Has anyone got this set up and working properly? I have read god knows how many things on how to do this but still have been unable to get it to work. I tried using gimp with a downloaded template but it all came out the wrong size etc. I am not too bothered about printing images, just text.

I've been having some problems recently with Ubuntu and my Printer. I find that when using ubuntu, ink drains much faster, and constant refills are required. I know the printer works fine, I use it on windows when ubuntu Fails. Today I was trying to print a colour document out, this was with default config, standard print quality etc., this was the result. On the left you can see the document before printing, and on the right the printed document. (Click to open image in new window)
Example 1 >
Example 2 >
How to just get normal quality printing, without having to revert to ... windows? How can I consult the ink levels of the DX4450 from Ubuntu. I have tried both MtInk and Epsutils and both failed.

I've been able to print with other distros (Mint, Sabayon) without problem so I'm guessing the way my printer is configured with Slack must be wrong. My CX6600 is recognized and when I try to print, it responds, but by printing a page filled with black ink. I have tried printing in Okular, Firefox and OpenOffice with the same result.

I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 (64 bit). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer that used to work just fine. Apparently there was an update to the CUPS software that I applied and now the printer is no longer working.
Through examining the error_log file in /var/log/cups I found that two files were missing from /usr/lib/cups/filter. These files existed in the /usr/lib64/cups/filter directory so I linked them to the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory. That cleared up two errors.
When I send a "Print Self Test Page" command from the CUPS Printers page, I get the following error:
Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost
When I attempt to send a print job from an application like gedit or OpenOffice Writer, I get the following error:
Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost
I've crawled all through the openSUSE forums and 'googled' all sorts of variations for these errors and found nothing useful. I'm hoping someone here might have a clue as to where I might go next to fix this.
Like I said, it was working before and now it's not so there must be something in a recent CUPS release that has messed things up.

I've used windows all of my life, and never really looked at Linux, so thought it would be a good time to see outside of the box! I installed Ubuntu 9.10 a couple of weeks ago after reading a few Linux Newbie books and deciding it would be the best distro for me. Being completely new with Linux it's proving difficult doing certain things which I would have done with a couple of clicks in Windows, however I've managed to get past some of the problems after hours of searching and messing about. I managed to set my wireless network up, and with a great struggle my wireless printer using cups- which now seems to be printing fine over the network, its IP is 192.168.0.105. However even after reading lots of info and tutorials on Forums & Blogs nothing seems to work regards to my scanner (which is an all-in-one printer SX515W).
The information is completely overwhelming. I've been told to use iscan with the network plugin which I downloaded from [URL] after installing and running image scan or xscan the printer would scan for a couple of seconds and then it would stop, and I'd have to reset my printer. I read the documents supplied, blogs, and forums telling me to do certain things such as:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
add "net 192.168.0.105 1865"
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
[code]....
Like I said, being new to Linux I'm completely lost with what I'm doing or what I should be listing here! This is my last resort really, if I still can't get this thing working I may just give up because it's so stressfull!

I have an Epson Artisan 835 network printer hooked up to my desktop. I am running a wubi install of 10.10 and cannot get it to find the printer. I previously had an artisan 830 and it worked fine, however, this new printer is not recognized in the add printer application. So far I have install LSB 3.2, and then installed the rpm package for the artisan 835 using alien -i. Now I am at a loss for what to do.

I am doing work at an office that only uses Linux Ubuntu 9.10 . They have wireless printing setup on all of the computers there, except one of them isn't working. I was not the one who setup the wireless printers so I'm not clear on how to do this.

I have been trying to set up printing on my Fedora 10 machine so I can print with a remote printer on my LAN that is attached to a Windows XP machine. I went through the whole configuration process, selected a samba printer, put in the correct UNC and driver- it is an HP psc series 1210, the printer was detected when I selected browse during the configuration process so I know I've entered the right UNC. When I try to print a test page or anything for that matter the printer starts as if it is going to start printing but nothing happens. When I go into printer properties it tells me that I have a Remote Downlevel Document and that it is printing but nothing is happening. I've tried restarting the print spool service but nothing works.

