No, I mean verifying that the "/boot/initramfs-(kernelversion).img"
file got built with your driver installed.  It's created with dracut and
specified in the grub configuration to load any modular drivers needed
to bring up your root filesystem.

Alternately you can build the required disk drivers into the kernel
directly and not use an initramfs.  You only need the drivers necessary
to mount your root filesystem.

Re: F-13 printing problems -

    Since these are network printers it seems the problem is probably
    associated with network connectivity. Can you telnet to the printer at

    from the F13 machine and reconfiguring it would be worth trying. Is
    other printing from the F13 machine proceeding normally or is it also
    slow?

    .......................................................................

    I think my problem was due to the printer driver for the HL-2170 selected during the install. Changing the
driver seems to have improved things. I will know more tomorrow morning when I print more crossword puzzles.

    There is no one computer serving as a printer server. Each of the three printers stands alone on the network
with it's own wireless Ethernet connection. My computers run Linux and are configured via cups
individually to print to those addresses. The other computers on the LAN are all Apple Macs and each of them
is configured to work on the printers by addressing which ever one they want to use.

    There is a confusion factor however that I have only understood after looking at this stuff carefully
today. Both the CUPS and the system-config-printer screens show the printers configured on my computers
and the Macs. If when printing from Firefox I bring up a printer screen I have to be careful to select the
HL-2170 printer for this address and not one for one of the Macs otherwise I get nothing and the system locks
up until I kill the process. With F-12, Firefox would only print to the default printer which could be
either the 2170 or the 5140, I had different settings on the two Fedora computers I normally print from.

    And I just printed 11 pages of a pdf manual for a Netgear WNDR3300 router on the HL-2170 printer and that went normally.

    So far it appears the problem was a poor driver selection.

Whatever. I was just answering the "no zip on Linux" point. Also, .so
files are used on several Unix-like systems
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format) so
strictly speaking it doesn't mean he had a Linux version. However it's
pretty clear it wasn't Windows version as was suggested.

That Bluetooth mouse problem is a side effect of some ill-advised power
management in the kernel.

That bug doesn't seem to be getting any attention, but there is a partial
workaround in Comment 22.

Yes, that is the approach I have taken, because the initramfs image
didn't work either. It's really a matter of which are the options that
are required to support this controller.

During the kernel build, it says SCSI and PCI are needed, but I'd like
to find a more complete list of the specific options that are
necessary, such as ACPI, etc.

Thanks,
Alex

Printing problem on FC13

Hi,

I've set up a printer entry for my Brother HL-5070N network printer,
and when I print a test page it instead prints one page with "ERROR
NAME; undefined COMMAND; -12345X <at> PJL OPERAND STACK", followed by pages
and pages of blank paper until I turn off the printer.

There is a choice of a number of print drivers, and I've tried a few
of them, including ljet4, hl1250, and a ghostscript driver, and they
all do the same thing.

It hasn't worked since I installed FC13, but did work when I
previously had Ubuntu and an older FC installed on this computer.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Alex

I'd say the first thing to try is to duplicate the settings you used
in earlier Fedoras where the printer worked, especially by using the
same printer driver, though other settings may also matter.

In either case, it was the wrong flash.  The OP needs to start over with the correct file.  And since we haven't
heard from him since his initial post, maybe, he did and there's no problem anymore.

I cannot telnet out,
'cat /etc/resolv.conf' yields

nameserver 192.168.1.254
#Generated by NetworkManager
domain home
search home

and  'netstat -nr' yields

also, the upgrades work too.
