This may turn out to be two problems before I'm done, but this is definitely the first if such be the case. I bought a new HP, 1310 series; plugged it into a USB port, and rebooted; Fedora Core 1 ran kudzu, and told me it had configured the printer. So I opened pine 4.62 and tried to print a message. It couldn't use lpr, cups, nor CUPS as the default printer. Then I brought up a page in Epiphany and tried again. The only difference I saw was that at least pine had given me an error message. Once I can print, there *may* be another problem. We run three printers and five computers. One is a Lexmark, which I declared to be a single-purpose machine rather than fight any more with trying to get a driver for linux; it does work with XPPro, which dual-boots on one machine with FC1 (two hard drives); I mention it only to get it out of the way, hoping it'll prove irrelevant. One is an old HP 1100 series, presently a dedicated printer for my wife's desktop, one floor down; it'll probably have to stay that, though I'd rather not. There are two FC1 machines (counting the dual-boot) and an FC2 on my desk, and a G3 iBook floating wirelessly about the house. All five connect to the same wireless router -- and so does an itty-bitty Linksys printserver, about the size of a pack of cigarettes. After I get all the machines I can configured to use the 1310 via direct USB cable, says Linksys, I can just plug the USB cable from the 1310 into the printserver, and they should all share. Says Linksys. I hope that's right. But I am not sanguine. -- Beartooth Implacable, Linux Evangelist & Gadfly neo-redneck, curmudgeonly codger with FC1&2, YDL4, XPPro Pine 4.62, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.1; Opera 7.54, Firefox 1.0 Bear in mind that I have little idea what I am talking about. -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
