Hallo, For those of you who have an Apple Stylewriter -family printer, I have just debianized the driver for this printer. It is my first attempt at packaging, so I don't know even if it works (my lprng config is fscked, although using the driver directly works fine). I'd appreciate it if some folks would take a look and see if it works for them. I have been unable to contact the author, so I'm reluctant to make a big announcement, or apply to be a maintainer. I expect there are others out there who could benefit from this package, however, so please go ahead and try it.
the powerpc-compiled package can be got at: ftp://valinor.ssd.k12.wa.us/debian/dists/potato/contrib/binary-powerpc/misc/stylewriter_1.9.9-1_powerpc.deb and the source is in .../contrib/source/misc/ Due to the fact that the appletalk component does not compile on powerpc, that piece has been omitted. You may only print to printers attached to your serial port. If I can ever get ahold of the author, this may change. Oh! one important note: I forgot to include a command in the package... after you install, be sure to make a symlink pointing from /dev/stylewriter to the appropriate serial port. This is the author's scheme, and I haven't decided whether I like it or not yet (or if it goes against some debian guideline), so that's the way it is for now. Edit /etc/printcap if you don't like it. Enjoy, Peter Abrahamsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
