I’m configuring a D-Link DP 300U multiport print server for use at home with OpenSuSE 10.0 and I thought I’d keep some notes on my linux adventures here.

DLINK print servers listen on ports 9100, 9101 and 9102 for multiport models and 9100 for the single port models

So all I have to do is configure my CUPS printing to point to the IP address of the print server and the port numbers are 9100 = LPT1; 9101 = LPT2 and 9102 = USB.

BTW the DP 300U defaults to 192.168.0.10 but if someone else has configured it, the only way to reset it to factory default is to download the D-Link windows software from the D-Link site, connect the PC and the DP300U to a hub and let the software find it. Then you can configure the device.

I was chatting to my friend Sim’ about blogs and stuff when I raised del.icio.us and he said

I looked at del.icio.us … yet another web system of questionable value was my analysis unless you can convince me it’s worth the effort ?

That’s when I realised I didn’t get delicious until I saw a couple of screencasts about it. Specifically Charlie at This is going to be BIG! produced a screencast for integrating del.icio.us into the Firefox browser and John Udell created del.icio.us: the screencast.
