Hi, Mike.  xojpanel is a little app that on certain models displays the
contents of the LCD on the front panel.

Could you provide the exact error message you get?  Does the binary have
execute permission ("ls -l /usr/local/bin/xojpanel" or wherever you have it
installed)?  Is this installed on an ext2fs partition now?  Does the file
system as a whole allow execute permission?  Make sure there's a "defaults"
or "exec" option and no "noexec" option on the entry for that file system in
/etc/fstab.

You're not going to see an option for hpoj in the control panel (RedHat
printtool?).  Unfortunately the procedure for setting up printing through
hpoj is a bit of a hack at the moment.  See the "hpoj documentation offered
- Comments Please" message sent out on November 30 by Joe Piolunek for a
good description of how to set it up.  On December 3 I sent out a few
updates to this file.  This information will be included in 0.7.

Looking back through the messages you have sent out, I don't think you ever
mentioned what HP all-in-one model you have.  That information could be
helpful as well.

Thanks much.  I will take a look at that message shortly and print it out.  Also, I think you are quite right that I have not mentiond which I have.  Mine is the OfficeJet 600.

Mike -

If you're still having trouble getting xojpanel to run -
 
If you don't have Qt installed, xojpanel won't build.

Check in the hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel directory to see if xojpanel actually was 
built. If it was, it may run for you if you change to the 
hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel directory first and run it from there. If I don't do 
that, I get errors related to the "lcd.bmp" pixmap not being found. The 
version of xojpanel in that distribution expects lcd.bmp to be found in 
whatever your current directory is.

If you can get it to run from the hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel/ directory, here is 
what you can do to run it from another directory, if you want to go to the 
trouble. An improved version of xojpanel will be distributed with the next 
release, which isn't too far in the future.

Choose a directory that you would like lcd.bmp to reside in, creating it if 
necessary. A suggestion is 
/usr/local/share/pixmaps/hpoj 

Copy lcd.bmp from the hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel/ directory to that location.
Open the file hpoj-0.6/apps/xojpanel/ojstatus.cpp with a text editor.
Change line 38 from:
LcdPm.load("lcd.bmp");
to:
LcdPm.load("/usr/local/share/pixmaps/hpoj/lcd.bmp");
if you chose that directory.

Rebuild the hpoj package with 'make'.

If you already installed the package, the old xojpanel in the install 
location will need to be deleted or replaced by the new one.
