I got the printbackends from gtk2 (from pup 5.7.1.) and that works for me .
I saw this problem in JudoShiai .

RXVT -f read its font out of font.alias .
font.alias is allingd to font.dir .
The are in /usr/X11R7/share/X11/fonts/misc .
Not all the fonts have a alias name in font.alias .
Try rxvt -fn 12x24 . which is file 12x24.pcf .
In this why I put in the IBM pc850 tables .

I running puppy 431 on a screen of 1200x780 .
All the icons and text font are so large .
Is there a way to change them all ?

Why some of you cann't accept a different road to go .

Barry take s road a , the CE takes road b , some other takes a other roads .

What is wrong with that ???

It woud be a shame for Puppy if Barry stops with evalueting his idea's about how to generat Puppy .

I have the seem problem , it seems that Skype changed the way they do there passwords . I got the version 2.0.0.72 from Skype . That one works .
To get the sounds and lanquage working copy them to /usr/share/skype .
Thats what Skype accepts . How you get the JWM working again I have no idea ...

I have a Acer 5530 wich will boot Puppy 3/4 wich apci=off .

Has anybody used this machine with Puppy . If so how do I become the drivers for it .

Well in all later version of 1.09 they have put a '-nolisten tcp' command .
This only done for XORG in .xinitrc . This prefend X11 to listen to a tcp/ip network .

Also the host.allow only has local . So you should you local or global network into it . (example ALL: 10.0.0 )

I thing this is done ...

DISPLAY=:0.0 works on all systems . That not the problem there 0.0 is the default display .

What I try to do is use another pc to display X11 .
To test that you should be able to do :
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
xclock

This should display xclock on your screen .
I wondered that this only works in puppy 1.09 .
I tried the seam on 2.02/2.14/3.1/4.0 but the all said "cannot connect display ...

HairyWill :
Failure to load the cifs module might be cured by setting the kernel boot flag to use aufs instead of unionfs. I presume you are using a puppy that includes cifs such as 4.00.

In my hardisk instalation of 4.0 it has unionfs and cifs loaded .
If I start from a CD , i have know idea how ...

Well I saw that You use in smbmount the IP number .

As far I know that doesn't work it should be the machinename .
As far I understand the samba manuals it say the de "service" should be been writen in U(niversal)N(ame)C(ode) text .

For some unknow reasen the cifs doesn't if frugel installetion ...

I got the .pet file running in 3.99 and 4.0 with video .
I had to download new modules for my webcam .

With 2.xx as far I know is cann't work there the libst++ need new variable's .
I think this has to do with the kernel version .

This only a techical way to try to get a lower diskspace .
I find a durty way to findout if a pipe has data yes or no .
But still I have to copy it(the pipe) to a file , I cann't (for now) find a way to do this otherwise .
I used it by linking it to lpr and test it with abi , firefox , numeric and ...

Thanks for your reaction .
Ofcourse , jcoder24 , that will do something to keep the system clean .
But it does not solve the problem of diskspace because you have to have temporarly a lot of diskspace . More if there are more jobs to print .

I have try some things , but none of it really works . I ...

PDQ use 3 state's . First is Language second Filter third IO .
Each of this creates a file . First it copy's the input to xxx.raw .
Second it makes a xxx.converted after that a xxx.filtered . The last one is send to the actual printer device . There is nothing wrong with it , the only thing is that ...

To print PDF file with PDQ is to do by adding a Language driver :
language_driver PDF {} #do nothing
Add to the filter_exec in the gs call following line :
-dPDFFitPage -dFIXEDMEDIA \
The first make PDF to scale and the second if to big for the printer it clip's the output . Some printers hangs ...

Ther is a text procedure in PDQ but doesn't work with all printer .
A beter way , I think , is todo the same as done in lpshell .
Replace the 'language_driver text' by this :
language_driver text {
convert_exec = {
/usr/sbin/nenscript -$TEXT_2 -T$paper -p$OUTPUT $INPUT
}
}
The variable TEXT_2 ...

In Europa we use mostly a4 as paperformat . You can change the papersize in PDQ to a4 . (Puppy use letter as standard) After that has been done I found that not all the PS file could be printed because of the fact that some of them didnot converd to a4 but still stay in letter format . My printer ...
