HP Laserjet 2300 works for network printing
By tiborh, using Ubuntu 7.10 on Tue, 23 Oct 2007 12:00:53 -0400 (Edit | Delete)
I am using the 2300 that is connected to an external HP Jetdirect 175x USB print server. Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 didn’t find the Jetdirect automatically on network scan so after Clicking new printer, under Select Connection, Devices I chose AppSocket/HP JetDirect and manually entered the printserver’s IP address and left the port on the default 9100, Chose manufacturere HP, Chose Model Laserjet 2300.

This is a huge Multi-Function Networked Document Center type color laserjet Copier/Printer/Scanner/… I haven’t tested any network scanning or any other advanced functions but the network printing capability of the Bizhub C351 worked automatically right out of the box. The device was found on the network automatically when I clicked on New printer, the default recommended Konica driver worked as well.

2. Password: *******
3. Journal type: Movable Type

How to change font colors on the Gnome panel in Ubuntu Gutsy and Feisty
October 11, 2007 by tibor · Leave a Comment
These are the steps for Gutsy (See bottom for Feisty)
If these steps don’t work for you check out the TROUBLESHOOTING section at the very bottom of the page, please.
1. Alt+F2
2. gedit ~/.gtkrc-2.0
3. Insert the following 1 line below:
include “/home/<user_name>/.gnome2/panel-fontrc”
3-Remark: In the path above change the <user_name> value to whatever your username is, for example: include “/home/tibor/.gnome2/panel-fontrc”
4. Save, Close
5. Alt+F2
6. gedit /home/<user_name>/.gnome2/panel-fontrc
6-Remark: Same applies to <user_name> as in 3-Remark
7. Insert the following 6 lines below:
style “my_color”
{
fg[NORMAL] = “#4353b6″
}
widget “*PanelWidget*” style “my_color”
widget “*PanelApplet*” style “my_color”
8. Save, Close
9. Alt+F2
10. killall gnome-panel
Explanations:
The fg[NORMAL] = “#4353b6″ line’s #4353b6 hex value represents your font color on the panel.
To find hex values of colors just run the gcolor2 utility. Once you picked your preferred color just change the hex code in fg[NORMAL] = “#??????” and save the file and do another killall gnome-panel. Which is steps 5-10

For Feisty I have tested and confirmed the directions here:

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Update: 10/18/2007
I found that when I copy / pasted the above code from this page into the 2 configuration text files that we created with gedit that I had to delete and redo all of the ” quotation mark symbols to make things work.
