PSC1210 and CUPS server

by Chuck Haines

I just recently decided to put my PSC1210 on my linux server so I could share it with other people. I installed it using cups just fine, it's prints beautiful from the linux machine. However when I try and install the printer from Windows, it asks me for the INF file to install the driver. Not unfortunately HP doesn't include this INF, as they want you to install all their crap. I was curious if anyone else had any experience with this.

Also- didn't something called "inotify" just make it into the kernel? I think that is also a file change notification utility? -- Linux/Open Source: Your infrastructure belongs to you, free, forever.

Jeff, Mine notifies me, too, but only if I'm in that screen. (Multiple screens (insert correct name if not "screens") on my desktop.) Also, I use it to notify me of new activity in other files. It's really quite flexible and useful for local event notification. Bill

what's xbiff? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Mills-Curran [mailto:bill@mills-curran.net] Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 8:47 AM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: [Wlug] xbiff Now that xbiff is gone (not in fc3), what's a good replacement? I've gotten a lot of good use out of xbiff & use it to notify me about a number of things. I'm surprised it's gone, but I guess it's time to move on. Suggestions?
