[clue] CLUE talks

[foo7775 at comcast.net]

Well, in all honesty, I have *very* little knowledge on the advanced stuff that you mention - I have a project that's kind of "on the back burner" that involves 'Follow-Me printing' (probably pretty similar to the 'print & hold' that you've mentioned). What I'm *initially* thinking about is something that's a bit more basic than that, you know, how to determine if my printer's supported, installation/troubleshooting, connectivity issues, etc. Hell, it could very well be too basic for this group... 

Thanks for the reply!

I too have found printing on Linux to pale in comparison to other OSs, especially when it comes to more advanced printing like print and hold or embedded document servers on copiers, etc. I for one would be interested to hear what you have learned.

OK, I'm approximately 98.78% sure that I'm going to regret this, but... 

How long are CLUE speakers expected to talk?? I've been "dinking around" with Linux (well, the RH/Gentoo variants) for a number of years, but I've never felt as though I've had enough knowledge in any one area that I felt like I could reasonably offer suggestions/advice to anyone else. 

However, due to a peculiar set of circumstances in my current position, I've more-or-less been _forced_ to become my business-unit's "SME" on a topic that no one else knew anything about, & to be real honest, I've thought that -as much as I've benefited from others who have been willing to help me out- maybe I could kind of "pay it back" a bit. I'm *SURE AS HELL* not saying I'm an expert on the topic, but like I've said, I've had no choice but to learn enough to be functional, & to do a decent amount of troubleshooting, so I'm fairly sure that I can be of *some* help to the "average" Linux user... (And what the hell, that'll fill one month's "speaker" position, right??) ;-) 

Oh, the topic that I've had to deal with?? Not *entirely* sure how many people will be interested, but it's 'printing from Linux'. I don't know about anyone else, but until the last little while, I looked at printing from Linux as something that was vile, nasty, evil, & profoundly *wrong* in a very-basic sense. (OK, in all honesty, I *STILL* see it that way...) I'm sure that a number of people on this list are "old hats" with this - but if there are any others who have consciously avoided this subject on their own systems, & who would be interested in learning some basic competency, I'd probably be willing to see if I could help others the same way that I've been helped... 

(OK, make that ninety-NINE.78%!!) ;-)
