@scottalanmiller Is Matomo,Open Web Analytics,AWStats of any value. I suspect am I asking as to whether tying into the Google World provide any advantage. or will the other software provide me with the data I need. as for as data , I only really need traffic, visits, pages, how long they stay, or pages they view. Basic ( in my mind) , to see whether traffic is increasing/decreasing , and which pages draw the most interest. The audience is local, services provided don't extend beyond the local area , pop, ~1.4 million

I understand, a summary of all your previous blogs, I was hoping for something with a little more detail, ( I did say hoping)
as in a pdf , a primer. Perhaps I am trying to 'game' the learning process. I haven't had to deal with web pages in many years, and I see change in the only constant.

I have been coerced into the 'seo' arena. I have read Scott's post and associated threads. Very informative. The 'net has
so much on the subject, and a lot of 'snake oil', I am wondering if anybody knows of a good primer I could utilize/follow to get started. Also, google analytics, necessary, optional, ....... thanks kindly

@scottalanmiller I haven't done hundreds, but close to 100, and Scott's experience is exactly the same as mine.

@Obsolesce Step1 was to get the printing working. Now that it is working, I will be investigating as to whether the PCL6 driver works, or the universal drivers. They have with other older HP printers, this particular one didn't. thus the reason I presented the situation to the group. I am appreciative of all responses

Interesting enough, I changed the usb port ( new workstation) from the usb 3 port to the usb 3.1 port, and it started working as expected, (using the pcl5 driver I had installed earlier) Why, I do not know. When I examine further I will update.
Thank you for your comments.

@black3dynamite Yes i did, i installed the pcl5 drivers from their website , the .inf etc.
I didn't look at any of the event logs, ( sigh), I had better do that before I make more submissions.

Having trouble getting an older HP laserjet (4300 series) to work on a recently upgraded win 10 workstation. I have in the recent past, used older drivers ( pcl5) and was worked well. printer connect with centronics to usb cable, and Win 10 does recognize the printer.

Does anybody know of a simple utility to convert .cgm files into something more common, less proprietary ?

@pattonb to get an idea of how many dupes use the following

fdupes -r -m /directory(share to scan)
