Sometimes Linux does thinks properly... With little prodding, poking or frucking about. I like it when it does. It makes for a nice change. I'm at my brothers place in Sydney and I plugged in his Epson Stylus C43UX USB printer. I was expecting to have to go into the Printer Config app and hopefully find a driver that would work and hopefully get it going. I plugged it in, and within a couple seconds a window appeared on my screen asking me to choose a driver as the PC couldn't find an exact match. It had highlighted Epson Stylus C42UX driver (the closest match). I clicked OK as there wasn't a better alternative. I went into the RedHat/Fedora printer config applet and checked the driver settings. Nothing out of the ordinary. Cups has just successfully printed a test page. I'm quite impressed. This is what we want. Project Utopia is starting to make its mark. HAL and D-Bus are going to make Linux a much more user friendly system. Both Gnome and KDE will benefit too. The wait however, is intolerable. I want it now damn it... :) Now if I could only figure out why Evolution crashes whenever I try and add words to my dictionary.
