Currently my partner is printing on my Epson Stylus Photo R265 from her XP system. I am attempting to convert her over to Lucid but every attempt so far to replicate the printer settings fails miserably.I had a look at Picasa which on first view appeared to give me exactly what I wanted being an A4 print without any border. However when I attempted to produce the final result it failed miserably, quality was wishy washy and displayed print lines across the paper.I raised the matter on the Picasa forum only to be informed that the method used by them is to forward the print to the printer. The responder assumed that it was via Cups and suggested that I look to the print settings in Ubuntu.
When I access the printer via the System settings all it gives me is connectivity details. Where should I be looking to access the settings where I can set the printing details. I am aiming to have the best photo quality on premium glossy paper and printing without borders.Is this possible to achieve ?? I have been round the houses with F-Spot, Photoprint, Shotwell etc etc. Please dont mention Gimp as it is well over my head. Surely there must be some way of setting print quality within Ubuntu. I feel that I am so near to my aim and would like to achieve it as even she who must be obeyed is getting cheesed off with windows.
I am using a Canon MP560 and every time I try to print something I have to go back into the printer settings and change the settings from "From Driver" to grayscale and it is really annoying. How to I set it so it stays like that?
how can I make KDE applications to use duplex printing as default? In CUPS, I changed the default settings to "long edge binding". It works in non-KDE Applications like Openoffice, but in e.g. Okular I always have to set it every time I print. I'm using Suse 11.3 with KDE4.
what I need to do to the firewall in order to make a shared printer available to other machines on my network?
I have the printer set up and have tested it with the firewall switched off, but as soon as I restart the firewall, the printer is inaccessible.
I thought that all traffic on the internal network was allowed, but it seems that I need to create an explicit rule in order to get the shared printer working. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet.
When I try to change some settings of my printer using HPLIP it tells me to add myself to the lp an sys group. Is that safe ? What are those groups used for ?
I have two 11.3 systems, one with my printers set up. Is there a basic method to export or transfer my printers' settings and drivers to the other system? Running Gnome on both.
Using openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3, where should I look for the default printer settings?
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser which for some reason prints right down to the bottom of the page cutting off the top part of the last line on that page. The default settings for the top and bottom margins are 0.50 inches. During installation using Yast2, the test page printed with correct borders.
When I change the bottom margin in options (from Ctrl-P), the page prints with the bottom margin set to 0.50 inch. The problem is I have to reset that margin every time I print a new document.
Where can I change that default setting? I've searched in /etc, /var, and /home but can't find it.
I am trying to replicate my GnuCash files between two computers. My GnuCash folder has three types of files:
* One Gzip archive file * Many xac files (GnuCash Financial Data) * Many log files
The xac and log files replicate with no problem. However the Gzip file does not. Without this Gzip file, GnuCash cannot makes sense of the other files.Why would this Gzip file not sync? Have others used Ubuntu One to sync their GnuCash files?
I have recently installed Fedora 13 on my netbook. I wish to use my HP Officejet via the HPLIP utility. The problem with this is that when I have the firewall turned on, the printer is not recognised at all during setup. When the firewall is switched off, the printer is recognised. The printer in question is an HP Officejet 8500a which is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless router. I would like to know if there are any network ports (that's used by HPLIP) that I could 'turn on' in the firewall that could let my computer recognise the printer.
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.

I have a file containing text. I want to replicate a specific field.For example, I might want to append a copy of the second word of each line to the end of that line.Have: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, Want: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, upon Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, many Is there a Linux command which will do this? I seek a basic command, not awk, not Perl, because I haven't learned those things yet.
I have 2 servers, 1 running a web server on 1 IP address,the other server running a proxy on a different IP address. I intend to change and update the ncsa file with usernames and passwords from a mysql table.Is there a way to replicate 1 table from the webserver to the proxy server databases and then run a cronjob? The cron will simply delete unused usernames and add new ones.Is there a better way of doing this? I don't want to run the webserver on the proxy server for security and also for performance.
I want to replicate this small howto (http://legos.sourceforge.net/HOWTO) using wget.However I just get a single file and not the other pages and that file too is not html.
I have access to a "virtual" Windows server terminal, which I can access through my Ubuntu Linux via tsclient or rdesktop. Additionally, there are printer shares on this network, which can be accessed from any Windows PC on the network (including the "virtual" terminals); lets say the address is [URL]. Now, I open \printshares.company.com in the "virtual" terminal in rdesktop (avoiding tsclient since it has a Bug #94743 in tsclient (Ubuntu): Terminal Server Client isn't able to copy to/from clipboard) - and I can see all printers fine.. However, when I'm on my Linux machine directly on the work network, I try and do something like:
$ ping printshares.company.com PING printshares.company.com (192.168.0.200) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C64 bytes from 192.168.0.200: icmp_req=1 ttl=124 time=10.4 ms
[code].....
