Red Hat

Hi, Michael:

Happy to be of help.

With regard to your printing issue, I don't have a clue. Hopefully, someone else knows the answer. I've barely printed anything during the past 5 years and I haven't even used Linux regularly since the 1990s (Red Hat Linux 5.2). The last time I used OpenOffice was the late 1990s (maybe 2000); it took all night to download on a 56kbps dialup connection and was still known as StarOffice.

If you are able to build a recent browser on your RHL9 system, or find a precompiled (statically-linked or not) binary on the internet that runs well on your system, please do report back. I'd be interested in the details and it may be of use to others running end-of-lifed linux distributions.

I can sympathize with your reluctance to abandon all the hard work you've put into your setup. While not to the same degree, most of my machines are a bit behind the cutting edge as well. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity.

Regards,
Alister

I have several current Gnuplot scripts that work well with the latest version of Gnuplot sitting on top of recent Ubuntu. When I attempt to use these scripts with an older version of Gnuplot (version 3.7, patch level3) on RH 9, they will not work.

Can someone advise me how to get these scripts working with Gnuplot on RH9? Should I change the syntax of the scripts or try to compile a newer version of Gnuplot on RH9? Which version?

Going to a later LINUX will not be an option.

Thanks.

Michael

I have several scripts for a recent version of Gnuplot on top of Ubuntu, which I would like to use in an earlier version 3.7, patch level 3 that I am using with RH9. They won't work. Is there some way to get them going on this earlier version? Should I adapt the scripts to version 3.7 or try to get a later version of Gnuplot compiled and installed on RH9. Which version and where to find it?

For various reason using a later version of LINUX is not an option.

Thanks for any advice offered.

Can someone recommend a printer that will print A4 format with Red Hat 9.0? I guess I am asking for a printer with available drivers.

Is the HP 2200 a useable printer with Red Hat 9.0?

The only third-party driver available for the HP Laserjet P1102 will not print properly an A4 page. Is the problem with the driver or CUPS?

Thanks for any help.
