Once it is done, I can fix permissions if needed. It also means I can run whatever command without having to see who I am logged in as first as well. So why do you have a user dale at all? Because there is a difference in having a Konsole open as root and browsing the internet, editing images with GIMP, checking my emails, playing a card game and other things that don't require a root Konsole. I keep the Konsole open for those things that commonly need/require root privileges such as editing config files, running scripts in /root, backups and a few other things. Each has its use. I use each one for what I need to get things done. Dale :-) :-)

You don't need a queue for ipp, unlike say for lpd: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html From the results above it does not seem like ipp is supported (you got a 405) but I am not sure. You can try this to see if it reports an ipp or other server version running on that port: nmap -A -T4 -P0 -vvv printer's IP address -p 631 -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Sorry for the late response, I had some ideas last night... Here are 4 packages/flags/protocols that you should research and see if they work. If Debian or Ubuntu have this printer working, it would be keen to put one of those machines and your printer on an isolated subnet and run wireshark to see what protocols are at work. avahi\zeroconf dbus foomatic snmp (snmpwalk, snmpget, net-analyzer/mbrowse Also connect to the 'embedded web server' built into most modern printers. First setup the IP address of the printer from the printer menu, then ping the printer from your linux system (fills arp table) and then type in the IP address from your browser on your linux system and the printers web server should respond. Maybe something needs to be turned on from the menu system in the printer's embedded web server? Have wireshark running on another linux system to sniff the sessions. Isolate (filter) wireshark to the protocol(s) you want to capture/study. SNMP might also give you clues as to the error. You are most likely just missing something simple (at least once you discover the problem).

[gentoo-user] eix-sync and validated Portage tree snapshots
Hi list, I'm configuring Portage to pull and validate tree snapshots. I used to update with eix-sync, which uses emerge --sync and I wonder if there is a way to force eix to use emerge-webrsync? Right now I've hooked eix-update in to /etc/portage/postsync.d however I still miss the convenience of eix-sync updating the main tree and overlays and diff-ing it all. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dragostin Yanev

Anyone playing with wayland already? Maybe even using it as daily driver ? I did some steps to compile and use it on my systems ... so far I wasn't able to start up gnome 3.12 (~ gnome-shell) with gdm here. Is it possible already? Stefan

And if it would be a license issue the setting of ACCEPT_LICENSE=* will not fix it. To cite myself: I downloaded that file manually. It turns out, that Orcale offers version dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.7.0.65 in the meanwhile. An according bug was filed. When will the ebuild it be updated? So, I downloaeded that file and the version mismatch. The version ebuild wants is not offered by oracle. The bug is already filed. Stroller already posts a hint for a workaround. But the real solution is a fix by the devels in the ebuild itsself. Best regards, mcc
