He WhoDo, as glasses go, my father back in Canada always had $300+ plus glasses, until one day he went to a dollar store, they had glasses already made with different prescriptions, so he said what the heck might as well try them out, and they worked, he now pays like $2.00 a pair, I've seen them in some shops in Australia also I think Go-Lo has them, maybe check them out. or next time your going by cheap shops, just pop your head in and ask if they have them, They make a great backup pair.

re-printing to a window shared printer, I pointed this out the other day in the RC1 thread - looks like it's a permissions thing on the smb.conf (does CUPS run as nobody and samba as root?)

I did a chmod 666 on smb.conf and the problem goes away. You still need to put a valid Windows user in the URL as in;

"smb://administrator@win-machine/printer-share"

- it does work without the username but you'll see a root cache error and not get feedback from the windows printer (like progress etc).

RC2, still no joy with printing via Officejet G85. It seems to configure the printer OK with the Gutenprint driver, but will not print a test page.
Gutenprint has worked before for me albeit on earlier Puppy versions.

I wonder if the kernel used in RC2 is the culprit here.

Also RC2 does not successfully load the driver for my ATI Radeon 3450 card. I have to say though that the only version of Puppy that has ever been able to do that is a Woof dPup that I built using Woof Alpha2.

Sadly though, this dPup also won't print via CUPS either.

So its back to Debian Lenny or Intrepid for me until these problems get resolved one way or the other.

Most modern screens, CRT too, do not require screensavers.
If you are watching a movie every 600 secs the screen goes blank . . .
I spend all my time wiggling the mouse, so to speak, during movies . . .

So maybe the default for menu / desktop / pupX should be screensaver OFF? Cool

From now on call WhoDo Jimmie.

" The term toe cutter is Australian slang for a person who lives
by torturing other criminals, then robbing them.
As the name implies the torture usually involves painful removal
of the digits or in some cases the complete foot.
Few victims ever inform since their loss has been acquired illegally.
An infamous toe cutter was "Jimmie the Pom".

Although I couldn't get my printers to work...
crappy Linux support for Oki C3100 colour laser
and Brother MFC-425CN....
at least they showed up... a first for me.

So a good start....No PPD Files?????for these printers.

I have a customer who'd like Maltese TV to work.
I can't seem to get that going.
I rescued his laptop ages ago and he really liked Puppy 4.12?

I will retry.
Anyway great work from all.
Looking good and having fun.

Chris.
