A few Linux questions.

What's the latest and greatest ICQ client out there for Linux? I'm using mostly KDE2 in SuSE 7.3 Pro. I'd really like one that adheres to the 2001a/b standards that'd download my contact list. Gets kinda tedious using ICQ LIte in a Netscape window all the time. 🙂

Second, where can I find some good taskbar applets for CPU/RAM usage, bandwidth, etc.? I like the ones for Gnome, but not the ones KDE have.

And thirdly, I have a HP Laserjet 1200 printer that for the life of me won't print in Linux. It's USB connected. I tried switching to parallel to no avail. I am using CUPS
 
i found these via debian's apt:

also search freshmeat.net.....licq is the one i always hear about.

i use gkrellm for cpu/etc usage but i dont know if your'e lookin for one that fits in your taskbar or what. anyways gkrellm is like the 500 pound gorilla as far as those apps go, its skinnable, its the xmms of its category 🙂, and speaking of xmms, with gkrellmms you can controll xmms from gkrellm (thats what i do)

and printers - no clue
 
Yeah, I am lookin for something that goes into my taskbar.

I downloaded and installed licq, but it doesn't download my contact list. Blah!
