I've got one old and one new question. First the new one: 1. I'm trying to set up an Epson Color Stylus 740 printer. I followed the HOWTO and got the apsfilter package. My problem is that this package doesn't seem to have a filter for the Epson 740. I tried the only Epson filter that looked promising and it didn't work. Can anyone suggest a filter package that will support this printer. I know I have the hardware working because I can cat ascii to /dev/lp0 and it prints.
2. I asked this before and got no response. I'm hoping it got lost in the bit bucket. I am having trouble with the network going out on my IBM 560Z (300 MHz PII). I am running Debian kernel 2.0.36-3, my eternet card is a 3Com 3C574-TX. I use the computer mainly in a docking port which provides 2 extra PCMCIA slots. The problem occurs whether the network card is physically in the laptop or in the docking station. The symptom was originally that I would boot up in the morning and everything would work fine for about 2 hours. Then the network would go away. This is not a thermal problem, as it never happens under NT on this dual-boot machine. Unplugging and reinserting the card seemed to have mixed results. Often, it seems like the card manager is out to lunch, as I get no beeps upon unplugging and replugging. Sometimes after a few minutes the network comes back, but it is very flaky thereafter. I thought I solved the problem the other day by adding the line: PCIC_OPTS="extra_sockets=1" to my pcmcia.conf file. This has improved things, apparently. I went for a day and a half after making this change before it failed again. Any ideas? Should I update my kernel to potato? Hope I'm not doing anything dumb, as I'm new to Linux (but not unix). Another possibility would be to figure out how to use the network adapter that is built into my docking port. Is there documentation somewhere for such things?
