Printing broken for HP LJ1150 over Lan
All of sudden today I cannot print to my LaserJet 1150, although all other Win boxes can. The printer is connected via USB to a MacMini and shared over Lan. It's rather embarrassing.
When I attempt to print from say Safari, I get a dialog that says "Print - Error while Printing. OK"
Please help. Thanks people, as always.
I checked my Console.log and I attach what I see:

Thanks greg,
I had already Safe Booted and then re-added the printer by the time I had read your post. All is fine for now.
Thanks.
PS Prior to Safe-Booting, I had deleted/re-added the printer a number of times. Every time I attempted to print after adding the printer, it just locked and reproduced the error. Only after Safe-Boot did it come back alive.

10.6. printing broken for HP printer,,how to fix6
Since upgrading to 10.6.6 my HP7850 printer is unavailable via USB.
I usually leave it connected via a USB printer port on the Vigor router, so other PC's in the house can print to it, but when needing to print something that needs better printer quality (photos) and control than the Gutenprint driver can offer, I unplug from the router and plug it directly in to the Mac
Since 10.6.6 it fails to work via USB direct to the Mac.
It was showing as Offline, even when it was Online, so I tried various USB ports, but no luck. I then tried to delete and re add the printer. from Sys Prefs Printer&Fax Pane. It fails to see the printer so can't add it.
Have Reset the printing System according to the help files on the Apple site, and downloaded the 10.6.6 HP driver pack from Apple.
Still it fails to see the printer.
It is on the Compatible printer list, and have also tried a selection of USB cables
I can still print to it when using the Gutenprint driver when connected via the network router, just not when plugged direct to the Mac.
Anyone know how to fix this ?With the printer connected via USB, open System Profiler and under the Hardware section select USB. In the right hand pane will be a list of the USB busses on the Mac. The HP should be listed under one of these busses. If it is not then this explains why it was not seen in the Default Add Printer browser. I suggest trying another USB printer cable and even disconnecting the power from the HP for a minute before reconnecting.
If the printer is showing under one of the bus lines but still fails to appear in the Default Add Printer view then please reply. -
Hi there,
I have to use hme for X.25 over LAN.
But I can't see the hme in the device list on x25tool screen.
I'm using SunLink X.25 9.0.
Is there any way ? Modify some config files ?
Thanks a lotHi franky,
I have just read your question with regards to configuring X.25
over a LAN connection.
What type/model of system is X.25 being configured on ?
Has the hme ethernet card been added recently to the system?
What devices do you have available to you ?
Are you referring to the list under:
Edit > Add Link > LAN > Device?
Do you see the hme definition under the Board definition list?
ie: Boards > Definition menu
If not add a new device specifying a symbolic name Path to device
which is /dev/hme, L for Lan device, number of lines/ports, MRU (usually 1515 for lan connections) and a Comment.
I hope that this helps;
Regards

HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.
I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.
Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
Reset the printing system:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1341
Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present. -
MacMini 10.6.8 Snow Leopard can't connect to Windows 7 PC Printer over LAN?
I've searched for solutions and have found several (1) here gets me close, and similar (later too) (2) here.
When I add the new printer using the syntax in link 1 above, which looks like this:
smb://Jack:[email protected]/EpsonStylusPhotoR320,
them try a test print, the message I read in the printer queue is "authetication required".
When I try to resume the held print job, OSX pops up a dialouge box with my Windows 7 PC User ID of Jack listed. I enter the password Jds02524 (which of course is already in the printer syntax string), and click resume, but the job goes back on Hold again and I see another error message reading "NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
SO I'm really stumped here and hoping for some expert help.

It's "hard" because printer sharing in Windows is mostly broken for anything other than Windows...and even then it's often unreliable. Me personally, I've stopped sharing printers and started buying network capable printers. For my older printers, I've placed them on print-servers. (A D-Link standalone one for my Epson and the USB port on a Apple Airport for my Canon.) Tons more reliable printing to a network printer in a mixed OS environment.
I know that's wasn't really the answer you were looking for, but consider the lack of respones you got.
Well thanks for taking the time to at least answer! I really appreciate it. -
my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!
It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Music Lab's "Midi Over LAN" broken?
Hi all,
I run "music lab's midi over lan" and am wondering if it doesn't work under the new OSX 10.4.9......
I was forced to update 1 of my slave G5s and now "MolCP" no longer worx...... I can't be certain that it is 10.4.9, but I'm trouble-shooting,
thanx in advance.
SvKEr, that's not forced, that's just not knowing any better!
You should have just gone to Apple and downloaded the 10.4.8 combo installer.

OSX updates are always recommended to be done from the full combo update, rather than the smaller cut-down software updates anyway. -
Hi,
Is anyone familiar with software that can stream audio over LAN, as is already possible with MIDIoverLAN? Replacing, say, a couple of ADAT ins and outs going from a sampler machine to a sequencing machine.
Best,
MaartenThis apparently does it (never got round to trying it myself):

Don't know how it stands up in practise, don't know anyone using it on a regular basis.
But doesn't Logic achieve this in and of itself with its 'Node' philosophy ? (Not used Logic myself, always been on DP).

Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts
On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
Here's the transcript:
SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?

SP7 tcp and 681j tcp broken for me.
Hello all,
I have this very long and storied journey that I hope you will read, as TCP is broken for me.
Facts:
Netware OES 6.5 sp7 and TCP681J domestic and Null.
TCP680b (working)
Dell 2650 server with Broadcom NiC, b57.lan version 10.41 (newest from dell and came with sp7)
PIX 515 code 8.0.2 performing dynamic and static NAT, with a DMZ
Novell DNS/DHCP
eDir 8.8 sp2
Okay here we go.
I was in a long battle with the Bordermanger people telling them that TCP was broken. Today I took my BM server out of the tree and rebuilt it from ground up. The problems I am having have nothing to do with BM as when I built this computer from scratch and just did routing, DNS doesn't work.
Okay, so I have a BRAND NEW server that I just built. I have two network interfaces, internal and external. The external is connect directly to the PIX 515 and the internal is connected directly to our internal network.
So, I turn on routing on this new server with SP7 on it, and I can not do a DNS lookup from the server. None of my DNS servers can do lookups, and none of my workstations pointing to my internal DNS servers can do lookups. My DNS servers have pointers to external DNS servers which are running. I can not even see my PIX firewall from inside my network, yet the BM can ping it just fine.
I patched to 681J and tried both Domestic and Null and got the same result.
Then I took the TCP 680b (TCP.NLM, TCPIP.NLM, BSDSOCK.NLM) and put it on the server. WOW, I CAN RESOLVE AGAIN! I can even browse the internet and get to my pix and DMZ.
So why don't I just stay this way? Because the connection to the PIX randomly drops. Again, I do not even have BM installed on this server. If I did, I would have 3.8 sp5 ir1.
Now, if I do the same thing with a POS workstation, build a Netware OES 6.5 sp7 server, everything works fine. Server hardware you ask. Maybe, but it must be specific to Dell 2650 and Broadcom NIC's because I built another server using the EXACT same hardware and got the same result. I also built this on a test Dell 830 server and it worked just fine.
I have proved this over and over and over again with my colleagues and we still don't get it; that we would be the only people with this problem.
Can someone help?
TomIgnore this previous post, it is late and I didn't read your post thoroughly.
Sorry

Tom I would seriously check your filtering configs and similar as I am running SP7 OK on 2 BM servers here.
1: Are DNS Queries allowed out through
a: Your PIX IP Filters (plug a machine direcly into your PIX and see if if you can query an external DNS Source)
if a: works
b: Your Netware IP Filters (Test drop your filters and see if you can ping an external host using its dns name
What is yor DNS Configuration?
Are your DNS Servers doing route lookups? or checking your ISP's DNS.
Agreed with Massimo. a quick bit of Wireshark on your DNS Servers might prove extremely helpful.
Hope this helps

Printing 1 page on screen over 8 pages- why?
Here's a frustrating print problem Yosemite:
The problem is that a single page document open On SCREEN prints multiple pages in large print size instead of the 1 page on screen
Example: Quicken 2007 updated for Yosemite has a financial one page report on screen with no indication it would take any more.
However it printed segments of the page over 8 pages;
There was NO indicator in the print areas showing it would be multiple gages I tried it again and it spread it over 4 pages.
ONLY by taking a screen shot and printing that one page screen shot was able to get the one page print to work correctly.
I've never had that problem in Quicken in other versions of software such as SL and Tiger.. And had not had it in Yosemite before.
What have I missed or overlooked????See this:

Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.
I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch. I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers. Hit the "+" button. The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it. The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success). I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn. Why is this method not working with this printer?
I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement. Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable. Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer. Successfully printed a document page. While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog. The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?
Ed
This question was solved.
View Solution.I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I was on the road all day yesterday.
OK. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network. That did not work. I swapped out the cable for one that I know works. Still no change. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router. No change. I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?
After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection? -

FTP/SFTP/FISH (etc) slow file transfer rate over LAN
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with transferring files over my home network that has been bothering me for quite some time.
I have a 802.11n router which should provide me with the transfer rate up to 150 Mbps (afaik). When I download files from the Internet, 3 MB/s data transfer rate is of no problem.
However, when receiving or sending data over LAN, the transfer rate is much slower (1.8 MB/s).
My rough guess is (after reading some papers on this topic) that TCP protocol is causing this (its flow control feature to be exact), since TCP max window size is too small on Linux by default.
So, setting TCP max window size to a greater number should solve this.
I tried putting this:
# increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt()
# 16 MB with a few parallel streams is recommended for most 10G paths
# 32 MB might be needed for some very long end-to-end 10G or 40G paths
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
# increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits
# min, default, and max number of bytes to use
# (only change the 3rd value, and make it 16 MB or more)
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
# recommended to increase this for 10G NICS
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000
# these should be the default, but just to be sure
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
in /etc/sysctl.conf but to no avail.
So either there is no problem with the max window size setting, or the Linux kernel ignores it (maybe because /proc is no longer supported?).
Thanks for any neat ideas.
