Feisty Fawn Foul-Ups

Well, overall, the upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04 went OK. Problems so far:

* the hrxcode script I found for transcoding HD recordings to smaller Divx files no longer works. Not sure why. Wrote to the author with no reply. Will have to investigate... luckily it still works on my MythTV backend.

* There were some strange delays when ssh-ing over to some of my other computers, and bad delays when scp-ing. Found this post which solved the problem. Whew.

* Firefox crashes on me more, particularly when watching video.

* On the printing front, finally! Success! Instead of banging my head against the Samsung unified printer driver, someone pointed me to foo2qpdl (nice catchy name NOT) and this page which described exactly how to set it up. Worked great.
