Subject:   CUPS problem

I couldn't get my Epson Stylus Color 680 to work. It wouldn't switch on, 
probably due to years in storage so I then dug out a Canon BJC-255SP 
printer which I used years ago with  a laptop. That works but is very 
slow printing. Thought about buying a new printer but can't find 
anything that is listed on the RU site that is available here. Any 
locally sold printers also don't have CUPS listing.

A friend gave me a HP psc 1315 printer and I am able to get it to work 
in Ubuntu although CUPS doesn't have the exact driver so it should work 
using CUPS in eCS 2.0

Hence I installed CUPS using the Warpin version. All the directories 
have been formed.
Ran usb.exe and display showed that USB support is working.
Started cupsd.exe minimised then fired up Firefox and opened the CUPS 
homepage.
Clicked 'Add Printer'.
Entered:
Name:  HP1315
Location:  Local
Description:  HP psc 1315

Clicked 'Continue'
Device: 'hp psc 1310 series (hp psc 1310 series)' was shown in the 
dropdown choices so I chose that.

Clicked  'Continue'

After a while a list of HP printers was shown with   "HP psc 
370-CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4(en)"
highlighted, so I then clicked  "Add printer"

Next page said "Printer successfully added" and configuration page appeared.
Clicked  'Set Printer Options' and next page said "Printer HP1315 has 
been configured successfully"

Then clicked on Printers tab and clicked "Print Test Page"

Top of page then said  "Test page sent"   Then "Printing page 1"  then 
nothing happened and line was displayed at bottom of page   "No jobs"

 What have I done wrong?

That article is in the "How to" of the warpin installation and I think 
that I have followed it to the letter.

Hmm, I wonder who gave permission to put it in the Warpin ?

I must say however that if you follow the article, it si based on 
installing the individual packages. i have used this process several 
tines with success. The two times I tried using the Warpin package it 
failed - but that could be due to my strange drive letter assignments - 
i.e. I don't have a C: drive visible from eCS-OS2.

By the way, going back to the Epson 680 - it has a timed/usage logic in 
it - that stops the printer from working until it is serviced (Epson say 
because ink sponges get full or something). There is a free Windoze 
utility that allows you to reset the counters. I know I had exactly that 
printer for a long time and had to reset it twice, which effectively 
extended its useful life by about 4 years.

I find PMDownloader to be a better product however filezilla should work 
as well.

Don't know what to suggest - I presume other downloads (e.g. from 
Hobbes.nmsu.edu) are working OK?

All I can suggest is to try to start your download at a time that isn't 
the same time as a lot of people in Europe or the USA might be downloading.

Ubuntu is probably using hplip - which isn't in the CUPS/2 warpin file.

hplip/2 can be downloaded from 
http://download.smedley.info/hplip-3.10.2-os2-20100503.zip

Unzip it into the root of the drive you have installed the .wpi to.

Best to try hplip, but also the only way to truely understand what's 
happening is to generate a debug log.

- Close cupsd.exe
- edit \cups\etc\cups\cupsd.conf - change Loglevel to debug
- remove \cups\var\log\cups\error_log
- start cupsd.exe
- generate a test print
- close cupsd.exe and send me \cups\var\log\cups\error_log

Hope this helps,

Paul

No light came on when I plugged in the Epson before and pressed the 
start button. Is this what happened when you had the problem with the 
timed/usage logic program?  If so, I'll fire up windows and try to get 
the win drivers for the Epson and hopefully reset the counters.

I use FORLOG.EXE when I am downloading very large files which take hours.

Subject:   How to install IBM Works?

Well, I've now installed eCS 2.0. It all went smoothly apart from the
usual problem of getting Thunderbird to use my old profile instead of
creating a new one. (I've never understood why it has to be so difficult
to migrate mail from Thunderbird to Thunderbird.)

It turns out, however, that I violated my rule against putting any
applications on the C: drive. Since it has been reformatted, I've lost
my entire diary. (I've used the IBM Works diary for years. It's better
than any other diary application I've tried.) I'll need a bit of luck,
and a bunch of phone calls, not to miss too many appointments over the
coming weeks.

OK, I've managed to track down my old eCS 1.2 CDs, and found a copy of
IBM Works. It didn't immediately work, because of missing DLLs that used
to be included with Warp 4, but I've copied those DLLs over from an
older computer. It still doesn't work, though. The command "fpwpim -M"
should open up the Appointments application. Instead it opens something
that immediately closes, and it happens so quickly that I don't even
know what it opened.

I've tried moving it to the boot drive, because I know there used to be
some ancient applications that insisted on being at root level on the
boot drive, but in this case it didn't help.

Most likely my problem is that I didn't use an installer. The catch is
that I can't find anything that looks like an application installer on
the eCS 1.2 "Applications" disk. It must have been somehow built into
the overall OS installation process, and I'm not motivated to go and
install 1.2 over the top of 2.0.

Does anyone have any clues as to what to try next?

wget definitely turned out to be the best solution for me.
