| I have just noted the existance of mp4 for OS 5.07, have read the release
| notes and recent postings here. Two questions:
|
| 1. We are using BackupEDGE 1.02.04. Does mp4 break this earlier version?
No one has said so (yet). But as it has to do with the use of a
Microlite-supplied encryption library, and B/E 01.02.04 didn't have
encryption capabilities, I'll wager the answer is, "no problem".
| 2. I'm confused about changes to the printer subsystem (CUPS and SYSV
| printers). We are not using rlp. There are printers configured using HP
| Jetadmin utility from scoadmin with /dev/null as their listed devices.
| There are printers the are configured using facetwin where the devices are
| pipes in the facetwin directory tree. There are dot matrix printers
| connected to Digi serial ports. What happens to the printers and their
| interface files when CUPS is installed as part of mp4? should I not install
| CUPS?
Nothing happens to what you're successfully doing. SYSV printing
remains the default setting in /etc/default/lpd, unless one day you
decide to set it to CUPS. In the meantime you can use CUPS printing
facilities by adding the '--cups' option to various commands such as
lp or lpstat or cancel or accept. IOW, you can explore CUPS printing
without having to demolish your already-working printer setups.
