DaemonFCthat was kind of my first thought when I plugged my HP printer in and Mandriva had no idea what to do with itJan 10 06:04
DaemonFCyou'd think that with a whole DVD, they could have stuffed HPLIP somewhereJan 10 06:05
DaemonFCit's kind of funny that HP open sources their printer drivers on Linux, in that their favorite trick to instantly obsolete a working printer has been to not make drivers for newer versions of WindowsJan 10 06:07
DaemonFCI know I'd be pissed if I had just bought a $100> printer and then a year later, Vista comes along and just isn't having itJan 10 06:12
DaemonFCseen a lot of people get fucked like thatJan 10 06:12
DaemonFChmmm, I think all these "trade groups" should get together under one unified bannerJan 10 06:19
neighborleeoiaohm: blender can be very non user friendly at first yesJan 10 06:19
neighborleeoiaohm: but, version 2.5/2.5 coming out , will change all that..its much more ,,intuitive ;)Jan 10 06:20
oiaohmThe 2.5.0 alpha is a lot more user friendly.Jan 10 06:20

oiaohmDaemonFC: There is a reason for the great HP support on Linux.Jan 10 06:20
DaemonFCit could absorb the BSA, ESA, and RIAA/MPAAJan 10 06:20
oiaohmThe write the drivers once release the source code and never have to touch it again.  DaemonFCJan 10 06:20
DaemonFCas well as most of broadcast televisionJan 10 06:20
DaemonFCthe BSA really is just a front for Microsoft I thinkJan 10 06:21
DaemonFCI don't see anyone else in it that comes to mindJan 10 06:22
oiaohmDaemonFC: Basically supporting working printers under Windows cost HP more development time.Jan 10 06:22
oiaohmCosts is the pure issue.Jan 10 06:22
cubezzzit's protocols that countJan 10 06:22
DaemonFCyeah, if they make a new driver, they can't sell you another printerJan 10 06:23
cubezzze.g. are they public knowledge Jan 10 06:23
DaemonFCtheir "Windows" of opportunity to make your printer not work happen every 5 years or soJan 10 06:23
cubezzzin the old days we got programming manuals with our printersJan 10 06:23
DaemonFCbetter do it nowJan 10 06:23
cubezzzhence the horrible rise of windows only devices, which I think is endingJan 10 06:24
cubezzzhopefullyJan 10 06:24
DaemonFCcubezzz: I also don't see a typical person being able to program anythingJan 10 06:24
oiaohmhttp://www.cups.org/software.php#USING_WINDOWS  Note MS changing how to do print drivers is also a head ache for this.Jan 10 06:24
phIRCe-localTitle: Download - CUPS .::. Size~: 13.99 KBJan 10 06:24
DaemonFCthat's the cause of a lot of frustration when you sit down in front of a system based on something that had the assumption that all its users were programmers in mindJan 10 06:24
cubezzzyes but without programming specs and open protocols it's going to be hard for _anyone_ to make a good driverJan 10 06:25
cubezzz_someone_ has to write itJan 10 06:25
oiaohmBasically HP theory is once the printer is past a particular age you hook it up to a mac or linux box.Jan 10 06:25
oiaohmNote Macs support hp printers perfectly.Jan 10 06:25
oiaohmIts only windows users who suffer.Jan 10 06:25
cubezzzthat implies that they release programming docs lateJan 10 06:25
DaemonFCyeah, it's so much nicer to be able to pop in a driver disc than wait around forever on the off chance that someone else makes a driver you can useJan 10 06:25
oiaohmFull specs to HP printers are out there if MS wanted to write the drivers.Jan 10 06:26
cubezzzit's the scanners that worry me more than the printersJan 10 06:26
DaemonFCMicrosoft only makes a few very essential, usually generic core driversJan 10 06:26
oiaohmApple and Linux Distributions take care of creating the HP drivers that is why it works so well.Jan 10 06:26
cubezzzso probably I will go Epson and forget about HP unless things changeJan 10 06:26
DaemonFCpast that, they bundle or offer whatever the manufacturer gave themJan 10 06:26
cubezzzlook what Microsoft does...Jan 10 06:27
cubezzzthey obsolete things on purposeJan 10 06:27
cubezzzyou even noted that yourselfJan 10 06:27
DaemonFCMicrosoft isn't as bad about that as a lot of hardware makersJan 10 06:27
cubezzzas bad as who?Jan 10 06:28
oiaohmhttp://hp-linux.cern.ch/support/devscanner.php3  You find most HP scanners work like HP printers.Jan 10 06:28
oiaohmIe support out box.Jan 10 06:28
cubezzznoJan 10 06:28
DaemonFCtypically, you can use a particular version of Windows for 5 years and expect major updates to it, like service packs and the "Vista Platform Update" type stuffJan 10 06:28
cubezzzI've done a ton of work on this and I know betterJan 10 06:28
cubezzzsingle function devices, no Jan 10 06:28
DaemonFCthen for 5 more years it goes into extended support which technically only covers bug patches and security patchesJan 10 06:29
cubezzzthey signed NDA's with Analog DevicesJan 10 06:29
cubezzzso no chip docsJan 10 06:29
DaemonFCbut they still throw in things like DirectX updates, IE, Media PlayerJan 10 06:29
oiaohmok you mean the out sourced ones cubezzzJan 10 06:29
cubezzzoiaohm, probabyJan 10 06:29
oiaohmAll the analog devices ones don't come out hp factories.Jan 10 06:29
cubezzzoiaohm, I wrote to the HP devs asking for a current single function device that was a scanner with programming docsJan 10 06:30
DaemonFCa lot of companies that have to use components or firmware from other companies have to use NDAs or keep the specs of the device secretJan 10 06:30