I'm running Mint 9 as my main network and my wifes Acer Aspire 5610 running Windows vista. My problem is that I can't print from vista. It prints a test page just fine but when I tell it to actually print a document, the status says: "Access denied, unable to connect" I have 2 printers connected and they installed fine in Vista one is a HP LaserJet 2100 series and the other is an HP Photosmart C5280. Like i said, they both print the teat page just fine.

I finally got around to setting up my HP Photosmart c4580 AIO printer today to print wirelessly so that I don't have to be tethered to it with a USB. I found there are many different ways of doing this, each with limited success. So I took a crack at it and this is how I got it to work. (Just an FYI, I don't think that it matters but I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit.) Note: I have put in screen shots of the important steps. Also, I have linked at the bottom all the relevant shots. In a terminal type
Code:
hpsetup
After pushing enter a GUI will pop open call "HP Device Manager - Setup". There are four radio buttons, I selected the "Wireless/802.11 (requires a temporary USB connection and is only available for select devices)" one and then clicked Next.
Clicking Next opens a new window for Wifi Configuration. Read what it says (Which is; after configuration setup will continue, this configuration may not work, and connect your printer to your computer by a USB cable!) Now click "Next". Assuming you haven't forgotten to plug your printer into your computer (and turn it on) you will get a "Discovered Wireless Capable Devices" list with something on it. If you do not have anything listed under "Model" and "Device URI" check all your connections and the power to your printer and click refresh. If still nothing I am sorry but this setup has failed you, but if you are lucky and something shows up, click on it and then click next. You have to have wireless internet to continue. The step you are on now has you select your wireless internet connection. Find your's and click next.
Now in the next screen you have to enter in your password for your wireless internet, then push connect. Once you connect you have now just given me access to your online banking and I am withdrawing money as you read this! I'm probably just kidding! I just wanted to make sure I haven't lost you yet. But you do want to enter your password and push enter.
After you push connect you should get a little 'progress' screen. After that is done loading you will see a screen that looks like, Now on a piece of paper or something else, write down your hostname and your IP address. After you have done that unplug the USB from your computer and click finish. Now what happens next, I could not explain. But you remember earlier the wizard said that setup would continue after configuration? Yeah well it didn't for me. And here is what it looked like.
Notice no printers available to select, and even in the terminal it shows an error. Either way, we have the information that we need to finish things up outside of this 'hpsetup' wizard. So just click cancel, close the terminal, and go back to the desktop. Now on your desktop go to System>Administration>Printing That will open a window that shows your current printer profiles. Click the add button to get a screen that looks like this,
Click the plus sign + next to "Network Printer" then click on "Find Network Printer". Now on the right half of that window there is a text box labeled "host:", enter the IP address that you copied down earlier and click the button that says "Find". Once clicking "Find" , one of two things will happen; (1)It will recognize it right away, locate the driver and take you to this screen, after clicking "forward".
or (2) It will take you to a screen showing the host name and the port number. If that happens, no big deal, just click "forward" to get the above screen. Or (3) It will not recognize the IP address that you entered. If this is the case, type in the host name you copied down earlier and click find, then click "forward" to get to the above screen. Or (4) It will not be able to locate a suitable driver. If this last scenario plays out for you then I am sorry but I don't know what to do. So lets just hope that doesn't happen. Alright now that you are on the above screen. Type in a name that you would like your computer to call your printer.
Then click "Apply". Once you click "Apply" that window will close and it will take you back to your printer list. You should notice a new printer in your lineup. Also, it is asking you if you would like to print a test page. Before you pick one, double check that your USB cable is no longer plugged in to your computer from the printer. Now, clicked "No" or "Yes". I chose "No" because test printing takes up a lot of ink. Instead of the test page I just went to my gmail and printed an e-mail. And guess what?! It worked!

