Hardware / print won't go to default tray
« on: April 04, 2016, 11:01:45 pm »
I've seen this on a few printers. I'm using the PSPRINT postscript drivers in one case and the eCups postscript driver in another case. After installation, printing works normally, but then, after a while, the printer demands to have paper from the other tray.

I'm also curious if anyone has seen support for an IBM Infoprint 1352 printer.  Thanks!

Point your web browser to 192.168.0.1. I hope the admin password is included in the router documentation.

You should get the control panel for the D-Link 506L.

What happens if you ping the D-Link 506L?

If the D-Link has given the ThinkCentre an IP address, open the DHCP monitor to see what it is, or type on command line:

ifconfig lan0

I want to recommend  The Design of OS/2 by Deitel and Kogan. The book will give you a general idea of how OS/2 works. It will also give you insight on how existing OS/2 programs can transcend their limitations in RAM and disk size.

Setup & Installation / Re: using yum

Following up, I see no fix for this, but bug number #117 is open for the issue.

http://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/ticket/117

The Arca Noae Package manager suffers from the same error. At the very least, you cannot rely on the return code from yum to judge the success of any operation.

Setup & Installation / using yum
« on: March 27, 2016, 04:01:12 pm »
I'm using yum, mostly from command line, but sometimes checking my work with ANPM. While installing prerequisites for Mozilla, OpenOffice and a few others, yum does something and all invocations that do any work end with an error condition

Code: [Select]
Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.
  Installing : libc-0.6.6-26.oc00.i386



Rpmdb checksum is invalid: dCDPT(pkg checksums)

This is harmless, except for the non-zero return code from yum. I want to call yum and check the return code, so a wrong return code is less convenient. Is there a way to fix the Rpmdb or get yum to ignore the error?

rpm --repairdb does not appear to make the error go away.

I have activated the calendar, yet I'm able to reopen Thunderbird the next day. My Calendar is synchronized with iCloud. I'm on eCS 2.2 b2, and my machine is always on. I reboot pretty frequently, but this morning has been up for over 2 days.

Thinking about this thread, I headed over to the Lenovo website. The x250 is already gone. The x260 eliminates VGA support.

I had hoped that the pace of new introductions would slow with the decline of the PC market.

The X250 has a VGA port. Does that work for an external monitor?

Has anyone gotten  firefox 38.2.1 to work?

I downloaded it and got it working before the repository went bad. Suntan Special users are stuck because of the repository issue. Sorry about that. In the future, I'll provide support outside of rpm/yum. This is not the first time the repository is down.

By the way, I use iCloud, and it works a whole lot better in Firefox 38.

Applications / Re: Fonts in Lotus Word Pro
« on: March 03, 2016, 11:15:44 pm »
I'm hoping Font Face is the same as Title in the Font Folder. The TTF fonts I removed had the same Title. On one machine, I still have one case of damaged text. Arial comes on OS/2  both as a Type 1 font, in \psfonts and a TrueType font, in \os2\mdos\winos2\system.

I'm going to try removing the WinOS2 TTF font, to see if it will help.

I didn't try the IBM PSCRIPT driver. I don't know why the printer makes any difference to Lotus, but perhaps it's trying to display on screen just as it would be on the printer, in some WYSIWYG sense.

I have what I believe is the same set of drivers and fonts on another machine, and Lotus Word Pro is fine.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.

1. About the printer driver. I'd like to find one printer driver that works with all applications. These machines have been using the IBM Laserjet drivers, and when I switch back, I get a correctly formatted document. The corruption is only with the PSPRINT driver. The IBM laserjet driver crashes instantly (in PMMERGE.DLL) on Thunderbird and Firefox. PSPRINT doesn't crash.

2. Thanks for the advice about fonts. I removed the Times TTF  and Arial TTF fonts. The document now renders properly, even with the PSPRINT driver. You mention conflicting versions. What is the key for a printer driver? Is it the name (Times New Roman)? I'd like to remove all the conflicts.

The image shows the situation on one machine. Other machines render this OK.


I'm also attaching a screen shot of part of the Fonts folder.

I already have one machine where it works. I'll publish a screen shot of what it looks like on a machine where it does not work.

I imagine not many people on OS/2 World use Lotus.

I attached a copy of one document that fails. On my default eCS machine, this works perfectly, but on most others, it fails with all the characters much too close together.
