Re: pkgin: how to remove all package

[Ivan "Rambius" Ivanov]

Hello,

Thank you for the link. The examples in it use pkg_delete, though. Are
there plans to extend pkgin remove with similar functionality?

Re: Printing to networked printers?

I've tried cups, and given up as it is just too complex and over-
engineered and I don't want to have to understand the insides in
order to get it to work.





Am I doomed to keep my windows laptop around forever, just so I

that I'm missing to get this to work?  Is there a better filter
to use as a starting point?



It is beginning to look like I am doomed to keep the laptop around
(as a "print server") forever.  I got nowhere getting CUPS to work.

I've tried the old-fashioned way of using the print/magicfilter
package, but that invokes ghostscript for the final ps -> PCL3
conversion step, and ghostscript simply won't produce an output
file that works with my printer.  I've attempted to get help from
the ghostscript community, that has produced no viable results.
To paraphrase their responses, "we don't have anyone maintaining
the PCL3 driver, and we don't have anyone who has/knows your
printer;  please try CUPS+hplip which should just work."  Well, it
doesn't "just work."

Debugging this mess is becoming a full-time job, and even though I
am retired and have the time available, this is NOT a job at which
I want to work this hard!.

So, rather than approaching this problem from the direction of
making my "HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2545" printer work on NetBSD, I
thought I would turn the problem on its side and ask if there is
_anyone_ out there who is printing on NetBSD with the following
requirements, and can provide me with complete and detailed set-up
instructions/examples?

1. Exact/specific printer make and model, which must be
   currently available on the open market.
2. Printer must support WiFi connectivity (hard-wired
   connection is not an option in my environment)
3. The configuration/set-up must be capable of printing
   plain-text and .pdf files.  It is desired that it
   also be capable of printing image files (jpeg, etc.)
4. Printer must also work with Windoze, without needed
   any re-configuration or other set-up changes to
   switch between Windoze and NetBSD
5. Printer price must be less than US$250 and must be
   "new" - not "used" and not "refurbished".  (If I
   need to buy a new printer, it will have to last me
   for a while, so it must be current/recent and must
   come with some sort of support/warranty.)
6. Hopefully the printer will be available here in the
   Philippines.  If I have to import it from elsewhere,
   that would increase the total cost.
7. Note that I would prefer an ink-jet style printer,
   but would not reject a laser printer solution.
8. Similarly, I would prefer something with a _native_
   postscript interpreter (or emulator), but since that
   seems to be quite difficult to find, I'm happy with
   running a rasterizer on the NetBSD system.  But ONLY
   if it is ABSOLUTELY KNOWN TO WORK!  :)  (I keep
   getting comments like "the 2540 Series is supported,
   so it should just work", but it doesn't...)

Anyone got any suggestions?