Is it possible to retrieve the - let's call them "connection settings" - from the Windows terminal session, so I could replicate them under Linux when running smbclient? the IT department running these Windows servers is quite irritated by people using Linux; and will offer no support to those kinds of "customers". Furthermore, if obtaining those settings requires some installation on the client session, since I don't have permissions to install anything on the Windows terminal session.
I'm pretty sure the hard disk on my FC5 system (tells you how old it is!) is failing. It's a 500GB drive and I have a second hard disk that's 1.5TB (if I remember right) as a secondary.I would like to (ideally) just migrate everything -- settings, MBR, OS, home dirs, etc., everything -- to a different drive, take out the one that's on the fritz, and reboot the system with everything as it was...just a new hard drive.
Alternatively, I figure I could remove the old drive, move the secondary one into place as the primary, reformat it (assuming there's no data I need), and then install a fresh FC version and from there, migrate data from the old one as needed. I've done this latter method before and assuming the hard drive doesn't totally go, it should work. But I'd really RATHER have somehow a "mirror copy" of the 500GB drive that just seamlessly replaces what's currently there.
I would like to know if there is a way to replicate the contents of the GNOME Applications menu in FVWM (Without running GNOME), because it was very convenient to have it and I don't know the command-line names of some of the programs I need.Especially now I would really like to have it soon because I got VirtualBox and I don't know of any other way to start it other than that menu.
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 have a computer with 3 users on it, and a folder using samba that everyone on the network has access to. Lets say that, the folder is stored in /etc/sharedfolder. What happens is, when user1 puts a folder in it, then logs off, user 2 attempts to modify it and fails, because permission is set to 755, and they are not in the same group. (even if they were, it should still need to be 775) Anyway, my current solution is, every 5 minutes a crontab changes permission like so: chmod 777 -R /etc/sharedfiles && chown useradmin:superadmin -R /etc/sharedfiles Which works, but seeing as there is getting close to a gig in there, this is a bad solution, as it eats up the computers resources. Solutions that i think might work:
1) create a script that only changes permissions that need be changed. 2) change file permission settings to force all documents to inherit parent document settings
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 want to add my printer to ubuntu 10.04. When I run the system-config-printer (System->Administration->Printing) I can't choose the "Add" in the menu bar (ctrl+n does not work either).
I have managed to install ubuntu server and set it quite nicely to share my files and printers over my network. I have two printers, a Lexmark e232 and a hp C3180 multifunctional printer (i.e. printer+scaner+a copy function). I have no problem installing the Lexmark printer on my windows 7 computers on the network, however, the All in One printer only gets recognized as a printer but there is no way to get it to scan. I have been reading on the web about all in one printers but I don't quite understand what the issues are.
Is there a way for me to get the full functionality of this printer over the network? I think this wouldn't be a problem if there was some sort of software designed by hp that would allow me to add printers that are not directly connected to the computer (via usb) but are shared from another pc on the network.
I'm setting up a netbook for somebody (in another country!) and one of the last hurdles is the printer setup. I only have the netbook and not the printer with me. I know that the printer is a HP PSC 1215 All-In-One Printer but there seems to be a Catch-22 that I need to have the printer connected in order to be able to set this up using the GUI tools. How do I work around this? As a minimum I just want to enable printing, although scanning would be a bonus.
I have a parallel port printer connected using usb->parallel adapter. Sometimes the printer prints sometimes it doesn't.
A job will go the print queue and then sit there for ages. Sometimes if I unplug and then replug the usb->parallel cable the printer will print other times it will print half the document then freeze until the cable was unplugged and replugged again.
The printer never shows up in the list using lsusb (only my usb mouse and scanner do).
The printer is an hp deskjet 690c and worked fine under WinXP through a normal parallel cable. The one thing I haven't tested (but will test tomorrow) is the usb->parallel cable in XP.
I am using Fedora 13 x86_64 on a Acer Aspire 7730ZG laptop with: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] (rev a1) I have kmod-nvidia-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64-195.36.31-1.fc13.2.x86_64 installed from rpmfuison when I plug in the hdmi cable to the tv, my tv says the resoultion is at 720p, and I can not get any of the resolutions settings to look right on seperate x screen with the nvidia X server settings gui. my tv is a vizo 42inch. also another question is their a way to set the video card to output at 1080? this might be part of my problem?
I have a triboot windows suse 11.3 stable and suse 11.3 factory pc, I would like to share the browsers and email settings between the suse stable and factory, I succeed with thunderbird and firefox moving the /home/.thunderbird and /home/.mozilla in an ext3 shared partition and linking these in the respecive /homes, I found that there isn't a /home/.chromium folder, I found probably /usr/lib64/chromium could be the same as /home/.mozilla for firefox, but I don't know if is secure or can damage my system to move this in a ext3 partition and then link this to the respective /usr/lib64/chromium, /usr/lib64/chromium has root owner, root group, visible and modifiable for root and only visible for group and other.
