cannon i250

bill2005
Hi, have been trying to get my cannon i250 to actually print but with no joy! Other sites have suggested that it might run under one of the other printer drivers supplied with the community edition of Mandrake 10.

Somewhat lazy rookie...but very Linux motivated

mjwebb007
I am looking into making a tri-boot computer that will be my hobby computer (as if they aren't all hobby computers already). I want to use Win98 (for older games), WinXP (so my wife still has a usable computer) and a distribution of Linux.

RPM / distro compatibility

Semprini
Often I see rpm files available for download, but usually, they're listed as being for Redhat or Fedora. My question: Will these work on any rpm-based system, or are they tied to a specific distro? I'm using SuSE 9.

Hi all. I am trying to get the inbuilt network card on a Gigabyte GA-K8NS to work with Suse 9. 1. All features on the mobo work except the LAN. Suse will not detect the card, and I was wondering if anyone else had any success with this mobo.

bernamar
Hi there. I hear no sound on my laptop. My os is linux mandrake 10 community, my soundcard works as i can check with harddrake - it is a sis 7012. I think the problem is with kmix driver: if I open it and I ask him for the supported hardware it says supported hardware ALSA 0.
