I don't know where you were, or where you were calling to, but often you
can find free wifi by asking people if their neighbors have "the Internet"
and asking them to let you use it.



Also - I see in almost any petrol station abroad warnings about not
using mobile phones in the station - due to danger of sparks from the
phone igniting fuel fumes (I've seen this happen in some YouTube
movies, not a nice sight). I can only guess that WiFi should be
discouraged just the same.


I think it was Mythbusters that tested it and found that it was a myth,
but that does not mean you should try it on your own.

Here's a windows only link, but I expect you could find it somewhere else
in a more compatible form:

 1. All content handling is based on flash. Many of my

You're a big overreacting. Yes, there's a flash applet that shows the 
slides inline in the page, but underneath each such applet there's a 
link to download the content.

 2. After searching the page, I found a "direct" link
(albeit with a horribly encoded url), only to be
redirected to a login screen.
Should our community content be held hostage behind some
company login requirements?
  
 3. The last too items also mean we cannot practically

link directly to these presentations. As a result their
chance to be indexed and found by search engines
are nil (yes, I know scribd front pages with the
document titles are indexed -- so what? what about the full text?)
This unnecessarily lowers the long term value of this content.
  
I don't really see the real issue here but since you seem to be bothered 
by this I'm going to add a direct link to the original slides. This will 
take time tough...

Can't we afford hosting our own community presentations?

  
No, hosting space is not the issue. Making efficient use of my time is 
-  Scribd is convenient being that it automatically creates a version in 
various formats (PDF/ODP/DOC etc.) and a nice preview image (although 
flash based).


I was aiming to reach a larger audience then the "usual suspects" with 
the new site and club (and judging from the participants of the last 
meeting it is working) - one that wont have OO installed despite most 
slides being written with the tool. I didn't want to spend time 
converting to different formats so I choose Scribd.


As I said I will add a direct link to original slides when I have time.

The problem is that the download link only works if you're registered.

Thanks for the pointer. This could be useful though after a week away
from my "home 3G network" and being mostly dependent either on 3G
roaming (I'm still worried what the bill is going to be like) or
non-free WiFi, it might be a lesser solution (it didn't help that a
major family crisis overseas happened during that week which required
us to call abroad almost every day).

Also - I see in almost any petrol station abroad warnings about not
using mobile phones in the station - due to danger of sparks from the
phone igniting fuel fumes (I've seen this happen in some YouTube
movies, not a nice sight). I can only guess that WiFi should be
discouraged just the same.

I didn't have this option where I travelled last week. We were
travelling long distances and staying mostly in cabins in caravan
parks. All caravan parks seem to have learned that they can make lots
of money from providing WiFi access. The only place which was free (or
actually just included the WiFi in the price of the room) was the only
Hotel we stayed at, and even then we were limited to one device at a
time. (I was contemplating using JaikuSpot to route WiFi traffic
through the Nokia to the other Nokia and laptop but didn't have time
to play with it :).

I always was looking for unsecured WiFi spots but except for one in
some optometric shop (guessing from the SSID) in a mall I never found
any - they are all secure.

Well - it's the law where the signs are posted. I suppose in Israel
it's OK because there are no signs.

As a smart guy I'm sure you do, but I'll spell it out nevertheless:
   Access to the slides is *restricted* (to scribd subscribers)

You're entitled to your personall preferences.

But for future readers of this thread -- OpenOffice.org produces
PDF in one click which is surely shorter than login to scribd
[ And no need to subscribe to anything to get this feature ]

Don't underestimate your fame... it's not the scribd preview images
that bring the people ;-)

I agree, why subscribe to scribd to get a file. See haifux example. I am
particullary annoyed to subscribe to web sites, unless it's really a must.

Strange cups problem

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

I have a system that started life as a redhat 7.2 system that I can not
replace. It has been upgraded over the years and is currently running
kernel 2.4.34., GCC is version 3.3.

I have an old CUPS system set up on it 1.1.20, which has worked for many
years. I recently got a new printer, a Samsung ML-1610. I have been
able to get it to work with CUPS by installing the latest version of
Ghostscript and the Splix driver.

However, I get the error message in the log file "media tray empty"
after every print job. This is a common problem which was fixed a long time
ago, around release 1.2.

I have tried to install from the tarball every later version of cups 

	cups-1.2.12 
	cups-1.3.8

cups-1.3.9
cups-1.4b1

and although they otherwise seem to work, they will not detect my printer.
In fact, it looks like they no longer have USB support.

If I force it, for example with 1.4.b1 (or 1.3.9, or 1.3.8) using:

./configure --disable-ldap  --enable-libusb

Libusb is "libusb-0.1.12" which seems to be the last version.

I get the recurring message "waiting for printer to become ready".

The printer is online and ready before I start the CUPS scheduler.

I have searched the CUPS forums and done general web searches, and found
nothing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Geoff.
