modem troubles
by Amit Upadhyay 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

hi, i have got an internal modem, and it works fine on my comp [got drivers etc for linux]. now i want to install it in a lab comp, and that comp is really old [had to take apart three junk PCs to assemble one working one, and still not sure if everything is fine]. neways, there are two free pci ports and i have tried the modem on both. the problem is: i am expecting linux to detect the device atleast, and show it in lspci/cat /proc/pci etc. but it isnt. i remember harddrake showing a red entry for the modem [as winmodem] when i had not installed the drivers on my PC, but here it just says "cant load serial module" when starting up and doesnt show any modem. i tried changing bios settings to do the pnp stuff itself with autmatic setting. but despite everything lspci is not showing the modem :(( its eating up a lot of my time, and got to get this working before i cud proceed. please let me know if u have ideas on how to deal with this. tia, -- amit upadhyay

Printing from GNU/Linux m/c -> Windows m/c
by Shashank Ashtikar 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Hello Everyone, I am trying to share a printer connected to windows98 m/c. I am using cups to manage printing from GNU/Linux box. The printer is an Epson dot matrix 24 pin series printer. on the windows98 m/c printer is shared(no authentication required) and is visible in the Network Neighbour Hood as shared. In cups I tried few settings but results have not been encouraging at all. Setting 1 Deviece URI : smb://1.2.3.4:80/printer_name Driver selected was Epson 24 series. But after these settings I get error saying "Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFULL" The log level setting for cups is at debug2 but the error log also shows the same statement nothing more. Setting 2 Device URI : ipp://1.2.3.4/printer_name or Device URI : http://1.2.3.4/printer_name Driver was the same as in above case. After doing this setting I get an error saying "host 1.2.3.4 is busy or is down will retry in 30 seconds." and then the same line is also present in the error log. Printing to the same printer is posible from another windows machine. but cups is having trouble. Suggestions anybody. Thanks in Advance Shashank
