Epson Photo Stylus 1270 setup...
Could someone walk me through the process of getting this printer up and running under fbsd? It's connected via USB. I know the connection is good because the printer generates output. The output is garbage, however. I don't know if I have printcap entry for this printer correct. I'm installed gimp-print. Thanks.

kw:printing, usb, epson photo stylus 1270...
Howdy, folks. I'm wishing, I am, to get an Epson Photo Stylus 1270 working on a USB port. I know the connection is working due to output. However, the output is not what I want. It's garbage. I created a simple printcap entry by cloning an existing entry and changing the parameters appropriately. However, I am not doing any filtering before the signal goes on the wire to the printer. (It's been a while since I last got this working under FBSD and Linux and I can't remember what I did. In fact, I can't find my notes either which I'm pretty good about keeping.) So,..., when I print from GIMP I would get pages and pages of junk rather than a graphic image. I setup the GIMP to print to appropriate device (Epson Photo Stylus 1270), paper quality, print quality, etc. And viola. Junk. Now I print to file and examine contents. Well, it's sure not Postscript. I send this to the printer directly by copying it to the USB port. Junk. Okay, now I trying sending a plain text file to the device. Nothing. Now I'm wondering if I should be filtering the output before sending it to the printer. You help, of course, if more than appreciated. It's invaluable. Thanks.

getting images off a digital camera...
I am getting a Sony DSC-F717 digital camera and I'm wondering if there are any software tools under fbsd to get the images off of it via USB? Also, does anyone know if there is similar for reading memory sticks via a USB memory stick reader or whatever they're called?

Re: getting images off a digital camera...
Chad, I'm not familiar with USB storage devices. I have a USB scanner and printer and that's the extent of my experience with USB under any OS. Could explain in more detail what you do? Then again I'm asking this in part out of time constraints: I haven't looked at mounting a USB device in the man pages yet. Thanks for you help. I have a biology exam right now that looks like it's going to be a killer. I'm outta here.

Re: [notspam] Re: getting images off a digital camera...
Chad, Thanks again. That helps. In another post David Kelly suggest gphoto2 in ports/graphics. I looked into this and it does support the DSC-F707. So, perhaps it will work with the F717, too. Also, it supports your camera. I think I will try both approaches and see how they compare. Of course (doesn't it figure) I compile my kernel without USB mass storage support. Oh, well. It's about time for another kernel compile :-) Thanks again. Alex On Mon, 2003-03-03 at 17:21, Chad Albert wrote: All I have to do is mount it as if it were a regular drive on the system. I think the generic kernel has support for USB mass storage devices, so plug your camera in and make note of it's device name then mount it as if it were an msdos drive.

Re: 4.7: Odd 'man' behavior
I experience the same symptoms, so I'll third this topic. I've noticed that it appears to happen only with man pages that belong to the system. When I man a non-system manpage, it works as expected whether running with X or without. (I was wondering if it might be X related. Just a thought. Apparently not.)

Re: simple find command
Matt,
It's unclear from your post whether you mean to find files that
*contain* foo or files where foo is in the filename. Here are the
two scenarios acted out.
[1] Remove files that contain foo.
cd directory/where/files/reside
grep -r -i foo ./*
cd'ing into where the files are is not strictly necessary. I like to
do this for safety reasons if I mistype. Otherwise you may place the
directory at the end of the grep command line as
grep -r -i foo /directory/where/files/reside
Do the resultant files meet your expectations?
Check this before deleting them. It might be
safer to move them to a holding directory first.
Then delete them when you're beyond any quivering
feelings of doubt.
grep -r -i foo ./* | xargs rm -v
I'm assuming there might be subdirectories where the files are. If
not or you don't want to get into them, then remove -r in the grep
command.
[2] Remove files that have foo in their filename.
find /directory/where/files/reside -name *foo* -print \
-exec rm {} \;
Again, the caveat about checking your results before deleting is
repeated here. The slash at the end of the line above (after -print)
is because the line is too long in this email. This is the shell escape
for line continuation. You can experiment with it.
Perhaps this clears up some of the other posts.

Re: Can I delete /usr/src ?
Yes. However, if you have custom kernel configuration files in /usr/src/sys/i368/conf, then save them some place safe if you have not done this already. Then remove with rm -rf /usr/src/* This will leave the /usr/src directory. An alternative is to tar and compress /usr/src with tar czf /tmp/usr-src-2002.11.05-archive.tar.gz /usr/src I've given my favorite archive naming convention. You can use it or use your own. When done, delete /usr/src as above. You can always CVSup the source again at a later time. Of course, if you still have concerns that have not been addressed here or I've gone astray from your original question, then don't delete anything until you get them answered.

Re: Resolving hostnames takes forever
Wow. This has been extremely useful to me, too. I have virtually the same setup and problem. If I'm understanding what you [Dr Seaman] are saying, if I analyze the dns packet data, I might be able to determine if my ISP's DNS software is broken? I would like to try this because I have a suspicion this is very likely. Finally, would it be worth while to run my own DNS server? Will setting it up be more trouble than it's worth? Thanks, Doc.

Thanks to the list for such great information. I have installed mta and am currently running it. How to interpret the data correctly is the next step. I'm looking into bind.

Re: release build
When you say, release build, I'm assuming you mean a kernel and base system. If this is the case, then, yes. It's pretty easy. [1] place your custom configuration in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (or link to it there) [2] read the top part of /usr/src/Makefile [3] you might want to create|configure /etc/make.conf by setting KERNCONF. For an additional 30M or so you can compile for both machines. [4] Assuming you have the two machines networking, setup nfs so that you can install from the PIII. This answer goes beyond what you asked with the nfs stuff. But there you have it anyway. No cross compiling. This is a basic overview. Questions?

J U S T A S U G G E S T I O N If this machine is critical to you, you might want to consider determining which system/kernel source it's built off of and cvsup'ing that source, buildworld, etc and make a backup, knowing that you can restore to your original system.

Re: make (build options)
Lute, You will want to invoke the following: make -DWITH_PSPELL install I apologize, but I don't know where this is/might be documented. However, it's a pretty general rule that you can go into any ports directory and look through the Makefile. Scan for if defined or if !defined, etc. In the sylpheed-claw port Makefile, there is a menu of options that are shown when compilation begins. NOTE: In some ports you will want to set variables, such as make WITH_GIMP=yes install Which is not the same thing as defining a variable (in case you don't already know this).

Re: Yes, but how do I upgrade?
Steve, Have you looked at the notes in /usr/src/Makefile? Also a thought: since you're dealing with a production machine, would it be easier to build an updated duplicate and migrate information to the new machine? Then you have not left in the cold should something go wrong. You can then duplicate the process on the production machine and you have two up-to-date systems.
