Getting an HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Woirking With Gutsy 7.10
02/01/2008 by mtn.
The HP LaserJet 1018 printer stopped working for some reason, although it had worked out-of-the-box. This thread on the Ubuntu forums sorted things tho, specifically using the code below.
$ wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/firmware/sihp1018.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf sihp1018.tar.gz
$ arm2hpdl sihp1018.img > sihp1018.dl
$ sudo cp ./sihp1018.dl /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl
$ sudo cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0

Re-Encoding AVI Using Mencoder
02/01/2008 by mtn.
I had a home movie file that was not playing well on the Neuros OSD so I checked out how to re-encode it. This page was, introduction to Mencoder Specifically I followed these instructions.
mencoder original-movie.avi -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=800 -o new-version-of-movie.avi
Once re-encoded the movie worked perfectly.
