Post by Linu » Mon, 30 Nov 1998 04:00:00



Hi world, I have just installed RH 5.1 and have 2 minor problems
1) My HP Ljet4 prints ok but won't stop I tried printing a text file
using lpr and yes I got 25 copies before it ran out of paper or the
kettle boiled ! Any ideas how to stop at just 1 (I've tried lpr -#1)
am having to resort to Win**** to print stuff :-(
2) Not a show stopper but late night sessions get boring with no sound
I have an Ensoniq EAPCI card and have tried sndconfig but to no avail
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated
TIA  (if you wish to reply by email then its -

AFAIK sndconfig only works for soundblaster cards (and maybe some
clones). I could not find anything about your card in the hardware
compability HOWTO
(http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html).

Just a long shot, try recompiling the kernel with soundsupport. I know
there is support for the soundscape card. It might be worth a try...

Hope it helps.

Under Redhat 5.2, sndconfig can detect and configure lots of other
cards, including Ensoniq's AudioPCI (3270 chip). Don't know if that's
the same as the one in question here?

Mine detects it, and it works fine.

1. setting up printing for a linux *printing* newbie

Hi. I'm trying to get an HP LJ III to work with my linux box. I have
little experience setting up linux printers, so I need direction.

The Printing-HOWTO is pretty useless, it tells me to use Magicfilter
(which I have) but doesn't tell me HOW to make filter files. . .
So what the hell to I put in /var/spool/lpd/lp/filter?

I'm looking to print beyond ASCII text, of course, and I'm assuming I'll
need to set up Ghostscript for that.

Can someone lead me in the right direction??

You know that you spend too much time with Unix if:
- You randomly 'kill -9' processes to rid yourself of aggresion.
- You prefer to write your class papers in VI.
- When taking notes in class, you sometimes catch yourself using C
syntax.
- You have at least once tried explaining to your parents how to send
you
  PGP encrypted email.
