Good news: blender is now free

The blender 1.5 manual is dated October 1998. The program could be downloaded with most features available. Through a small fee you were able to get a key file to unlock some additional features. The program went open source July 12 of last year. For more details (and a one year report on the program's development since it became OS), take a look at: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=62… (The above URL should be all on one line with no spaces.) -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Well you could install the cupsys printer system (much much better than lpr/lpd) and the approrpaite cupsomatic/foomatic packages to get http://localhost:631 working and see if using the web interface it works then. It has a pretty good list of printers and ports to choose from. Assuming the cable is right, that should do something. Well hopefully. Lennart Sorensen -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

sign your name to support the Canadian SCO response
by btraynor-zC6tqtfhjqE＠public.gmane.org 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

If you would like to publicly support the work of the Canadian Linux Interests Coalition (CLIC) in organizing a Canadian response to SCO's attacks, you can now do so -- visit http://www.linux.ca/clic/endorse.shtml to learn how. Three ocluggers have already stepped forward, and the more endorsements CLIC has--from across Canada--the better we can show a united oppostion to SCO. Thanks Bill -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

If these guys keep working on You don't really need to buy the docs to get started. There are plenty of tutorials on the web. If you still like it afterwards, buy the docs ;-) I agree that the learning curve is very steep. I used Blender before (came with better Linux distros as payware demo since 1999 or before). I am very impressed by the speed even on substandard hardware and by the *size*. This is a 3d animation studio with game scripting capability that weighs in under 3Megs !!! Microsloth has a lot to learn about getting animations right and code small (and fast!). Peter -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

HP692C is a winprinter of sorts afaik. It won't respond to your test code. Peter -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

That said, to get going is harder than I though with the layout not being very intuitive and having to buy the docs to get started. If these guys keep working on it, perhaps they can jazz up the interface to rival 3DS or similar. I am a total convert to the cross platform compatibility aspect, its amazing that you can work on your MAC/PC, and throw the file onto a linux box for rendering without problems. In my tests, I was getting 50-100% speed improvements, if not higher. Sid -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
