Printer setup

2000-04-14 Thread Hermit
Hi All - I am new to Linux, and have a question about setting up my printer. I have a HP DeskJet 820Cse for Windows printer. I have been told that to setup any printer I have to go to /etc/conf.modules and add the following line: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc but I cannot find

IP addressing conventions

2000-04-14 Thread Matthew McCleary
I was wondering if someone could tell me, what does it mean when someone writes an IP address as something like "192.168.1.0/24" ? What does the "/24" mean? I kind of got the impression that it implies that they own IP's 1 through 24, but maybe not. Could it be some sort of netmask? -- .\\ --

It means a 24 bit netmask. in binary a 24 bit mask would look like ... which = 255.255.255.0 Very useful info to learn if you need to subnet or supernet your network. Clay - Original Message - From: "Matthew McCleary" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

lpd difficulties

2000-04-14 Thread Matthew McCleary
I'm trying to print from one Linux box to another. One is running Redhat 6.1, the other some old Slackware distro (for some reason the boss believes Slackware is the way to go on servers ... whatever). But anyway. I have successfully set up an HP LaserJet 5L printer on lpt0 on our server, and

Matthew -- Are you certain that "lpd is running on ... printhost"? It doesn't need to be actually running as a daemon for local printing to occur -- it will be started by the local lpr as needed -- but it does need to be running as a daemon for remote printing to work. And you report lpc on (I
