Ubuntu :: Printer Drivers Installed - Script Editor Pops Up On Reboot
Nov 15, 2010
I've recently installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook. Everything works pretty well and I'm enjoying it so far. One problem - I have a Lexmark S405 inkjet printer - for which I installed drivers the other day. The install goes fine and the printer does work - but upon next boot, there is an error loading Kate - and then some sort of script editor pops up. Uninstalling the driver package seems to fix the error message but it's back upon re-install. Didn't have this with my Ubuntu VM on my desktop. The printer does still work.
Every time I reboot or shutdown my PC, the login window shortly pops up. The PC does shutdown or reboot normally afterwards. When I use the terminal to shutdown/reboot (sudo shutdown -h now or sudo reboot) all goes well. The PC is running Debian Squeeze with the GNOME desktop environment.
It seems the latest nvidia drivers (255.44) don't seem to work on my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 in Lucid. Has anybody gotten it to work? I've tried to just use the System -> Drivers control panel to install and activate the current nvidia drivers as well as installing it from the command line. However, when I reboot, I see the nvidia splash screen come up for a second, then the screen goes blank, and then the nvidia splash screen pops up again, and then the screen goes blank again, over and over. It seems to be in some kind of infinite initialization loop. My T61 has the nvidia NVS 140m chipset. This is frustrating since the previous drivers seemed to work ok. When I try to revert to older drivers, it complains now that they're no longer compatible with the latest kernel headers, etc. I've had to boot up into the failsafe graphics mode to be able to use the laptop.
Ubuntu 10.04 and have a problem with loading the Linux printer drivers for my new Lexmark printer. When I try to load up the printer driver downloaded from the Lexmark site I am asked to enter a root administrator password, but when I enter the password I used to setup the OS it will not accept it. I have reviewed the "sudo" terminal password info, but as I am a newbie I was concerned about wrecking the installation.
I am trying to set uamsung clx2160N as a standalone network printer on my home network. It is a printer with standalone network capability and is connected directly to my router and has a static IP number. We have a few Windows computers at home and they had no problem detecting the printer, installing the drivers and working. Unfortunately my Ubuntu computer recognises the printer and I can even access it's setup and diagnositcs through its IP number. However when I try to add it as a printer, drivers for it cannot be located. #ve tried setting it up three ways:1. Using Samsung's own setup package - finds printer and all the details it needs to work but offers no drivers2. Using Ubuntu's printer setup - recognises printer but stalls at Searching for Drivers dialog3. Trying to *** printer using CUPS - no problem finding and recognising printer, but when I come to search for the driver I get Internal Server Error.
I have of course been trying to do all of these as root. That's the limit of my knowledge reached and searches on the net aren't helping me either. The printer works fine directly connected via USB, so the drivers are on the computer somewhere. How do I get them set up to use the printer on the network?
I have an HP C4795 printer and lately when I print something nothing happens until I reboot and then the printer will print. How can I fix this problem? This was printing from Okular pdf reader.
I'm reasonably new to Linux and very new to Ubuntu . I've just installed 9.10 as a dual boot on a Windows XP Pro Dell Inspiron 9200. I have a Samsung CLP-315 that I need to configure first as a local printer then as a wireless network printer. I found the software (.bin file) on the Samsung site and downloaded it but that's as far as I got. Can I use any of the GUI package managers or do I need to use Terminal and command line syntax? Here's the real question "what is the syntax for installing software/drivers?"
This site has drivers for my new Brother HL-3040CN laser printer ... but it says its the wrong architecture when I try to open the first one with GDebi Package Installer. I'm kind of stuck now ...should I try just plugging the printer into the computer with the network cable and seeing if Ubuntu will automatically take care of drivers? For reference I saw this topic when I googled the issue [URL] This site says 64 bit drivers are available for Ubuntu 9.10, only 32 bit drivers are available for Ubuntu 10.04. I am running 10.04 (64bit) ... should I return the printer?
Is there some program out for linux that is similar to ndiswrapper, in the sense that it can use Windows drivers for printers? As of right now, printing has been one of those issues I've had in linux for years, but I was lucky enough to have a supported printer. On other machines, including family members, they are not so lucky enough to have a supported printer.
I use Ubuntu Server 10.04 and would like to share my printer from it. I have a Canon Pixia MP270 and I can download the source drivers from URL...There is also a deb file driver download tested on ubuntu 9.04 but I fails to install.Im not worried about the scanner option on the printer I just want to be able to share the printer to my Windows 7 PC.
How do I install the source drivers?I presume once its installed I can share the printer through webmin and install it on my Windows 7 machine?
I'm a very inexperienced Linux user, just getting started, so bear with me. I was able install the printer drivers for a Brother network laser printer (HL-5370DW) and would like to install the drivers on a few other computers on my small home network. Is there a way to automate this process by pushing them out to the other computers, or should I just manually install them? It wasn't difficult, just wondering if there is a slick way to do this.
