robroy Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 no rush iccaros, I'll try localhost 631 in a while, have to reboot to do it. As this is only the second distro I have tried I don't know much yet. Couldn't get comfortable with knoppix but I really feel good with this. Learning something anyway.

iccaros Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 just remember the :in all browsers localhost is the name of the machine (it knwo that that work localhost is the same thing as the machine name or the loopback address of 127.0.0.1) ..If that was confusing just type localhostbut you need to enter the port 631 which needs a : to tell the browser this is a port not apart of the nameso its localhost:631also remember you have slapt to add software or driver if you need it.

shanenin Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) I wasted nearly two hours of my day trying to make icccaros linux work with my printer. I guess it was not a total waste, I probably learned something. I am only able to get it to print a small text file. Any other thing I try starts the print job, then aborts. I installed hpijs, and am using a foomatic ppd.edit added later//this was not a crack at your distro. This was more pointing out the fact I spent two hours on something I do not need. I could have been doing something more productiveNot being able to make it work is VERY UNSATISFYING. If I spent two hours and got the satisfaction of a nice print, I would be happy :-) Edited May 9, 2005 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 just wanted to update, I forgot i started this thread, with Ubuntu and a little programming help I found on the Ubuntu boards, my z25 printer is working just like it does in windows, the only thing that it doesn't do is show my ink levels, but thats fine with me, I use both OS's so my windows OS will tell me when I'm low lol.anyone using Ubuntu with that printer can get it running by following the instructions here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php...ark+z35+printer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