cubezzzI was told there was no such device availableJan 10 06:30
DaemonFCit would be nice if there weren't so many MPEG and Windows Media files floating aroundJan 10 06:31
DaemonFClicensing fees on those add to the purchase price, even if you don't use themJan 10 06:31
cubezzzI specifically wrote to the HP dev group for scanners Jan 10 06:31
DaemonFC*of portable hardwareJan 10 06:31
cubezzzSCL was obsolete I was toldJan 10 06:32
cubezzzbefore I was programming with SCL directlyJan 10 06:32
DaemonFCmandatory Microsoft/MPEG tax on a device I bought for its Vorbis supportJan 10 06:32
DaemonFCprobably only $1, but I still don't want to pay them :PJan 10 06:32
cubezzzso stuff like HP 5200C (very old, but still works) no problemsJan 10 06:32
cubezzzHP 4470C big time problemJan 10 06:33
cubezzzI got tired of itJan 10 06:33
DaemonFCI got into an argument with someone about 7-8 years ago, who seemed to think that MPC was going to find some kind of hardware supportJan 10 06:33
DaemonFCI asked him what particular drugs he was onJan 10 06:33
cubezzzactually any media which I have bought (like wmv) I was able to remove DRMJan 10 06:34
DaemonFCI've never "bought" any music or movie files that have DRMJan 10 06:34
DaemonFCyou're not really buying anything in that case, even if it says you areJan 10 06:34
cubezzzwell puretracks used DRM in the pastJan 10 06:35
cubezzzthey use it less and less nowJan 10 06:35
DaemonFCI hate DRMJan 10 06:35
cubezzznow I think watermarking is all the rageJan 10 06:35
DaemonFCI hate DRM enough that it makes my purchase decision contingent on its not being thereJan 10 06:36
cubezzzDRM isn't a big problem, secret communication protocols areJan 10 06:36
DaemonFCI don't care what it is, I don't want anything bad enough to purchase it in DRM or WMA formatJan 10 06:36
cubezzzno DVDs with CSS then? :)Jan 10 06:37
DaemonFCthere's a reason all the DRM WMA stores went bankruptJan 10 06:37
DaemonFCcubezzz: CSS is not really DRMJan 10 06:37
*tessier__ is bummed that the freenx in f12 is brokenJan 10 06:37
DaemonFCit's there to make sure that you're player's MPEG tax is paid upJan 10 06:38
DaemonFC*yourJan 10 06:38
tessier__The printer situation is crazy. There is no need to have different drivers for different printers.Jan 10 06:38
DaemonFCnobody has sued over libdvdcss, but I suspect that a hardware maker using it to help circumvent the MPEG tax would get their ass sued offJan 10 06:39
cubezzzre: printers, this is a new problem, in the past it was all fineJan 10 06:39
tessier__Fortunately hardware is cheap enough that any printer worth owning supports postscript these days.Jan 10 06:39
oiaohmcubezzz if you go to sane you will see all the modern HP sanners most are drivers for other makes of scanners to operate.  Bascailly hp is not chipsetting any more.Jan 10 06:39
cubezzzoiaohm, yeah I've seen itJan 10 06:39
cubezzzthere could have just kept making HP 5200C'sJan 10 06:40
cubezzztheyJan 10 06:40
cubezzzbut no one ever does that, except Commodore and they are long goneJan 10 06:40
oiaohmcubezzz: so the problem comes find out what chipset and contact the chipset maker for the data sheet.  Lot of cases those chipset makers are nice.  cubezzzJan 10 06:41
oiaohmcubezzz: HP sign a NDA to protect everything include the design inside the chip.Jan 10 06:41
cubezzzoiaohm, Analog Devices refused my request for chip informationJan 10 06:41
oiaohmBugger so reversing it is.Jan 10 06:41
cubezzzoiaohm, HP 4470C took me 5 yearsJan 10 06:42
cubezzzI was just stubbornJan 10 06:42
oiaohmThe more Linux devices that get out there the less stubbon companies like Analog Devices will be.Jan 10 06:42
oiaohmIt will be a simple case do you want to sell product or not.Jan 10 06:43

DaemonFCschestowitz: I managed to find an AoTuv PPA for Ubuntu finallyJan 10 19:26
DaemonFCI wonder why nobody is shipping that libvorbis by defaultJan 10 19:27
DaemonFCthe official one looks like crap in comparisonJan 10 19:27
schestowitzDaemonFC: OKJan 10 19:27
DaemonFCI think that if Xiph.org has stuck a fork in it, AoTuv needs to become the new de facto standardJan 10 19:27
DaemonFCit's just one of those things that's griped me for a whileJan 10 19:27
DaemonFCthe source code is there, it's clearly better, no distribution ships itJan 10 19:28
DaemonFCit just smells of politicsJan 10 19:28
DaemonFCI just wonder why superior forks get to sit out in the cold while the official project is sitting there with their collective thumb up their collective ass and hasn't done anything meaningful to the mainline project in almost 5 yearsJan 10 19:30
DaemonFCI think someone needs to go blow the dust off Xiph.org, goose Monty, and try to get a new official release so all these Linux distributions have a better Vorbis encoder than Windows users are likely to find after 1 minute of GooglingJan 10 19:31
DaemonFCschestowitz: It does matter and you should care, because you could easily use AoTuv and save some bandwidthJan 10 19:32
DaemonFCI don't know how much your Ogg media uses, but if it's a lot, then being able to switch from 64kbps to 48 would still put a dent in your billJan 10 19:33
DaemonFCit also affects your videos because the encoders on Linux for Theora are encoding the audio part with whatever libvorbis is handyJan 10 19:34
