  • My HP printer has a special mode where it pretends to be a CD-ROM drive with the driver files on it. One time it entered this mode and I had to use a Windows machine to kick it back into normal printer mode. Couldn’t find any Linux way to do this.

    The rest of printing from Linux has been smoother than Windows though. I have a Linux machine run CUPS and that makes printing from Windows easy.













  • I’ve used Freecad for a few projects. It’s definitely usable, but the learning curve is really steep, even for someone who already knows other CAD. I don’t think the workflow/features are there yet for being able to use it professionally in most cases. It feels much more like an engineering tool than an industrial design tool, which is part of why I hold that opinion.

    I have not used Librecad. It’s 2D, right?
