Ubuntu :: Printer Works With Few Applications Only?
Feb 11, 2011
I am on Ubuntu 10.10 on Thinkpad T61p
Recently installed my office printer with the drivers provided by them(office people)
The problem is that it works fine but only with few selected applications
Adobe Reader works fine Foxit reader fails Document viewer and image viewer prints the page but doesn't fit them inside the margins and they are either cut on the edges or look ugly
Printing from browsers doesn't work either. I always have to do 'print to file' in pdf format
Then pray rigorously that the pdf print is nice and then print using Adobe reader
where to start debugging from ?

I'm trying to configure PulseAudio using the official guide and can't get past the first step where it tells me to input pulseaudio -nC.
1. How can I get into the PA console/daemon to use the official guide
2.If I can't get PA setup correctly, is there an ALSA sound mixer I can use to modify sound levels for various running applications.
2B. Is there a sound mixer that works with OSS applications as well? Most apps these days are ALSA, but some older ones (like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory) use OSS.

I'm looking for a low cost mono laser printer that just works under Ubuntu. I know that a general 'rule of thumb' is go with HP, but that doesn't seem to be the case with their low-end mono printers, as they use the XQX Stream Protocol instead of Postscript. The more expensive HP printers appear to work because they use Postscript.

Have recently updated 10.04 with latest updates which included a new kernel and the printer no longer works. In-fact I can't even define the printer and I don't have a printer installed, the install script can't locate the printer on the USB. I have a cannon MP640.
I can print OK through windowsXP on virtualbox, printer is found OK.
Everything was fine until latest update.
Also my USB TV card doesn't work anymore, it also was OK before the update.

anybody out there with an idea for a command to make the WLAN-Printer (HP-Officejet)work again when it stops after 30 Min - 2 h.Simple stopping the print job and print again does not help. The only way for me is to stop the print job and RESTART. Then it works again 30 Min- 2 h. I use updatet lucid lynx 32.
And I need a command like "killall pulseaudio" that I need when I return from logged-on as the second user to get sound again.

Qemu works normally for me, but the available resolutions do not include a widescreen option. Is there a work around or a command line parameter I can add to enable widescreen resolutions?

I am studying how to use Linux now on some websites and playing with an older desktop. I am anxious to give it a try! I am looking for an Linux program to help me with the following situation:
I send emails from my office computer, my dormitory computer, my home computer, my android phone and my symbian phone. Right now I use webmail but i want to be able to compose the emails in an offline mode and then send them at a later time. Now, I use thunderbird on my home computer to download all of the emails from my webmail account.
I want to be able to compose the email on the email clients installed on the various computing devices yet be able to consolidate not only the emails received but also the sent folders. I think what I am looking for is a Linux version of MSExchange. Is this correct? Can someone recommend one? I also want to be able to consolidate calendaring features and addressbooks as well.

I use a dark theme in gnome, which of course doesn't display correctly on many websites that force a white background onto text input dialogues (I have to type white or light gray on white) - Because of this, I never use a dark theme for more than a few days before I switch back to light, which really sucks - My workaround for this was going to be changing my Firefox launcher so that a custom GTKRC is used.
It works for all applications except for Firefox.
e.g. if I type into a Terminal:
Code:
env GTK2_RC_FILES="/usr/share/themes/Redmond/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" speedcrunch
or
Code:
bash -c 'GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Redmond/gtk-2.0/gtkrc speedcrunch'

I have used it for some times but never went behind basic use to use Internet, save files, write documents with OpenOffice...
I just installed the 11.2 version in 64-bit. I previously used a 11.1 version, and on which sounds worked fine.
I do get the login and logout jingle, and CDs play fine as well.
My problem occurs when I try to watch a video on Internet, so with FlashPlayer, and also when using Skype: I get neither the notification sounds, and a test call tells me I have a problem with the audio device.
When I point my cursor on the "sound" icon on my control board, it tells me the sound is at 0% even though it works for the above-listed tasks.
Here is what my computer has (from "system configuration"), including the last two lines I get when I click the "advanced" option:
HDA VIA VT82xx (VT1708 Analog)
HDA VIA VT82xx (VT1708 Digital)
HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI (HDMI audio output)
PulseAudio
HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI
HDA VIA VT82xx, VT1708 Digital(IEC958(S/PDIF) Digital audio output)
Everything has this same preset configuration: notifications, video, etc.

