[DNG] Priter trouble again.
I installed CUPS a part of the standard istall long ago. I had no trouble configuring it back the to talk sweet to me printer. Worked fine. Bu tnow it doesn't. The printer seems to hae changed its IP number. Now I can tell it explicitly what IP numder to use by entering stuff in its physical control panel. So all I should have to do is to set its IP number to whatever CUPS (now unsuccessfuly) uses to talk to it. What I don't know is how to get CUPS to tell me what IP number it currently thinks belongs to the printer. There should be some simple way of asking CUPS to tell me this. -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Re: [DNG] Ryzen?

All other things being equal, this is exactly right. But my experience building my "poweruser" computer was that, using a graphics card, I could get a nice Radeon, instead of having to settle for what's on the mobo, possibly a Linux-sabotaging Nvidea. Also, to meet a price-performance point, my mobo had no GPU. So, after trying nVidea and finding it impossible to get to work exactly right, I bought the following very nice low wattage, no fan, relatively cheap Radeon: product: Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] My computer, which was bought and assembled 12.5 months ago, consists of: Motherboard: Micro-Star MAG B550 TOMAHAWK (MS-7C91) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor, 2 threads per core Video: Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] Audio: Was Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] on mobo but jack broke, now C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter (Unitek Y-247A) USB sound card Root partition disk: Micron/Crucial TechnologyCT2000P2SSD8 2TB NVMe Mainly houses /etc and /usr, almost all others mounted Spinning rust disk: 12TB WDC WD141KRYZ-01 RAM: 64GB Case: Gigantic full tower with room to roam, loaded with fans, and all rear USB ports brought out to the front with extension cables. Silly fan lights etc turned off. Fans on full blast all the time, I value cool running.
