Hey, all
After banging on the backspace issue all afternoon yesterday, I gave up in a
miasma of frustration and self-doubt. I spent yesterday evening trying to
get hpijs and my USB-connected HP 810C to play nice, which also ended in
failure. So imagine my surprise when my wife sends me a message this morning
saying, "Hey, the backspace works now. That's nice." That's nice, indeed;
it was also news to me that I had succeeded.
Apparently, I should have been restarting X every time I made a change?
Either that, or she's secretly a *nix admin and got tired of my bumbling. I
remember trying to figure out how to bounce X in case it was relevant, and
giving up on it. Perhaps I should have given that issue a little more time
;^)
Anyway, because of the stealth nature of the solution, I don't know who to
thank. I suspect that Mike and John are the likeliest candidates, but a warm
thanx to everyone who offered an opinion or suggestion.
Now, on to printing and scanning....
