I would like to add my thanks to Hippy for his working solution. Had exactly the same problem - i.e. the recommended method just did not work. Wasted hours on it.

Thanks - Item 2 seems to fit the bill. I do have a static IP address (for the router) but I get the same problem if I set 'mydomain either to 'localhost' (the 192. local address) or the fully qualified domain name for the static IP.

Gentlefolk, I use a RPI as a mail server with postfix for outgoing mail only. It works very well. Sometimes mail gets refused (Invalid HELO) - probably because my email address differs from the domain name from which my sent mail originates. I understand that this is due to some wonderful RFC which ...

This might be of interest. I wanted to develop a method where the GPS gathering was looped in a child process in order that the parent could go away and do other things, referring to the GPS data when required via shared memory. I also wanted to be independent of other GPS library functions.This use...

Adding a 'VNC' printer does this job - well most of the time. It does seem a bit variable though, for example on occasions I can print from Leaf, but not from Libre Office. Sadly there seems to be little documentation on how this works, but when it does work, the results are perfect.

I take my hat off, in that you have gone farther with this exercise than I have! I will follow the thread with interest.

mw0sec

Agreed - but sadly that does not help.

No secret! It is a Dell 1320C colour laser jobbie. I did not bother to mention that, as some time ago I did post a request for knowledge of any drivers suitable for it using the mighty Raspberry. I did find one which works for another linux variant which I use on a PC (dual boot), but zilch that wil...

No, I've done an exhausting search and these seems to be nothing available for this O.S. For the odd occasion where necessary I can of course just copy the file and then print, but being a bit of a perfectionist it would be nice to do the job properly!

mw0sec

Yes, Google print is worth a look. Seems a bit of a sledge hammer/nut relationship, but probably less of a pain than sharing the file to print, given that the kit lives in different locations! Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a printer which is sadly not supported with any of the cups stuff, nor is there a linux driver for it. Given that my windows machine DOES have it's suitable driver, I was wondering if there is a sneaky way to share the windows printer such that it uses its own driver to do the actual printing?

mw0sec

You should be OK by simply copying in /etc/resolv.conf to postfix. Make sure though that it does contain a couple of valid DNS name servers e.g. 8.8.8.8

Oh you mean "HPPCL - Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited"? Nice to know they support printers

mw0sec

Forgive my ignorance, but what is that HPPCL stuff? Incidentaly, the 1320 is not a postscript printer.

I was wondering if anyone had actually succeeded to get a DELL 1320C printer to work with Raspberian/CUPS? I thought I could dodge the issue by using a Windows machine as a print server, but still some local files are required... I'd reckon that the 1320C must be the most anonymous printer ever made...

If you are talking about the lxterminal on the PI, The font can be changed from small to really huge by selecting the edit tab at the top, preferences/style/terminal font. This brings up a selector for a great range of sizes. The great thing is that the system remembers this setting even after reboo...

G'day. Name is Les and allegedly retired. I do engineering work for an ordnance disposal company. They wanted a data logger for magnetometry work. Although new to the PI, it seemed to fit the bill and I was not disappointed! I am amazed at the facillities available (hardware & software.) As a former...
