Dear Luis and All, I have decided to install the new gimp-print driver that just came out. Should I , also, install the new cups driver first? How would I do this since I already have older versions installed? Also, I tried to check my cups version and it said that cups was a bad command. How do I check my cups version?
Luis, did you uninstall all files related to printing first? Could you describe to me exactly what you did to uninstall and the files that you had to uninstall? Would you tell me what files, drivers, etc. you installed and exactly how? I will appreciate being led like a blind newbie because about printing I am a newbie. Things worked before without this much trouble until 8.0 and now 8.1 is not better yet for me. Thanks very much for your help.
