Craig said > escputil - maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers Package: escputil Source: gutenprint Version: 5.2.9-1 Description-en: maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers escputil is a utility to clean and align the heads of Epson Stylus printers. It can also check the current ink levels in the printer. . Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. Gutenprint was formerly known as Gimp-Print. >Given that the description mentions Gutenprint, I'd guess that it >probably requires you to be using the printer-driver-gutenprint driver >(as mentioned in my last post). if you're not already using it, you'd >have to install it to get this to work. This utilty will work without Gutenprint (it used to anyway, its been a while since I used it), it communicates directly with the port in which the printer is connected. I mainly use it to clean the print heads and to check the ink levels in an Stylus Photo R1800. It absolutely dirnks ink during the cleaning process. Lindsay

fast 3G/4G upload
by Russell Coker 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

A client has a problem with a device that generates data faster than it's 3G modem can upload it. Is there a good LTE AKA 4G modem that can connect to a Linux system? Can you run two 3G modems next to each other and expect that each of them will get full bandwidth? Or will they interfere with each other in some way? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

I'm curious to hear if anyone has used OpenShift (both the RH-hosted and self-hosted opensource version) yet? Any thoughts on it?

free stuff
by Russell Coker 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

I have a Samsung ML-1210 printer that I can give away at the LUV meeting tonight. Let me know ASAP if you want it otherwise it's e-waste. I have a Lenovo Pentium-D desktop PC for anyone who wants it. It can take 4G of RAM if you have 2*2G sticks. It supports two IDE or SATA disks. If you want it let me know if you want a DVD player or a hard drive (the LUV hardware library should have RAM to fit). I won't throw it out immediately so if no-one wants it at this meeting it'll be available next month. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Maildir to mbox
by Russell Coker 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Is there a good program in Debian to convert a Maildir of mail to an mbox file? A quick search only turned up one that is part of the qmail package. I'd rather have something that doesn't conflict with my favourite MTA. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

What's the best way to change the size of a partition? I've got an image for a 2G CF card that I need to change to fit a larger CF card while remaining bootable. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

CCISS data structure
by Russell Coker 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

I have just received a free HP DL-385 system, it's quite a nice server with 16G of RAM, 3*SATA and 5*SAS disks. I want to set it up to run Linux software RAID-1 with Ext4 on a pair of SATA disks for booting and ZFS RAID-Z2 on the 5*SAS disks for data storage. The problem I have is that the boot disks were wiped, the DVD drive is broken and ILO isn't licensed for remote disk access. This combined with the fact that USB booting apparently doesn't work (it doesn't boot with my usual USB boot device) means that I have to make the SATA disks bootable before connecting them. The fact that the HP system takes ages to boot and is really noisy means that I don't want to make dozens of attempts to get it by trial and error. Does anyone know what the CCISS disk format is for a single disk RAID-0 (IE a JBOD)? Presumably there is some offset where I can just put an image of a regular bootable SATA disk and have it work. Thanks. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
