OKI COREFIDO C301dn on Linux

My lab has got some (network) printers from OKI for lab members to print their works. The model students can use are OKI COREFIDO C301dn. Most guys here running Windows 7 or 8 (just like anywhere else), and getting it running from my Slacktop (it's Salix 14.1) is some extra work.

A quick lookup at OpenPrinting redirects me to foo2hiperc, which provides PostScript-compatible hiperc driver wrapper (which I don't know what this hiperc thing is).

You just get to download the package from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz,
untar
$ make
$ getweb 301
# make install
add the printer from your cups manager using the PPD given by foo2hiperc.
--I am still running cups 1.5.4

Also, a little cite here:
All important desktop applications (GTK/GNOME, Qt/KDE, LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, ...) send print jobs in PDF and not in PostScript any more by default. In addition, a complete CUPS filter chain to process print jobs in PDF is available and used.
 wow!

A gift: a mouse

E-3LUE Fresco Pro (EMS 107)



Sean gave me this, a Japanese mouse (e-blue) which he bought in Indonesia, then I brought it back to Japan, lol.

Though nowadays, I use my cheapo wired mouse more often.

Anyway, thank you very much.
