Subject:  Re:  Printer recommendation

I printed to my C61 using PMView 2000 and it was fine in terms of colours etc.  My main concern with a USB 
printer is the loss of print capability in WinOS2 - I still use some apps in WinOS2 - however I recall seeing info 
on the net somewhere that you can redirect the WinOS2 job to the OS2 print driver.  Anyone tried this out?

Subject:   WayBack Internet Archive Site

I recently accidently came across this site called Wayback Machine web archive.  I think the URL is 
www.archive dot org/web/web.php.  It has archive 10 Billion web sites since 1996.

I have found this great for accessing long since disappeared OS/2 sites.  In particular I was after one that 
described accessing a HP 5P scanjet from within WinOS2.

It has often been frustrating finding links to sites with useful info and then finding the site no longer operates.  
Try out the site it is amazing what they have archived!!

Off topic I have downloaded and tried OpenOffice a little bit and for a beta it both looks and works very good.  
I had no trouble installing and it did not crash at all especially loading Word documents etc.

Hi Dave,
I've setup TWAIN for WinOS2, long time ago now.
Gee, I even have a 5c, (& a 4c).

Subject:  Re:  Printer recommendation

Hi Dave,
In win.ini add extra lpt4.os2->lpt9.os2 entries.
Run LPT49 from Hobbes??? to create extra LPT ports in OS/2.
Install the Win 3.1 driver for the printer, (does one exist?).
Tell the driver to print to lpt4.os2, (e.g.)
In the OS/2 printer object under ports right click on lpt4 & go to 
redirection.
You can then redirect lpt4 to the C61 printer object.

If there is no Win3.1 driver, probably best to setup a Laserjet 12/600 
Colour PS printer in WinOS2 & then configure Ghostscript to print to the 
  C61.

If this seems too hard, just format HDD & install W2k, fully supported 
by Epson...

Subject:  Re:  Printer recommendation

Since all you are trying to do is write the data to the spool file, I wonder if adding "usbprinterqueuename".OS2 into
WIN.INI - something like this:

[ports]
; A line with [filename].PRN followed by an equal sign causes
; [filename] to appear in the Control Panel's Printer Configuration dialog
; box. A printer connected to [filename] directs its output into this file.
LPT1:=
LPT2:=
LPT3:=
COM1:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM2:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM3:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM4:=9600,n,8,1,x
EPT:=
FILE:=
LPT1.OS2=
LPT2.OS2=
LPT3.OS2=
EPSON_St.OS2=

renaming the present queue to be 8.3 compatible, may give WINOS2 the ability to send data into that queue and from
there OS/2 takes care of the rest.

just an idea.

Cheers/2

Ed.

Hi Dave,
Have a look on the Epson CD, there may be a win3.1 directory.
Perhaps do a dir /s >c61.txt at a command-line & email me c61.txt what 
you get privately. It may be possible to get WINOS2 printing working.
The problem is finding a driver that will work under WINOS2 not that its 
a USB connected printer.

Ed try the following:
Install a firewall:
http://www.zonelabs dot com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp

Install antivirus software:
http://www.grisoft dot com/us/us_dwnl_free.php

Problem solved, get on with *using* the computer, rather than stuffing 
around with it.

Tell us how your using the printer, are you using PMView Pro?
What tasks are you using the printer for.
What paper are you using?
Have you tried different paper?
What were the results using different paper?
Do you have a digital camera?
Does PMView Pro support DXIF printing headers?
Some HowTos like the Linux Guys would Be A Good Idea, so other folks can

Subject:   LG GSA-4040B DVD burner firmware available.

Hi All,

If anyone here has the LG 4040b DVD burner, you would be advised
to update the firmware.  On MY system, it effectively increased the 
burn speed by correcting for the mis interpretation of SOME 4x DVD-R
media.   There may be other enhancements, but as there is no
history file I could find on the site, all I can say is that the drive now
performs very well.  Performance (burn time) in os2 has been 
improved also.

The update must be made from inside windows.  I did mine from a 
fresh install of winXP without Antivirus or other programs running.

