Hello, List:
My Win98 box froze up about 5 weeks ago while installing the then newest Netscape. i evenutally had to give up and hit the <Reset> key. That fried the Registry, and the old backups didn't work. So, with great relief i was _finally_ able to put rh71 into the box and hang the Win98 directory tree as a relic. i've had medium-poor luck at getting things configured. My printer is an OkiPage 10e, and the driver worked fine for it for about a week -- ending two weeks ago. i don't remember the earliest symptoms of failure, but the current state is that during boot, it gets to (re-typing by hand; please forgive errors) Starting lpd: Winbond Super-IO detection, now testing ports 3F0, 370, 250, 4E, 2E ... Winbond chip at EFER=0x3F0 key=0x87 devid=97 devrev=74 oldid=ff Winbond chip type 83977ATF Winbond LPT Config: cr_30=01 60, 61=0378 70=07 74=03, f0=03 Winbond LPT Config: active=yes, io=0x0378 irq=7, dma=3 Winbond LPT Config: irqtype=pulsed low, high-Z, ECP fifo threshold=0 Winbond LPT Config: Port mode = ECP and EPP-1.9 SMSC Super-IO detection, now testing Ports 2F0, 370 ... and then it hangs forever. i have to <Ctrl-Alt-Del> and then hit 'i' for interactive boot, skip starting lpd, and get in. For awhile, i was getting something to the effect of (don't remember, exactly) Spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 That lasted for about three to five reboots about a week ago, but i didn't notice it tonight, my only reboot since then. When i do # /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd start it hangs forever. In printconf-gui , things seem alright, but when i try to print a test page, it throws up a dialog-box with "There was an error trying to print the test page." In the term window from which i started "printconf-gui &", it shows Status Information: sending job 'root@jwest1+469' to lp0-OkiPage_10e@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - Connection refused Make sure LPD server is running on the server i'll attach a copy of the most recent dmesg and the output of my "ifconfig-a". i would sure appreciate it if someone could help me to get my printer working.