I access the Internet exclusively through my Verizon-branded HTC Incredible cell phone using my Dell Latitude D800 notebook. I have a Samsung 2152-w wireless laser printer that works well through USB and works well through a wireless router.
My question is: since I use my cell as a wireless hot-spot for my notebook, is there any way to use the wireless capability of my printer? I don't know of any way to configure this, and Google hasn't been of help yet. If possible, I would like to avoid using the wireless router; I used it when I had a wired network for my old desktop.

I have a 64 bit laptop and i am using the 64 bit version of ubuntu 10.10. i am wanting to setup a lexmark x4650 printer which has wifi built in and can do wireless printing. i have the driver from lexmark installed but it is the i386 version which i know is the 32 bit version. and i know that 32 and 64 bit versions don't work so well together. i've gone through all kinds of help on these forums and for some reason when go to print a test page, it comes back with an error statement. i will have to try it again so i can post it verbatim.
i have a similar thread in the 64 bit thread so if it can be locked or deleted and have just this one, that would be cool. this same printer is not connected to any computer for it's wireless printing ability. it is a stand alone but all of my families laptops can use it since they have the software on theirs. they are using windows 7 which is what i have also, but i am switching to linux since i am not a fan of microsoft at all. i despise everything they do. i love linux and the community around it and i just want to get this printer setup so i can make the last and final switch. this is the only thing holding me up.

I have a virtual Linux box with a static IP in the cloud.
I have remote sites that have networked PCs that normally act as terminals but also have more than one printer on the Windows Network.
I would like software on the Window's machine to access the known IP address of the server and advertise the printers on the network so they can be printed to with lpr or cups. I don't have a problem manually setting up the printers on Centos if that is necessary. (But I need to know how to do that as well).
I need to know if I can setup a VPN on Windows without it stopping regular internet traffic and how to do it.
I need to know all the steps (what to install, what to issue commands for) to make this happen without using a GUI if possible and if the GUI is easier I need to know which GUI to install.
I also do not have a problem with using a VPN router at the client side if that makes it any easier. Like a Cisco RV120W.

I have a wired lan at home with 2 XP boxes connecting to a router to a DSL modem. I want to network my laptop, running only fedora os, for file sharing, printing and internet access. I will be using the laptop probably exclusively for creating/maintaining a Drupal-based (LAMP) e-commerce site to replace our old one for our small family business.

I just switched to openSUSE. I was using Debian based linux before.
I'm having getting my scanner to work, It is an epson cx4800.
I know that it works with sane because I was using it before, on my other systems it was just a matter of changing epson.conf :
Code:
I am using xsane, and it does not recognize the scanner still, though in the past doing this worked on other distributions of Linux....is there something else I can do? I tried running xsane as root and it still didn't recognize it.

I have a debian server (squeezzy) amd 64, running with an epson BX-300f pluged to USB. And I want to share the scanner over my network. So let's do that, Intalled sane, sane utils, iscan, which I've downloaded from epson drivers and wich include epkowa drivers fro scanner to work..
after that I installed on my system (Ubuntu 9.10) xsane... on console I type:
root@bruno-laptop:/home/bruno# scanimage -L
*** glibc detected *** scanimage: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00be63d0 ***
WARNING: Unhandled message: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable, path=/, member=Introspect

device 'net:192.168.0.254:gt68xx:libusb:001:035' is a unknown manufacturer unknown device -- use override to select flatbed scanner
device 'net:192.168.0.254:epkowa:usb:001:035' is a Epson Stylus BX300F/TX300F/NX300/ME Office 600F flatbed scanner
device 'net:192.168.0.254:epkowa:usb:001:035' is a Epson Stylus BX300F/TX300F/NX300/ME Office 600F flatbed scanner
I don't know why I find so much things, if i only have one scanner. Then I opened xsane and found the scanner over network. I chose the epson with epkowa drivers I try to scan something but it dont output nothing and sometimes it gives me "end of file reached". I can put whatever config files here if you want to, just ask. One time it worked fine.. but only half of an image...

