SO I set it up as:
ipp://192.168.1.5/ipp/
other printer (it said no IPP port 631 at host ipp://192.168.1.5/ipp/ so I had to use other printer rather than ipp printer in the add printer wizard).
and chose raw no driver.
It makes me wonder if there is a networking issue, but I can telnet to the printer and bring up the printers java control webpage.

So printing a test page just sits there
and never prints:
$ lpq -a

Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  userjf 324     
http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Abu 672768 bytes

Still can print from windows, but not from debian. weird. any other ideas, suggestions?

Do you need help?

Can we help you?

I don't use any sort of automounting or unmounting. I don't have NFS-homes (the traditional UNIX automounter setup). This is a UNIX-like OS, although its lookin more and more like a Windows-like OS.

I label the filesystems on anything I want users to mount. I then have per-label mount points and lines in fstab; users are responsible for their own mounts and umounts and any damage they do. Then again, I don't have that many devices.

Catch-22

However, if you read the documents on how they created the Debian installer, you could find out how to create your own Debian Installer CD; it would contain your own custom-compiled kernel and lvm configuration in /etc, and it would be able to see all of your volumes--that is what you want--right?

Can't find what you're looking for?

I don't know what to think.

Since Etch's Grub supposedly doesn't understand lvm, I can't see how you booted in the first place.

You're not the only one to get them. This evening (around 30-Sep 00:02 UTC), I received 19 of them, with original email dates stretching back to Wednesday 26-Sep.

I'm satisfied to leave that up to the individual. It's none of my business. Caveat emptor applies in all situations. If they want to use it, _good for them_. If they want crapware from Redmond instead, _good for them_. Irrelevant to me. I've got what I want.

If you've been expecting this to work for the console, that's your error. X Window defines the DISPLAY variable. If you're not running X, xmodmap is irrelevant.
