[hpoj-devel] g85 and suse 7.0 (linux 2.2.16)

[<Bar...@t-...>]

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
