Couldn't find one used for what my Brother HL-5250DN cost new, so I bought the Brother. Only problem has been the HP's would print envelopes better than the Brother. I haven't found any printer that really works well with envelopes (unless you count some Pitney Bowes printers that are designed specifically for printing high volumes of flyers, envelopes and brochures). An original Apple Stylewriter 1200 was exceptional at envelopes. The printer most closely resembled the wringer on my grandmother's classic Maytag washer when I was a kid. Straight path, no bend, printer was about 3 thick. Have been feeding about 1500 envelopes per year between a pair of HP-990 and HP-970 inkjets. The older 970 is faster but doesn't fully release the envelope on eject and will wad it up if one doesn't pull it out before the next starts. The 990 often pauses before starting, then spends extra time with optical sensors looking for page edges. And about half the time pulls a #10 envelope thru cocked at an angle. I use them anyway. Recently the 990 feed screwed up to the point it was not usable. Took it out to the garage and blew it out with compressed air. Didn't find any smoking guns so I didn't have much hope, but that did the trick. Have not been terribly happy with HP inkjets and my statement above is based on the apparent observation the HP inkjet crew has been designing lasers lately. I have an HP Photosmart 7360 that I like, largely because I don't use it very much, and it's designed so that it can through long periods of inactivity without clogging the nozzles. In the HP print driver there is an option deep in the settings for black only. The default setting mixes color with black to print text. Black text looks awful if the color cartridge is empty, but perfectly good if you select the black only option. One thing I'm not happy about is that the printer flat out won't work without a color cartridge, no matter that I'm only printing black. Had an empty color cartridge go bad and the printer quit. Since then I've collected empties from friends to keep around so that the printer will still run if it decides the color cartridge must be replaced again. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It has a real CPU (ie, not windoze controlled) with 8MB memory, native postscript, PCL 5, and PCL 6 at 15 pages/min and a 1/2 ream paper tray. Only possible drawback is it's USB. New toner carts' are $50 - $70 and yield 4000 - 6500 pages for me. The wife I have run over 30K pages through it in 4 years, no problems.

That seems to still be the going price. Have no regrets. Prints both sides, ethernet and USB interfaces, rated 30 ppm and prints faster than any printer we have at work. Postscript-3 clone and PCL-6. Works perfectly from MacOS and FreeBSD, altho I almost never use it from FreeBSD and can't really say I've given it a FreeBSD workout. As an early adopter it took a while for aftermarket refills to hit the market but the rated 7,000 page refill is under $20. Only difference I have noticed is the smell, and its only different, not better, not worse. Am a little concerned about the cost of replacing the drum, rated for 25,000 pages. Going rates for Bother toner + Brother drum is almost the same as a new HL-5250DN printer. With any luck the resurfaced drum companies will be ramped up by the time I need one. No point in running an envelope thru this printer, it wrinkles. Shortly after making my purchase some were running a special including an optional paper tray which would hold a full ream. The special bundled all that at the same $250 I paid. Have not seen that extra tray offered since. As for the price, I'm thinking of 100 000 HUF (about 400 EUR) as *very* maximum.

My suggestion would be a used HP LaserJet 4050, preferably with a JetDirect network interface. I've used them as network printers for FreeBSD with excellent results, they're built well and cheap to run. Have not tried toner refilling, though. You could probably buy a color laser with mostly-empty starter toner at this price, but replacing supplies could cost as much or more than the printer. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would like to make a cd installation possible, however i am quite confused. I have windows xp machine right now and was wondering what to download. can you help me? Welcome to FreeBSD. As a complete beginner, we recommend that you start with the production release: 4.9-RELEASE. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/announce.html Detailed documentation about installing the system chan be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html However you've said you want to cut yourself some installation CDs. You need to download .iso images from one of the FTP sites: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html The Mirror Sites database is very handy for locating this sort of thing: http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php However essentially you will want to go here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.9/ or the equivalent directory on one of the mirrors. There are 3 iso images available: 4.9-i386-mini.iso This is the minimum set of stuff you need to get FreeBSD installed. Note that this *doesn't* contain anything other than the basic FreeBSD system. So, for instance, if you want X windows (you probably do), you'll have to download it separately once you've got the OS installed. 4.9-i386-disc1.iso This contains the same stuff as the mini .iso above plus quite a lot of extra useful stuff -- it's 3x the size of the mini-iso. You need either this or the mini-iso. 4.9-i386-disc2.iso This is a live-filesystem image which you can boot and run from. It's principal use is for repairing systems where the normal boot process has been broken. It's nice to have around, but you don't have to have it for doing the installation. The CHECKSUMS.MD5 file just contains this text: MD5 (4.9-i386-disc1.iso) = 9195be15a4c8c54a6a6a23272ddacaae MD5 (4.9-i386-disc2.iso) = 51d28c35308cc916b9a9bfcacb3146b8 MD5 (4.9-i386-mini.iso) = 2635f02aebce8e1c2b83d1acdbbcb2ea which lets you verify that there were no errors in the image you downloaded by comparing this checksum against a checksum you can generate locally. Again, not necessary for installation, but useful to do. If you were to buy the 4-CD installation set from one of the vendors (http://www.freebsdmall.com/ or http://www.bsdmall.com/), you'ld get precisely these disc1 and disc2 versions as the first two CDs with another 2-CDs worth of precompiled 3rd party software packages. When you come to generate the installation CDs, beware that you don't end up with a CD that contains just the one .iso file, rather than expanding the .iso into a whole load of stuff: check the archives of this list for details of exactly what you need to do with various CD burning software -- http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ is a good site to use for that.

grip cd ripper - which one
Hello All I'm looking for a ripping utility to tell grip to use to pull tracks from an audio cd - which one does everybody use? The default is cdda2wav which isn't in the ports collection. I see a few other rippers in the ports collection, but I like grip - which ripping utility should I tell it to use?

Which one is the right FTP?
Ok, got a slight dilemma. Installed ProFTPD just a few days back and was trying to fire up my FTP server using /usr/libexec/ftpd. Well low and behold, that's still the default FTP server for Freebsd. I thought that when you installed ProFTPD it overwrote that. If no, then where did it put it? Thanks for the help.

Ports should *not* overwrite the base system.
To find out how a port installed itself, use the pkg_info(1) command.
In this case, I think you'll find ${PREFIX}/libexec/proftpd
is what you're looking for, assuming you haven't redefined your ports
prefix.
