Re: Photo quality printing with linux

It has good linux support, but, I seem to recall from the documentation, that for high quality photo printing the linux drivers might not be the best choice. I hope I am wrong about that. I do know that two way communication is required for best quality printing, and you can't get that with a samba served printer. So, maybe that is where that impression comes from. I don't think that is the issue. After all, samba does not support two way communication with the printer because SMB does not. So, any network printer on a Windows network would be in the same position. As to communication, it only effects print quality in that with communication you can determine when the printer needs, say, a new print cartridge. If your printer is set up correctly (has the paper type and size you claim in your setup, and had adequate and appropriate ink) then you are set. As said elsewhere here, the specific Linux driver used for your printer is most likely the biggest variable here. -- ++===+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 |Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | ++===+ ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: Slide sorter software: Gettin' there
Seems to me that image magick can overlay graphics using pixel positioning. I would figure that being medical and controled that the graphics are the same dimensions.

SANE driving me IN-SANE.
Got an Optiplex GX400 here that is going out the door to one of my cleints. It is a P4 1.4GHZ with 768MB ram, 80GB IDE, CD-RW/DVD, on-board AC'97 sound, 3Com905 chipset and 2 USB hubs (4 USB device connections). I have added a Tekram DC395 to run a DDS 4 4MM tape drive as well as a DigiBoard EP/X PCI attached to a 16 Port serial controller (To drive a bunch of High-End Dot matrix Printers). I have SuSe 8.0 with all the current patches installed from SuSe as well as the kernel.org USB patch set and the additional scanner.x pre 20. Now, the USB view reports that there is a scanner attached. It is a HP Model 2200C, and has the LM9832 Scanner chipset, so it uses the Plustek drivers. All regular USB probing shows the scanner is there and is attached. Doing a sane-find-scanner reports: # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0605) at /dev/usb/scanner0 found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0605) at /dev/usbscanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0605) at /dev/usbscanner0 # Your USB scanner was detected.

Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. Now, when I run scanimage -L for the first time reports: device `plustek:/dev/usbscanner' is a Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 2200c USB flatbed scanner Any other attempts after that results in a : [plustek] This is not a LM9831 or LM9832 chip based scanner.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). I can unplug and replug the USB scanner in, and then scanimage -L works, again, for the FIRST time only. No amount of rebootin, hard powering off and any other attempts at hardware reset will make it stay attached, and I always get and can repeat the same results.

Suse's YOU and package versions
I just installed the ftp version of Suse 8.1, amazingly easy, albeit a little time consuming. I happen to *like* YaST2 (but, heck, I liked Caldera, so you can't go by me). Fonts aren't *nearly* as good out of the box as RH 8, but KDE seems to work *loads* better (no surprise there, I guess). But I digress... I ran the Online Update part of YaST2 (which I assume is YOU) to get any updates, and there were quite a few (package updates like KDE 3.0.4 along with any security updates -- I like that). It was interesting, though, that several packages listed as updates were versions *older* than those installed (didn't write them down, though...). They were clearly displayed in red so as to distinguish them, but I find it odd that Suse would provide updated packages that were older than the installed packages. Is this normal? I installed Suse on the same test box at work where I installed RH8, and I think this looks like a keeper. At least from my first impressions. I've gotta work out fonts and get OpenOffice installed, but it seems like a much better install process than RH8 (I had a devil of a time working out routing on RH8, and it was painfully simple with Suse). And, as I said, I find YaST2 much easier to work with than RH8's installer/package manager (at least so far...)

IPFW and IPFWCMP (yes, on BSD)
I have some questions for anyone with some IPFW/IPFWCMP experience. NetFilter experience would be beneficial as well... I have a BSDi box I'm trying to get to do some NAT-ing. In Linux 2.4 the NetFilter code incorporated the NAT subsystem previously requiring IP Route2 and/or queueing, etc... Could it be possible that IPFW (since it is supposed to be so good) manages this as well? Here is the problem I am attempting to solve: BigIP loadbalancers from F5 Networks, configured as a Router/LB machine (as opposed to bridging). When accessing a Virtual IP (VIP) from one of the machines behind the BigIP, I am handed off to another node on the same subnet. That machine sees the Src address and attempts to respond directly causing the triangle of death (the originating machine is expecting a response from the Virtual IP, not the node's real address). The BigIP's have a built-in NAT which will NAT the source address for any traffic from specified nodes going through the BigIP's, solving this problem but causing others... I need to be able to control the NAT so that it only NAT's traffic which will go to a another node on the same subnet. In NetFilter I would do something like the following: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s HOST OR SUBNET -d Same Subnet -j SNAT --to-source some outside address to force routing Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give, I know that IPFW is popular even on Linux, and I am hoping someone will be able to figure out my NetFilter translation :) Matt msg07845/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Uploading digital photos
Yeah, the Sony Clie I have works like a champ. The MediStick is recognized when I press the MSimport. I even plugged one of those dual-media USB adaptors in on this boxen and it worked as well. Tried that at home on my son's Win2000PRO game console, and the sucker just grunted ... did not even recgonize anything.

I have a nikon coolpix 950 and have been using Tygemo/PhotoPC (thanks Lonnie) because gphoto doesn't work very well. And I haven't been able to get the gphoto2 toolset working with a GUI (nor have I really had the time to fiddle with it). A card reader has to be faster than the camera itself, not to mention battery where. So here is my question: does anyone know whether any card reader will do the trick (usb of course) or are there specific brands that work better with Linux ? Perhaps this site has some useful information: http://www.linux-usb.org/ In general, cards that use CompactFlash and SmartMedia formats seem to be supported. We've got lots of devices at work that boot from and read CompactFlash all the time (DiskOnChip comes to mind because I played with one of these recently).

Re: convert -verbose imagefile without converting anything
Man, who would have thunk it. identify -verbose image.TIF took 5 secs. convert -verbose image.TIF junk.TIF took one second. Go figure. Also to be wondered at is the fact that man convert doesn't mention identify. I guess you have to read the ImageMagick web page, but, why? They put other programs with the ImageMagick distribution into the man page for convert. Grr.. Documentation, again. I think I have come around to the point of view that nothing beats man pages for documentation. Forget the html stuff. Now, if only the authors of man pages would provide more examples. You would think text files take up a lot of space. Joel On Tue, Oct 29, 2002 at 10:30:45PM -0500, Joel Hammer wrote: Thanks. I think I used to know that, but...

You would think text files take up a lot of space. Joel man convert mentions the ImageMagick(1) manual page in the SEE ALSO section at the bottom. ImageMagick(1), in turn, mentions identify in the first 25 lines. I won't bother to mention man identify. Assuming you are using an RPM-based distribution, RPM will be happy to list the contents of the ImageMagic package, which can be grepped for all sorts of interesting information. But, I'm probably beating a dead horse and you know all of this stuff anyway.

scolinux 1.0 (beta)
I finally broke down and installed sco linux beta. I notice that KDE is very bare as is Gnome. Did not detect the sound card correctly and of course doesn't work (Just like SuSe) no surprise. It did detect everything else correctly. Vidio, network and printer all work great. Looking over config files and can't even see where I can setup the correct sound card. Since this is meant to be server platform, it does look interesting, but not much more. -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B.
