    Hi Bob,

    Sorry for two reasons :

    1). I haven't a clue where CLASSIC_COMPUTERis located!

    It's a Fidonet echo, this particular one is (also) a gated newsgroup. It
    can probably be found on most any Internet BBS, Waldo's Place is one,
    as is Doc's Place.

    2). Although it's nice to reminisce about former items, I
    just don't have enough hours in the week to do so these
    days - 150/week on the computer (every week) is enough!

    I'm a retired computer professional (not exactly by choice). I decided
    a LONG time ago that if I had to sit at a computer all day at the office
    I sure as heck wasn't going to do it all night too.

    Hi Bob,

    Me too - was that with CP/M or CP/M II?

    CP/M v 2.2 is the version I had - still have FTM, and the machines to run it. Never heard of CP/M II, unless you're referring to CP/M-86 - parts of which were swiped and included in MS/PC-DOS v 1.0 without permission of attribution.

    (X-posted to os2hardware and eCS-Technical)

    Hi all,

    Has anyone on the group used a Samsung ML-2525 printer (mono-Laser)
    under OS/2-eCS?
    Machine is USB-connected only and may be able to be connected with Paul
    Smedley's eCUPS, as there is a .PPD file included on its CD for use with
    Macintosh. also Samsung have a Unified Linux Driver for Linux, which
    makes it seem hopeful. I queried Paul, but he's obviously busy at work
    in Adelaide, South Australia.

    It is pretty remote from me (it's in the other EST timezone,
    N.Hemisphere!), so I can't personally check it out.

    Regards,
    Mike

    I don't know this specific printer but if iirc some Samsungs and
    Lexmarks are the same under the plastic.

    As you have a ppd what I would do is first try and import it into the pscript driver. To my experience MAC or win ppd does not matter, my
    newish Lexmark just fell into place. Use Alex Taylor's install print
    driver app ( e.g. inst_pd104.zip), which is I believe may be in the
    eCUPS package and try that. If the printer is not already in the eCUPS package you will have to import the ppd anyway.

    Regards
    jIM


    Hi Jim,

    That's precisely what _I_ would do, but unfortunately both the printer
    and user are in the USA, I'm just assisting him!
    not a how-to question, but a compatibility question - though it looks
    good as there is not only a Linux Unified Driver (32.2MB) on the Samsung support site, but also a (15.8MB) Smart Panel for Linux.

    Note for the Windows 7 version of the software they recommend having 16 *GIGABYTES* of HDD-space available!
    WXP _only_ needs 1.5GB, Macintosh and Linux 1GB - eCS a lot less! :-)

    Regards,
    Mike
