozey about this
file.  AR has no trouble opening the file on my WXP VM, and even
Photoshop Elements handles it just fine.

You're probably right about that; I'm just not sure whom that would
be.  Adobe doesn't take problem reports from AR or Flash users (unless
you cheat like I've done and lie about who I am and what kind of
service I deserve), the GNOME folks don't like our ancient revisions
and won't support them (which is sad since you can't just pull down a

I looked up the drivers at
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-2140 and
decided to try the hpijs-pcl5e ("recommended driver"), and it prints a
test page just fine, also odts, pdfs, jpgs and pngs, but it doesn't
print this particular pdf either.  The main difference is that it
hangs the print job and lpstat shows this:

$ lpstat -t

Question 1: are you running a brother (or brothers, I don't recall if the brand 
has the s or not)
printer?

If yes, then Q2: Are you running a driver from them (or one of the third party 
repos) or just the
stock CentOS stuff?

Google-ing the following groups is somewhat interesting:
brcupsconfig3
brcupsconfig3  "segfault at"

Not saying there is not a problem, but perhaps there is a problem in a deeper 
place that needs
reported to the appropriate folks.

[CentOS] Setting up a printer without having one

2010-06-01 Thread Marko Vojinovic
Hi folks! :-)

I am supposed to configure this fresh install of CentOS 5.5 to work
nicely with the HP 1010 printer, once it gets connected to the
computer (probably via usb, but I cannot be sure). The problem is that
I will not be anywhere near the machine when the printer actually gets
plugged in, and hp-setup refuses to do anything until that happens.

So how does one configure a to-be-used-in-the-future printer, without
actually having one plugged in? People who are going to use the
machine are noobs, and unlikely to be able to set up the printer
themselves, so it would be a good idea if I could do it in advance.

I haven't done anything like this before, and would be grateful for
any pointers.

TIA! :-)

And now, today, it failed again (both evince and AR), same kind of
file.  The only difference is that this appeared in dmesg:

brcupsconfig3[1548]: segfault at 75616665 rip 00c6fcc3
rsp ff96b9f4 error 6

Guess I have to keep running stuff back through my VMWXP.

Sigh.

I have it running with X, Apache etc running in  a little over 5 GB disk
so 10 GB should be no problem.

 You lie to me, I take revenge by doing what you said without
regard to what you want.
Feed me garbage, I feed you processed garbage.  It's all bits to me.

Thanks.
I want to use a patch for 2.6.34 about zero-overhead .
The error also occurs in some early kernel version.
TO do make menuconfig and load current system config in /boot,  but it is
 not OK.

What is your purpose to try to run a recent vanilla kernel?

That should be "make oldconfig", shouldn't it?
