[EUG-LUG:427] Linux Printing

2001-12-06 Thread Dexter Graphic
Is it just my ignorance or does Linux not work very well with anything but a Postscript printer? My HP DeskJet prints using Ghostscript but it takes about 4 minutes per page (at 300 dpi) and there is no option for duplexing. I've read that the HP 4050 laser printer works really well with Linux

I had an amazingly good game of Glines yesterday evening. I scored 786! My previous high was 456 and I usually end up scoring between 200 and 300. I've been playing it for about two months and I was starting to think that a score above 500 was impossible. Last week I tried downloading the

Check out CUPS, I'm sure you know... but there are so many front-ends for it, you could configure it with webmin even, afaik. If that doesn't work (to your satisfaction), why not try wine or maybe vmware (free demo anyway). I'm constantly amazed that there are so many printers out there

What printer do you have? My HP990cxi is networked, works good and is almost as fast as printing as a local WinDoze printer. I use Webmin to configure it using Webmin's HP970 drivers. The only thing I can't do, yet, is duplex. Cheers Dexter Graphic ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Is it just my

Mine's a 1120C, although it's on the parallel port not the network. Does your printer by any chance support Postscript? Maybe Webmin has a better set of drivers. Is it open source or a proprietary add-in? -Dex From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bob Crandell Sent:
