hi,
thanks to all who supported in making my g85 run.
the installation followed the instructions in "install" and "print-howto" plus
the note on setting /etc/modules.conf now included in hpoj-homepage.
to start the ptal-print demon i did the following for suse 7.0:
add the following lines to /etc/rc-config
# Start officejet printer daemon ptal-printd?
START_PTAL_PRINTD="yes"
PTAL_PRINT_PARAM="mlc:mlcpp0 -like /dev/lp0"
don't forget to call /sbin/SuSEconfig
when adding a ampersand at the end of the params as suggested in
"print-howto" the demon won't start (at least under under suse 7.0)
at system restart the system does not hang.
save the ptalPrintd shellscript into /sbin/init.d (see the appendix)
setting the following softlinks:
in /sbin/init.d/rc2.d as well as in /sbin/init.d/rc3.d
ln -s ../ptalPrintd K20ptalPrintd
ln -s ../ptalPrintd S20ptalPrintd
configure the printer with /sbin/YaST2.
have a good time and ciao