I bought an Epson workforce 520 printer and I need to install the drivers to make it work on Maverick Meerkat. where to get the drivers and how to install them.
I have Fedora 12 distro. I tried to use commandls | lpr for fun but the error message has arised I dont have the printer, the driver for it, if to say more precisely. But when I inserted the disk with software, the CD-ROM disappeared from my computer. What should I do to install it? I have no experience installing something yet.
who installed nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 10.04 and gets a terminal screen on reboot with no GUI.I came across this fix trying to install the drivers on Ubuntu 10.10. later i find that the same thing happens to me on 10.04 but one of the fixes i came across works perfect with it. Ok, so you just installed ubuntu 10.04 updated it through update manager and installed your nvidia drivers but when you rebooted and tried to log on you find yourself in a terminal interface well i found an easy fix for that.
i hope it works for you not saying it will though im new to the linux world only just coming out of windows and i dont know much anyways just log on the terminal and use command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then run nvidia-xconfig command reboot and you should be fine only wish this would work for ubuntu 10.10
I have recently installed Fedora 14 onto my primary desktop which is equipped with an ATI Radeon HD 3870 graphics adapter and two monitors. Following the instructions here I have installed the ATI proprietary drivers via the akmod method recommended by the author. If I run the Catalyst Control Center via either su- or sudo to configure the desktops and log out/in to restart X everything works flawlessly. However, whenever I restart the computer the displays return to the default setting of a simple clone. Possibly related is that the system defaults to Fedora's "simple" text based start up/shut down screen rather than the pretty graphical one. I am confused as to why/how this could be happening and cannot find anything similar via Google, though I readily admit I may be using the wrong search terms. All potentially relevant information I can think of:
All are at version 11.2 and release 1.fc14. I also caught that the guide was would have me specify the 32 bit version of xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs rather than the 64 bit version I needed. I dropped the specification entirely and let yum sort out the architecture.
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my AMD 64 bit desktop. I have a usb connection for my Brother MFC 8860DN printer. I used the synaptic package manager to install the printer drivers ubuntu already had in their repository for my printer model. When I connect my printer to the computer Ubuntu recognizes the model, but cannot detect the printer drivers I have already installed. The printer drivers were installed to /usr where a Brother folder was created. the Cupswrapper and lpd files are in the Brother folder. How can I get the system to detect its own files so I can get the printer to work?
I posted a request on Kodak's FaceBook(FB) page asking about their support for Linux drivers URL... Search for Mark Schuster to see my request and click the LIKE button to voice your request for Linux support. Let's let them know we want Linux drivers for their printers.
Trying to set up my Canon MX700 all-in-one as a printer on my network. N predefined drivers available on 9.10 rel. Tried Pixma mp830 but printer just prints a blank page. Canon of course shows no drivers for Linux.

how to load drivers for my printer? I think I can find them online but have no idea how to navigate to get them loaded so I can finally use my printer!
I believe printers and printing are 2 most retarded things on this planet, completely useless and unnecessary.I haven't had one and never needed one, until now, as in my little retarded country bureaucratic and accounting reasons forced me to buy one, as I have my own company (and I really really hated to do it, but...) Whatever, I got Samsung SCX-4623F (and I will hate myself till end of my life to buy such retarded device), and now I can't seem to figure out how to get it started in Fedora 14. I dont need scanner, just printer. Naturally, there are no native drivers for linux, and I have cups installed and Printing tool in System->Administration doesnt do anything.
I heard that the new release would work smoothly and decided to install fc15 on 5 computers at once (four 64-bit AMDs running RAID and an old 32-bit Compaq laptop). I now have only 1 of 4 printers working. One was an old and slow but reliable HP6P and the others Samsungs of various ages. I tried the workaround suggested in another thread for the HP6P (using MAKEDEV to recognize the parallel port), but I'm still unable to install the printer--the installation hangs searching for a printer. And Fedora 15 has apparently broken the proprietary Samsung driver.
The only working printer at the moment is a Samsung 2250 (the oldest) which has an open source driver, and that one won't currently print from the internet (it used to under fc14). It's pretty sad when a new release breaks computers whose major function is effectively (or rather ineffectively) a typewriter. I've tried both local and network installations using Gnome, system-config-printer, and the Samsung Configurator, but nothing seems to work. I hope a fix is forthcoming from Red Hat, Samsung, or the readers soon. I need my typewriter.
I want to install hp photosmart 1000 printer on my centos 5.4 but i dunno where to start. where I can get the printer drivers and how to install it and possibly share the printer?
I'm using Epson TX110 printer at the moment, it contains both scanner and printer.
I've installed Epson TX109 driver on Ubuntu, and it prints fine.
The problem is, how do I get the scanner to work? In the previous Windows, there's a program that allows you to scan and edit files, can I do it here too?
