0x4E4F,

The first experience with anything can make a world of a difference ☺️. Good thing I’m stubborn 😂.

0x4E4F,

That might be one of the very few cases.

Try searching online for cups filters. Maybe someone made a custom filter file for that printer that works… worth a shot 🤷. I’ve had luck hunting down custom filters for some obscure printers in the past.

Setting up a shared printer in Windows is (could be) a PITA though… not being able to choose SMB versions can make your Linux setups with SMB a pain 😔. That’s why I prefer Linux with samba as the print server, you can fine tune almost everything to make it work with any Windows and Linux install.

0x4E4F,

Have no idea what that is to be honest 😂.

0x4E4F,

That’s why I keep a 20m ethernet cable handy at all times 😂.

0x4E4F,

Use that till the drivers get released… temporary solution, but there isn’t a better one at the moment 🤷.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Have you checked what bands (channels) the repeater and the router use?

0x4E4F,

Or switch wifi cards, have done that as well when there was no other option.

0x4E4F,

I just think you’ve had the luck of not having a lot of unsupported hardware on Linux 😂.

Yes, in general, things are OK driver wise, but remember when we had to resort to ndiswrapper to get wifi working… yeah, that was a pain 😔.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, they came in later on and that’s why I think they were “better”… learned from experience with the wifi drivers. And they weren’t really better, most of them still use binary blobs.

0x4E4F,

Trust me when I say this, that wasn’t always the case 😔.

0x4E4F,

What about cups, they have no driver for that printer there?

I have a LaserJet 1000, 20+ years old, only works Linux and Windows x86 😂… so I just set up a peint server and shared it 🤷.

0x4E4F,

See if they’re overlapping, do a survey with your phone and WiFiAnalyzer (or another app). If they’re close or overlapping, set the router to a fixed channel as well.

Also, true story, LTSC 2019 can’t see shares from LTSC 2021, but the opposite works without a problem 🤣. It was a bug, they eventually fixed it, but took them like a year or so (they threw the ball at users, not setting up the shares correctly 😒), and I already reinstalled all rigs with LTSC 2019, so… too late MS 🤷… I haven’t used LTSC 2021 from that point on.

0x4E4F,

Take way too much space… I dual boot on the same drive 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Snapshot software works with subvolumes, not with partitions.

0x4E4F,

Hm, will check it out, thanks for the suggestion 😉.

0x4E4F,

Yep, you just add/remove them with btrfs tools.

0x4E4F, (edited )

I haven’t tried it. Does it have like daily, weekly, monthly snapshots setup?

0x4E4F,

Yeah, Ubuntu does it as well. But other distros not based on Ubuntu, don’t.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, I’m thinking between that and rsync-ing to a new subvolume… the install is just bare bones, almost nothing was set up.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, it’s a nice way to avoid an argument 👍.
