giorsat Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi. I switched to gnome recently because ut handles my network more efficiently . I have a few question for all you gnome experts out there. 1) is there a equivalent of kprinter such as gnome printer? which rpm? 2) is there a gnome printer applet or software to control printer status and jobs?= where is mdk rpm? I use the 10.1 community 3) I use eroaster for cd burning? is there a better program under gnome? any suggestion is welcomed. do you know if gnome 2.8 exists for mandrake 10.1 and if it works?

fred_the_fish Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I use 2.8 on a Fedora2 system, so I can't answer the rpmi question, however I suggest you look at Gnome's online manuals For CD Burning, use Gnome's built in CD Creator, or KB3 For printing, I really don't know because I don't havea working printer... but I'd have thought there was a control panel tool for CUPS (though I have never looked for it..)

giorsat Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 fedora doesn't work on my computer. gives a lot of trouble. mandrake is a breeze once you give the nopcmcia option on boot anybody who uses gnome on mdk and can help?

fred_the_fish Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Was that Fedora 1 or 2? Core 2 is a much improved product, and I'd have thought your problems were actually related to kernel versions rather than distro - Fedora using a newer version of the kernel than Mandrake. As for printing solutions, take a look at the link I gave you, I've just had a look, and all the technical answers are there for you.. Also, the mandrake CC will still be available through Gnome, so just go into it to set-up the printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
