Re: Dell
read the page.
it's full of anti-windows stuff!
6) Ubuntu is safer than Microsoft® Windows®
The vast majority of viruses and spyware written by hackers are not designed to target and attack Linux.
they also push OpenOffice!Comment

Re: Dell
modern lexmark = NO LINUX DRIVERS... they used to make red hat drivers, but now they only support M$... my mom's x8350 is a linux paperweight...sigpic

Re: Dell

Re: Dell
my epson rx600 (i think) worked, but the ink was overpriced and the ink level method was pages printed based not actual ink remaining. overpriced shit. that, and my mom needed fax.
the dumb thing won't even scan if it is out of ink... they got 'ya screwed....
i have a brother mfc 420cn that she refuses to use... i like it myself...
i also like my canon bjc85 (nice mobile unit) and my HP laserjet 1012...Last edited by ratdude747; 06-13-2010, 07:23 PM.sigpic

Re: Dell
epson dont count pages, they count pulses to the peizo in the head.
you can play with those counters using this:

Re: Dell
yeah... but it is a non-replaceable printhead. the privious owner used 3rd party... what a PITA to clean out... my luck with 3rd party has been nothing but very, very, bad.
I read that it was PAGES... i have 95% full cartridges that read up as EMPTY to prove it.
besides, why go back to it when my brother mfc420cn is so much better, it has fax, a built in LAN server, it takes up MUCH less space, and has both a flatbed and sheet fed scanner. all i have to do to make it work in 'buntu is install the "extra brother drivers" lpr and cups packages... not to mention mine was only $15 at a thrift store.sigpic

The point being, I print over the network from my mac and have printed on it from Linux machines as well (fedora and ubuntu), never had any problems making it work and play nice with any OS yet. That's been the best printer I've ever owned. I have a Samsung color laser in the house. Makes nice pictures, but samsungs software completely blows. I won't own an inkjet printer. I hate them....they're slow, unreliable, and most of all, you get assraped so hard on ink!!<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Dell
that is an old lexmark... iirc it uses postscript, which automatically makes it linux/mac os x friendly.
too bad we can't afford a color laser all-in-one... we were lucky on the twin tray b&w laserjet 1012 ($10 at a thift store; almost full toner; owner thought it was a win 7 paperweight-- it isnt!)sigpic

by BowlineMy question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?
My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell... -

by diamonI have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.
Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

by notallbadThis is a 2012 LG TV so aware full functionality of the smart functions/apps will be limited however currently unable to get the LG Smart Store.
Youtube, Netflix and LG Smart store icons briefly appear in the apps list but then automatically disappear after doing 'Initialisation of Premium' via the standard menu, I'm guessing this is due to the Country/Area group its set to is wrong for the UK.
Unable to change the country group, Area option can be changed which alters the country group but none make any difference. So believe its the country group that needs changing.... -
by lalle-Hello!
I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
[OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www... - Loading...
