Print-o-phobia

Today I did'nt do much... I actually ENJOYED using my computer instead of fumbling around in settings.

Well, I did setup my printer. I was expecting to fumble around with commands and have to mount/un-mount the printer... But I was wrong and glad I was! I plugged-in my Lexmark E220 printer in the USB port and MAGIC! Auto-installed! Wow almost as easy as on windows ;p It did have to download the driver from the internet and ask me if I wanted to use that driver.

No such luck with my Konika Minolta Magicolor 2400w. Well It's a battle on windows to have it work half of the time with the propreitary software crashing the print spooler all the time. With Linux, I did find drivers over the net but had to install some "foomatic filter" of some kind. Downloaded that as well but I think it needs to be compiled. Tried to "make" it but I guess I'm not there yet. I'll fumble with thta tomorrow.

I remember that my colleague used to recompile his disto to optimize for his processor; I wonder if I can get there in my three days left to my trial week...

I'm still holding, I do use Vista at work but I never even got tempted to boot in Vista at home. I think it might be a sign...
