toshiba 2595xDVD

Subject: toshiba 2595xDVD 

 reference [parport] HP Printer and toshiba 2595xDVD
 
 Question: How do I eliminate "Can't locate module
 char-major-10-134" errors?
 
 Background:
 My Problem:
 I have a toshiba 2595xDVD laptop and a HP 712C
 printer.  The printer doesn't print when I use
 debian's potato CD.
 
 My Discovery:
 Knoppix which is a linux variant that runs from CD
 is
 based on debian. It does print. The kernels differ
 by
 a bit: Knoppix is 2.4.19 and potato is 2.2.19-dep.
 
 My Plan:
   1. make a minimal 2.4.19 kernel that supports X, 
 extfs,
   VFat32
   2. add in the lucent modem support
   3. add in the printer
   4. add in sound
   5. Write up the results and post to my web site
 
 My status:
   Now I have a working kernel that supports X, extfs
 and Vfat32. I have noticed that during bootup I get
 these 
 module not found messages. I don't know where they
 come from. I want to be rid of them before I
 continue.
 
 I have found  the file /var/log/ksymoop/*.log where
 I see the modprobe command lines.

Seeking kernel config for 2.4.19 that prints on Toshiba 2595xDVD

2002-11-25 Thread Thomas Bodine
reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello if you've compiled the kernel for a toshiba
2595xDVD and the sound, modem, X and printer work,
would you be so kind as to send me the .config file
from the top level source directory?

It would be like Knoppix with out Loop back.

Fwd: HP712C Toshiba 2595xDVD printing solved

Title: Toshiba 2595xDVD and HP 712C printing



Tom Bodine's solution to HP712C printing with Debian Linux

The story of how I discovered this is here.
I have a 2.4.19 kernel running. The config file from the source
directory is here.
I have CUUPS to manage my printers
You can get the following from linuxprinting.org

I downloaded pnm2ppa to use with ghostscript to make the printer print.
I found the PPD at http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=pnm2ppa
I found cupsomatic at http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html 
which has a link buried near the top which points to the actual
cupsomatic script

I put cupsomatic from www.linuxprinting.org in /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic. 
I put
the PPD in /usr/share/cups/model/HP-DeskJet_710C-pnm2ppa.ppd.
I browsed to http://localhost:631 to talk to CUUPS and added my printer
I found a postscript file to print and printed it.


I am seeking work as a system administrator, system engineer or field
engineer in southern california.
For more information write me at  [EMAIL PROTECTED] or give me a
call at 619-518-0878