I have an "HP Deskjet d1400 Series" using the "hpijs, 3.10.2 (color)" driver. When I attempt to print a test page from the CUPS web interface, it works. However, when I try to print from an application, such as Okular or Iceweasel, the only option is "Print to file". I have hpijs and hplip installed.

Tonight I bought an HP LaserJet 1020 on Craigslist. Installed it and printed a test page without any trouble. But when I try printing a multi-page document, it only prints the first page, and then I get a message saying it may be disconnected. It's not, but I waited a loooooong time and the successive pages didn't spit out.

I have Linux Xandros Debian software on my Asus Eee PC, and for 3 years now I have been trying to buy a Colour Scanner that works. It does not have to be a stand alone Scanner, it can also be an All-in-One. I have been told the HP has the most chance. However I bought a HP Deskjet F2280, that the salesman guaranteed would scan with Linux, but it did not. And never has. Is there anybody who also has Linux Xandros Debian and HAS found a scanner that works?

I can't get a program (wbar) to run directly from my user account, it fails saying "Image not found -> maybe using a relative path?". But if I run su -c "wbar", it shows up and manages to load the image. I think it has something to do with ImLib2 or whatever loads the image. I checked permissions on libImlib2.so.1 and it's world-readable and executable. Can libImlib2.a be causing this problem, set to 644? What else should I be checking?

I upgraded my openSUSE 11.2 KDE to version 11.3, and now my Canon Pixma ip1800 Printer no longer prints. It appears to me that the upgrade may have removed one or more files that the printer needs, but I don't know.

I've recently decided to switch the first of four machines on my LAN from windows to Linux (PB I Media 1gb ram, 160hdd Intel Core2 Duo 6300 1.86ghz. After a couple of weeks distro hopping I have decided that I like OpenSuse 11.4.
I have an Epson Styus SX515w connected to my router via wifi. I googled the subject and downloaded this driver from the Avasys website. epson-inkjet-printer-stylus-tx550w-series-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm. I checked the documentation and my model is supported. So I installed the rpm from a local directory via Yast.
Then I go into Yast > Hardware > Printers, (I have to disable the firewall first so Yast can find the printer on the LAN.) The New Printer Config Wizard shows it as Model: Epson sx510w Connection: ipd:/192.168.2.4.515/PASSTHRU Description: Epson Epson Stylus SX510w. (mine is a 515w). Anyho, Yast cannot find any matching drivers. If I click "Find More" Yast finds Epson drivers but no for my model. I've tried different search strings too.
So my question is. How do I tell Yast to use the driver I have installed?
I checked in Yast > Software and it lists the driver as installed I also ran this command in terminal user@linux-rk0o:~> rpm -qi epson-inkjet-printer-stylus-tx550w-series-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.i486
The resulting output confirms the package is installed.
Code:
Name : epson-inkjet-printer-stylus-tx550w-series Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 1.0.0 Vendor: Seiko Epson Corporation
Release : 1lsb3.2 Build Date: Mon 24 May 2010 10:22:43 BST
Install Date: Tue 17 May 2011 02:06:35 BST Build Host: build

I'm trying to figure out how to change the default settings for my printer under Firefox. I'm mainly interested in changing the default print resolution and the pages-per-side layout setting I can change the settings for all KDE applications through [URL], but I can't seem to be able to find the respective dialog for Firefox / GTK applications.
Firefox itself doesn't seem to have a dialog for the printer default settings; I've looked into about:config but all the value names are rather confusing.
My system environment:
openSUSE 11.3
KDE 4.4.4
Printer: Brother MFC-7420

I've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

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.