I recently reformatted and dual partitioned to both Windows 7 as well as ubuntu 10.10. Loading works fine and Windows 7 is 100% operational. I cannot seem to get my wireless network adapter to be read by Ubuntus 'Windows Wireless Drivers' gui. Here are the steps that I have done THUS far, to make sure that we are all on the right path. Before I go any further, my wireless network adapter is an old school WUSB11 Linksys Wireless Network Adapter (running version 2.6).
1) Downloaded and installed "ndiswrapper" from ubuntu's main website. I downloaded the common, utils and ndisgtk files and installed them accordingly.
2) I extracted these three files to the desktop of Ubuntu and accessed the terminal page.
3) From terminal I typed "cd Desktop" to change the directory to the desktop.
4) Next, I typed in "Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common_1.54-2ubuntu1_all.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.54-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
Sudo dpkg -i ndisgtk_0.8.5-1_i386.deb"
5) This installed Windows Wireless Drivers gui successfully and I can access it.
6) I have downloaded the driver files for the adapter from the cisco website and searched them for the required files needed.
7) After extracting the .INF file from the "Drivers" directory named "NETUSB.SYS" (I wasn't sure if the other associated files within the same folder needed to be present together with NETUSB so I moved everything to the desktop) I typed in "sudo ndiswrapper -i NETUSB.inf". After accessing the Windows Wireless Drivers gui I have noticed that the 'netusb' driver is present yet under it, the system states "Hardware present: No". This leads me to believe that maybe I installed incorrectly or my "fireware?" is not present? I was reading through the installation guide posted on the ubuntu website that in addition to the .INF file we also need the BIN file(s)? and SYS file(s)?.. The folder with the drivers for my adapter contains a BIN file but it is not within the "Drivers" section of the folder.
9) Upon mousing over the network Icon naturally my hardware is still not present.
10) From what I gather after the system finds the hardware I am to write into the terminal

I am having a little trouble connecting to my wireless network. Running Fedora 10 32 bit.I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless network. I updated the firmware for my driver but apparantly the driver is still not working. Broadcom has a driver from their website for Linux 32 bit systems. Should I attempt to install it? I read a post where the driver is built into the system kernel. If so I would need to blacklist the one of the drivers. Correct?
[justin@justin ~]$ iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

I am a Windows refugee who discovered Ubuntu as a way to save my files from my virus-ravaged computer. Had no installation discs for Windows, so when I had to wipe my hard drive and start over, I decided to give Ubuntu a try. I've had mixed success, but that's another post...
Right now, the problem is that I installed 10.10 two weeks ago and was able to connect to the Internet with no problems - until yesterday. Suddenly, our wireless network (the only one in the vicinity) does not come up as available in Network Manager. In fact, the entire wireless option disappeared. I know there are many posts and threads on here about this, but weeding through them trying to find an answer is more frustrating than actually dealing with the problem. I know the router works because I can post on this forum from the Macbook. I really like Ubuntu and would like to keep using it, but not being able to connect to the Internet now on top of the other issues I've had is making me doubt I want to continue down this Linux road.
P.S. When I attempted an analysis through System Testing, it said something about there being no proprietary drivers?

my wireless home network is not recognized by my network card (RealTek RTL8190 mini PCI). The post was as follows: "I am using a new computer with Windows 7 , Athlon quad core 2.60 64 bit, 8GB RAM. Internet conection works fine with ethernet but ubuntu does not see my wireless network. card (RealTek RTL 8190 ID: 10ec:8190). Have searched this forum but unable to come up with a fix. I was looking for windows XP drivers to use Ndiswrapper but could not find a list of .inf files. My network is OK and works perfectly in windows and with my 2 laptops. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Additional info: install was done within Windows using WUBI to a separate partition on my HDD. I am new to this and thouroughly confused as to the procedure for installing the drivers if they are in fact available."
I am very frustrated in that I would like to use Ubuntu 10.04 but it is useless without internet connectability. I am new to linux and do not understand where to get the appropriate drivers or how to install them. I wish someone would answer this post and either give me a clue what to do or just say "give up" and uninstall ubunutu.
