Setting a network printer is easy as setting up most any other printer. You need to know about the printer location make and model. You will also need some administrative rights to install the printer. In this case, we will be using the Cups web based utility to accomplish adding the printer. First, if you do not already have access, you need access. $ sudo adduser $USER lpadmin Adding user `eddie' to group `lpadmin' ... Adding user eddie to group lpadmin Done. Note: for more command line goodies, see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html Note if you do not get the cups page in the browseryou will need to install it. $ sudo apt-get install cups Whew, that is all the command line you need to do. Now you need to open your web browser to "localhost:631". Localhost is just a generic name so you do not have to use your real ipaddress.  When you first go to Cups, you will be asked some rudimentary  questions about your setup. Then you need t...

The address you need to read from is the address of the parallel port (usually 378h) + 1; so the usual address is 379h. As i mentioned before, the pins used for input are 10-13 and 15. Reading the different pins is little harder than writing to the ports, as you have to mask out the pins your not interested in. When you read the port, the first 3 bits returned are not used. For example, the qbasic code below would read pin 12 (out of paper). When this port is high, "Out of paper / pin 12 toggled" will be displayed:   data = inp(&h379) IF (data and 32) = 32 then print "Out of paper / pin 12 high" The table be...

Most people say you do not need to soak legumes before cooking. Unless, we are in a hurry then we usually do not. Personally the yield seems to be larger when you do pre-soak legumes such as lentils.  We like to immerse lentils in warm water from the tap with a little bit of baking soda. Cooking time is reduced, therefore you save on energy. Be also sure to drain the lentils and use fresh water for boiling. By the say, do not leave theme there too long or they will start to ferment. That is another story.

Made an antenna guessing at the specs. Also did it do see how critical the angle of the dipoles were. Antenna pattern: http://web.archive.org/web/20130610164242/http://tradewhen.com/Log-Periodic-Pattern.pdf Original version: The antenna did not work that well. So I went back and looked at the original picture and noticed the angle was quite different. Oops, the original angle used was a bit wide. Hmm. S/B: Now, the new version with the corrected angle. Now to test it. Tested average.... Other antennas to look at:  http://www.instructables.com/id/Antennas-TV-Wifi-and-etc/ A bit about antennas:
