hp deskjet 692c

I'm having trouble printing to my hp deskjet 692c. I chose 'local printer'. RH 7.3 has that exact model listed in printtool (printcof-gui). The sub-listed driver I choose is 'cdj550'. Any kind of print test I do returns, 'There was an error trying to print the test page'. I did a hardware printer test - came out fine. Cable is secure in printer and parallel port. Any ideas?

The best thing to deal with abbreviations is google. You enter ??<the abbreviation> stands?? and that??s it. in this case you can read: RTFM stands for Read the f*****g Manual Bye! --- Visda Vokhshoori <visdav-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org> wrote: > Pardon my ignorance, but what does RTFM stand for? > > TIA, > Visda > > --- Sidney Shapiro <sidney-3Kd7Tu4o6f/sBN0MCq728g at public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Does anyone know of a good course to learn PHP > from > > absolutely nothing? > > Before anyone tells me to RTFM, I would like to > > learn from someone else > > and ask questions :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Does anyone know of a good course to learn PHP from absolutely nothing? Before anyone tells me to RTFM, I would like to learn from someone else and ask questions :) Thanks, Sid -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I have 64MB of RAM, and it too is running slowly. Definitely, I am into swap, so my second strategy for speeding things up is more RAM. My first strategy for speeding things up is to run FVWM2 instead of Gnome or KDE. There are a couple of other small window managers out there, but I have a long history with FVWM. There are a couple of other FVWM freaks in this user group, so you can get help. There was some talk about running an FVWM demo at one of the user meetings. Is there any more interest in this? -- Howard Gibson hgibson-MwcKTmeKVNQ at public.gmane.org howard-42qnO8ePF9cV+D8aMU/kSg at public.gmane.org http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

This piece by Bruce Perens is pretty damning. http://perens.com/Articles/SCOCopiedCode.html One of the alleged pieces of copied code turns out to be available to the open source community via other distinct licenses. Perhaps SCO's team didn't do their homework, hence their unwillingness to expose the alleged violations. Jim -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

6.2 vs. 7.3

Really, the bottleneck is probably all the X thingies she needs. These are needs, right? 6.2 uses a bit less system resources than 7.3, but it has it's faults too... it's no longer supported by redhat. It's also not much of a multimedia -ready desktop compared to 7.3. What I would suggest is that she might try knoppix for a while and see if she (and you) can handle debian. If so, then you'll be off and running with a good little woody install. 8,000+ programs to chose from, and software management is a breeze with apt-get. I was a bit intimidated myself at first moving from redhat, but once I got the idea of apt-get it got a little easier. Most of the configs are in the software, so they're pretty generic across the board. Worth checking out anyways... -- Keith Mastin BeechTree Information Technology Services Inc.

Hi, I have posted a message to this list twice, in the last 2 hours. I have not seen it. It is relative to the SCO vs. Linux debate. Who or what do I need to do or contact to clarify where my email got deleted ? Peter -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
