Some pages I came across that have a ton of good info on them about how to pose people.
I battled with this the first time I tried to install the Brother HL-2070N back when I had SuSE 10.3, and I struggled with it again with SuSE 11.0. Mind you I got it working both times, but next time should be a breeze:
– First, make sure the CUPS server is running.
– Read this link to the openprinting database.
– Then download and install both the lpr driver and CUPS wrapper from the brother website.
– The printes should be added to the CUPS server, however it is set up as a USB device. Click the Modify Printer button and select Internet Printing Protocol (http) on the second page, then on the next page, for the Device URI use http://192.168.0.80:631/ipp/port1
– That’s it. Print a test page, and it should be good. Oh, don’t forget to set the resolution to 1200.
On another note, the 2070H driver doesn’t not offer much in the way of options for the print.
Since the printer is capable of emulating HP LaserJet PCL 6, I added another Brother 2070N printer, but HP LaserJet 6 drivers.
Works great, and I have more control over the final image/print.
I’ve been meaning to document this in case I need to re-create the backup schedule, as well as to have a place I can quickly check to find out when what gets done.
– A DualLayer DVD backup has been made of both Music and Photos in July 2008 using software called “Backup Platinum 4.0“. It sorts out how much data it puts on each disk to fill it up without truncating data, while preserving the original directory tree. Exactly what I needed. Only downside is that it runs on windows.
Work Folder
– Nightly at 12:00 a backup (rsync cron job) of the Work folder gets done to the external usb HD.
Music folder
– Nightly at 1:00am a backup (rsync cron job) of the Music folder gets done to the external HD
Photo folder
– Nightly at 2:00am a backup (rsync cron job) of the Photo folder gets done to the external HD

I tried to get AuFS working again, and finally got it running.
It looks like after each reboot I need to run #insmod /lib/modiules/2.6.25.5-1.1-xen/kernel/fs/aufs.ko
This loads the aufs mofule into the kernel?
Without it each #mount command responded with “aufs is not a known fs type” (or something like that.
It seems that running a NFS client in one of the DomU (guest OSs) results in VERY poor read/write performance.
So I’ve had to run everything over a Samba connection.
Not the prettiest solution, but I get normal read/write speeds.
This is weird, cuz this worked just fine in Suse10.3… Or did it… I never tested it, but I also never had any reason to suspect it as not working, since speeds were very decent.
– On the large highway (devoid of cars) have baby be sitting on a little put car. The view encompases the great emptyness as well as the baby + toy.
– Baby in the tub. With a red wash cloth draped on her back like a cape… The shot is from behind, and the caption reads “even surepheroes need to bathe”
DONE
– Baby bathing in the kitchen sink. Two sinks. One sink has baby, the other a towering mound of unwashed pots and pans.
– Baby drawing in chock on the sidewalk E=MC2. Picture of her working away at the 2.
Now that I’m implementing AuFS along with FlexRAID, I am debating on how to best make use of these technologies.
The way I see it, data will fall into one of these 3 categories:
– Data that is in a Raid set as well as mirrored to another drive
– Data that is in a Raid set
– Data that I don’t mind loosing. (not part of a Raid set or mirrored)
I just need to decide what data falls into what category.
