Re: Sending a 2-byte file to my local USB printer

>Bad printers have USB or something. I don't know about them. When using USB printers on Debian the particular kernel creates a device file which one can use to directly communicate with the printer. I have an Epson R1800 on one of my machines. The device file for it is /dev/usb/lp0, Note: the kernel only creates this when the printer is connected,this is used so I can read the ink levels as there appears to be no other way. Try sending the file this way. Lindsay

Sending a 2-byte file to my local USB printer
by Carl Turney 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi, I work at home. One computer (Linux Mint Qiana), one printer (Lexmark E230), connected by USB cable. Ever since installing Mint, I've had to cold-cycle my printer between every print job. Otherwise, subsequent print outs are not the intended document, but rather a string of random characters and form-feeds, starting with "PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL) HP-PCL XL;1;1" Have asked in the past for fixes here at LUV, on Mint & Ubuntu forums and on CUPS & Linux printer forums. Nothing effective as a response. So... I think that just shooting Esc E (27 69 in decimal, or 1b 45 in hex) at the printer between each job =might= kludge a fix. (Unfortunately, I can't make CUPS use a 2-byte binary file as the entirety of a header or footer banner. So that approach won't work.) Creating the 2-byte file would be easy enough: Some hex editor. And I vaguely recall how I'd do it in MSDOS: Create a batch file that contains the line... copy resetprn.txt lpt1: But I'm not sure how to ... 1. - identify my printer (as a target) within the Linux filesystem 2. - make a similar shell script into an executable icon on my desktop Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carl Bayswater, Vic

I am looking for an small application that along with normal apointments will except statements something like "2nd saturday in the month, local Market". I am positive there was somekind of calendar that did that but I can not find anything that suits. Note: It ___must___ be stand alone and it ___can_not____ use the internet. I am still using dial up. Linux since kernel 0.96d, Lindsay

Hi, Am finding lots of web pages that tell me how to take screenshots. Fine. I'll hit PrtScr. Where ARE those image files? What's the default save directory? I'm using Linux Mint Qiana 17. Thanks, Carl Bayswater, Vic

The LibreSSL project continues improvement of the codebase to reflect modern, safe programming practices. We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community. Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release possible.

Upgrading email server
by Daniel Jitnah 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi All, I am upgrading/migrating an email server from: Ubuntu 10.10, Postfix, Popa3d, Spamassassin and Mailscanner using Pop on 110 to Ubuntu14.04 Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassassin and Amavis using Pop on 995 also This is fresh install of Ubuntu1404 on new hardware. All user files and accounts detail have been transferred. My problem is that I am having difficulties transferring users with Outlook 2007 clients. Outlook 2007 will not login to the new server for POP user that were on the old server But new users wil same Pop (and smtp setting) will login no problem and have full email functionality Login (userame and password) using old server account details work on new server as expected after transferring. Using Outlook 2003 everything works well. Using telnet, openssl command line for pop, smtp and imap work fine (with TLS, SSL and unencrypted) Anyone ideas why outlook 2007 wont work?? and if so how can I fix it? (OK I know.. no one should use Outlook!! But too many ppl still do!) Daniel.

"... And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: LibreSSL 2.1.5 released Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:54:33 -0500 From: Brent Cook <busterb(a)gmail.com> To: announce(a)openbsd.org, tech(a)openbsd.org We have released LibreSSL 2.1.5, which will be arriving in the LibreSSL directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This or earlier LibreSSL releases may also address issues that are to be revealed by The OpenSSL Project Team on the 19th of March, 2015. The LibreSSL team is not typically apprised of OpenSSL-related security issues in advance. We will address any previously-unknown issues that are found to affect LibreSSL in future releases. Issues addressed since 2.1.4: * Fix incorrect comparison function in openssl(1) certhash command. Thanks to Christian Neukirchen / Void Linux. * Windows port improvements and bug fixes. - Removed a dependency on libgcc in 32-bit dynamic libraries. - Correct a hang in openssl(1) reading from stdin on an connection. - Initialize winsock in openssl(1) earlier, allow 'openssl ocsp' and any other network-related commands to function properly. * Reject all server DH keys smaller than 1024 bits. The LibreSSL project continues improvement of the codebase to reflect modern, safe programming practices. We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.

Compiling in FC22
by Robert Brown 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Hi I am trying to compile a module for FC22 Rawhide on an A10 device (MK802ii) with a uname -r of 3.19.0-0.rc7.git3.1.fc22.armv7hl but am getting a truncated vermagic: vermagic: 3.19.0-rc7 SMP mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 The .config I am using is a copy of the /boot/config-3.19.0-0.rc7.git3.1.fc22.armv7hl. I have tried editing LOCALVERSION without success. If I edit the Makefile from the rpmbuild process to: SUBLEVEL = 0-0 EXTRAVERSION = rc7.git3.1.fc22.armv7hl or to SUBLEVEL = 0 EXTRAVERSION = -0.rc7.git3.1.fc22.armv7hl I still only get vermagic: 3.19.0-0.rc7 SMP mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 The version.h file generated in include/generated/uapi/linux/ says #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 201472 whereas the one in /usr/include/linux/version.h says #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 201728 Any tips on where to go with this?
