Hi,
I'm having a hard time finding out what A3 color printer is compatible with Sun Solaris 5.2. I've checked with Hewlett Packard already and there's no driver available so that I can print
using Unix.
What type of HP Printer are you using ?
You can visit this HP link and im sure the available driver helps you.
Hi Killerserv,
I want to use Hewlett-Packard CP 1700D w/ part no. C8106A. The problem is there's no available driver for Unix only MAC OS and Windows.
OpenOffice and StarOffice are the best office suites that i have ever seen for Linux. They are much better than MS office. Staroffice recently started charging for it. OpenOffice is still free though and they are almost the exact same. They are compatible with MS office formats too.
Does the latest version of StarOffice and OpenOffice have support for TrueType fonts?
The 5.2 version of StarOffice had TTF support in StarCalc, the spreadsheet application but the word processor package did not have native support (getting it to support TTF is a pain in the buttocks).
The best distribution i have used (and yes i've used nearly all of the major ones) is Mandrake 8.2. Its easy for the newbie, and is perfect for the developer, and for server use as well. Get it from www.linuxiso.org
www.openoffice.org is by far the best office program for linux. Its as good or better than microsoft word in my opinion. There is also a windows version. Download it from www.openoffice.org
Staroffice is now no longer free. openoffice is as good anyway.
hope that helps.
