Amazing. I just recently read the story of that typeface being sunk there and considered it lost. The older I get, the more fascination comes from old-school printing and writing facilities and the idea of keeping information on paper, no matter how much effort it takes compared to digital means.

(print some nice sentences… and make ’em stick… e.g. to a traffic light post… )

for example:

it can do pictures fairly fast…

Run run !

hop, un p'tit print de plus, pas grand ( 10x15 cm). Plus de l’entraînement encore, mais j'affectionne toujours autant cette technique.

GNU Linux & sustainability: waste avoided & resources saved - another printer saved from trash - Brother MFC-8420 works perfectly fine with GNU Linux Debian 10

actually wanted give this printer to (still) windows user, then realizing… there is no f*** chance to install drivers within windows 10 for this elderly but just printing damn fine reliable black and white laser printer from brother, so…

• USB 2.0 hooked it up to GNU Linux Debian 10 box
• installed cups:
  • su – root
  • apt install cups
• downloaded https://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006893/linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
  • https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc8420_us
  • (excellent script! brothers!)
• unpack it:
  • gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
• mark it runnable:
  • chmod +x linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
• run it as root:
  • su – root
  • ./linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
• enter exact model like:
  • MFC-8420
  • yes…yes…yes…
• leave rest to automatic
• restart

fiddled a bit with the cups (reachable via browser localhost:631)

try modyfing the Connection type… then try printing those settings worked 🙂

thanks all involved!

GNU Linux for the sustainability win & waste avoided & resources saved!

[Feature request] In browser printing · Issue #10217 · mozilla-mobile/fenix

Ridiculous that in Firefox for Android it's still impossible to print! Come on, this is an essential feature.

Je continue dans mes essais de linogravure, un peu plus grand (A5).
J'ai encore de mal mais ça vient petit à petit, je commence aussi à être plus efficace sur l'impression, ça bave moins (même si ça manque de finesse dans le trait :/ )
Mais je continue et j'insiste !

Linogravure de nowel

Je prépare mes cadeaux de nowel, je me suis remis à la linogravure. Je suis partie sur une série de marque-page. Celui-là c'est pour ma grande, plutôt en accord avec son actualité.
Du coup je ferai quelques tirages en différentes couleurs (pas géniaux les tirages à la cuillère en bois...)
Je considère celle-ci comme la première des mais gravures vraiment aboutie.

(Sauras-tu reconnaître qui que c'est ?)