Note, some users have had to remove the burner from their machines
and temporarily install the drive into an older system.  Users with 
Nforce2 video boards and some Asus motherboards notably ASUS K7M 
(a slot A).  With the above in mind I temporarily fitted my 4040b
DVD drive, just in case, to a Asus Pentium 2 350mhz and successfully 
updated the bios.   (I did not try it at all on my new Asus P4C-800-E 
Deluxe due to all the earlier bios update related warranty problems.)

-------------------------from website-------------------------------------------------

GSA-4040A302(ew).zip

http://au.lgservice dot com/index_b2c.jsp

New firmware Ver A302 for only GSA-4040B

Improper processing of this upgrade will damage the drive.
LG Electronics is not responsible or liable for improper installation of
this upgrade.  This firmware upgrade is for firmware versions below A302 of
the LG Branded GSA-4040B DVD Writer.
The ROM version is stamped on the top of the drive below the serial number.

Please follow the hardware setup instructions below.
1.Have the GSA-4040B connected to the secondary IDE channel as a master
  drive alone.
2.Do not touch or interfere with the drive while the FIRMWARE is being
  upgraded.
3.If an error occurs during the upgrade process, or the upgrade process is
  cancelled during this process, damage to the drive can occur.
  This is your responsibility.  LG Cannot be held liable for mistakes or
  errors that occur during this upgrade process.

To upgrade Windows XP, 2000, ME and 98 (only windows mode)

1. Remove inserted disc in GSA-4040B and Connect to only master of
   secondary port.
2. Download the GSA-4040A302(EW).zip file and Extract the zip file to the
   folder (ex: c:\>temp)
3. Check the Execution file and TXT file [GSA4040A302.EXE & README(ew).TXT]
4. Execute to GSA4040A302.exe

Daryl,

  This is not the correct forum to discuss this, however suffice to say too much of my
time at work is taken up patching and virus-proofing systems that if they had a half
good coded OS on them, it wouldn't be neccessary. It's an extra unbudgetted cost in
all cases.

Yea well, I followed the instructions of said site - and it did not recognise the scanner - says no scanner found.  
Doesn't really matter as I usually access it through native OS/2 software.  I have 2 HP 5P's (in case one 
breaks down eventually - they are cheap but hard to find now as nobody wants SCSI anymore.  I also have a 
3P but it is B&W, but has an ADF.

Both work fine with TAME, Copyshop, CFM etc.

Subject:  Re:  Printer recommendation

There are no win3.1 drivers I had a look on the CD and on Epson's site.  It doesn't really matter as I rarely use 
WinOS2 nowadays.  I had a good Hallmark card making software program that runs well in a fullscreen 
WINOS2 prompt.  Surprisingly it does not work at all in XP - even in emulation mode.

As for reformatting and installing W2K - well I already have XP on another partition that I also boot rarely these 
days.  I have been almost exclusively using OS/2 and more recently eCs 1.1 for a few years now, having 
weaned myself of MS products.  If you are careful and wise about your purchases you can have a fully 
working OS/2 system - for instance I use a sandisk usb CF card reader (works flawlessly), an IDE zip disk, 
combo DVD&CDRW burner, SCSI cdrom etc etc.

Mainly to print family snaps from my digital camera and some normal text printing.

If I dont use standard a4 paper then I have tried both epson brand photo paper and the kodak stuff - which

On photo paper, as I said before thd quality is excellent for the price - and much better than my previous 
canon bj1000, bj2000 and bjc4100.  The print quality is the same as if I printed them under winXP.

Yes, an old Kodak dc3200 - 1.3meg pixels - I was tempted to upgrade over xmas as there were some good

That is a good idea - usually the only way to find info on this type of thing - eg finding a usb printer that works 
well under OS/2 is to search thru sites such as OS2WORLD the USB site there is very good.  The other way 
is to just ask for advicein email groups such as this one or the newsgroups.  OS/2 users are generally very 
friendly - I have found Linux users can be obnoxious at the best of times.

I have an HP 5p Scanjet with the original isa scsi card. I want to 
transfer the scanner to a new motherboard with pci slots. Where can I 
find a pci scsi card that will work with this scanner.
