Mac client printing to Cups server on Linux…

So, I had quite a lot of head scratching today trying to get printing to work from my wife's iBook to the spanking new installation of SUSE Linux 9.3 I put on my fileserver. It just wouldnt work, while my linux laptop printed totally happy in the meanwhile. The problem was OS X tried to use /ipp/printername as the URI, while CUPS was serving /printers/printername...

After a lot of googling I found out this mailing list archive where Andrew Schretter helps a fellow geek:

"Bill,
On OSX clients I've had to hold the Option key while clicking on Add printer. This brings up an advanced menu that lets you choose http as the protocol intead of ipp. Then you can specify the same URL as for Windows and it should work for the GUI. Why this little undocumented menu is hidden is beyond me."

I think I can agree with the comment as well..

Broken feeds problem…

So if you, like me, upgraded to the new shiny Wordpress 1.5.1 and then later noticed that your RSS feeds are broken, you might be delighted to know that there is a fix for the problem. Patching my blog with the wp-blog-header.diff on that page fixed my feeds at least.

Good bye wisdom!

..teeth! The last one was pulled out today. It went pretty smoothly, so dont worry about gory details - there are not many. The tooth snapped in two though, which felt slightly interesting, but all in all it was a lot less scary than what I anticipated. Should have taken pics of the tooth I guess. I hope it heals quickly.

Now my teeth should be in pretty good working order, after one root canal and this I feel much more excited about brushing my teeth every morning and night. Visiting the dentist gives motivation for that..
