Fellow devs,
I received a PM from Voyager13, who is using VL in a work environment,
that I would like to share because of the positive feedback.
Best,
John

JohnB,
I installed the new hplip package via gslapt on the Vector machines
this morning (busy weekend). I added the wireless network printer to
each station with the system/printer manager menu selection by typing
in the proper IP address, and clicking the mouse a few times. It all
worked like a charm. Now the entire center prints to the HP9860 linked
to the local net via WIFI, and the old local Deskjets are in the
dumpster where they belong....
Total time spent on each workstation from starting Gslapt to printing
a test page on the network printer was five minutes.
Thanks again for building and adding the package. It's a winner! I'm
introducing a Linux newbie to Vector SOHO this evening. He has six
PC's on his local network (all Win2k or XP), and is into music and
digital art in a big way. After playing with the Gimp, Blender,
Rosegarden, K3b, and other toys on my PC's, he decided that he has to
have a Linux box of his own. So, this evening, Bill Gates is being
evicted from yet another PC, and a new Vector fan in is the making.
The nice part is that the new SOHO install will be on a rather high
end AMD box, and not an old beater.
Vector sells itself to Win users. Many people who use the business
center here have told me that they didn't even know what Linux was
before they were "forced" to use it here. They like it, and several
have asked me to help them partition their own PC's or laptops so they
can have it at home.
Keep up the outstanding work.
