recommend a laser printer

2013-05-16 Thread Rob Owens
I'm trying to buy a black and white laser printer for a family member running Wheezy. Can anybody recommend one that you've purchased recently, which used native cups drivers available in Wheezy, which cost $100US or less? Thanks -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.de

I just upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy. I haven't rebooted yet for fear that things will get worse... Currently my system seems to be working fine except that I can't su or sudo from my regular user. I can log in as root. My users are all LDAP authenticated. I took care to properly update the

setting the system mail location

My system mail is getting sent to $HOME/Mail/mbox instead of to /var/spool/mail/rob. I may have set that on purpose a long time ago, but I don't remember. I'd like it to go to the normal mail spool now. How do I set that? -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org
