The PASTA W BASTA idea is not that good... Maybe we can greater at
Augustiner Braustuben and make up a table  It's close to the main
station..

That sounds good I can bring some colleagues.  Since we do our daily

lpd(8) network printing

[Philipp Westphal]

Hello to all of you,

I just had the idea to use my OpenBSD box in combination with an old
HP-Laserjet 4* to provide network printing.

oh ... before i forgett it 'S OpenBSD current, from today (but i have the same
problems running 4.9  rel. or stab.).

I have no problems with local printing but when it comes to remote printing
that is what i can read in /var/log/lpd-errs:

i remember having similar problems back in 1998 running FreeBSD, i think a
patch did the job back then, is here someone whoo can tell me more about that?
I didn't find anything about network printing within the FAQ,

 Daniel, what you think is a nice exotic sports car ?

 So maybe OpenBSD isn't all flashy and gaudy like that Lamborghini, but then
 I wasn't concentrating on that.

  through, Although one canb t convert a Ford car to a Lamborghini
  motorcar, you can transform your computer to a high-performance
  machine.
 
  [..]
 
  ...your comparison works in another way as well: A Lamborghini is a car
  like Jaguar, etc. that you never would use as your primary
  transportation tool as every repair will take a unpredictable amount of
  time at specialised garages that are 300 miles away.
 
 
  But OpenBSD is not needing special treatment. I'm using stable on several
 computers, not wanting to get into using -current just yet. Should I infer
 from your statements that -current is that unpredictable ?
 
 
  Your primary vehicle will be something that is reliable, commonly used
  and well supported. Especially if you need it to make money with it. I
  believe that one of the major disadvantages of OpenBSD is the lack of
  installation support / guarantee by hardware suppliers. This could
  smash your whole roll-out timetable, so our multi purpose trucks
  will always run an Enterprise Linux.
 
 
 So just do research on the internet. Granted, it may not be possible to use
 a given operating system on the latest hardware, but then people and
 corporations (legally persons as well, in U.S. jurisprudence) should
 contribute hardware to the developers for testing. Imagine what you could do
 with OpenBSD on an HP n90, hmm. Yeah, old hardware, but still.
 
 
 
  But no doubt: Some applications like packet filtering / manipulation,
  ALG or routing run pretty smart on OpenBSD. Meanwhile we circumvent
  the problems caused by the lack of hardware supplier's support by
  abstracting hardware dependencies with the help of virtualizing
  platforms like VirtualBox (offering some OpenBSD-templates) or ProxMox
  (KVM / Other).
 
  Regards,
   Tobias.
 
 
 I don't like virtualization from a technical standpoint, if I have the
 resources to run natively. I only recently started using Virtualbox on my
 family's computer for testing purposes. That computer needs to be ready at
 all times. Does it work ? Yes, it's even speedier than I expected. I'd
 rather have a rack in my computing area with dedicated hardware. For the
 time being, I just use a bunch of hard drives, a mix of IDE and SATA. The
 only thing is, this core2 system isn't capable of hot-swapping, at least
 that wasn't on the list of features. I'm not anxious to test that feature at
 this time. I don't want to take a chance on breaking it again.
 
 MfG,
 Daniel
