[ubuntu-uk] Canon Pixma Printer - MP480

2010-10-20 Thread Tony Doherty 


  
  
Just in case anyone missed this.
  
  There had been an issue with no specific Linux driver being
  available for this popular model of multi-function printer.
  
  A workaround was posted in Ubuntu Forums on August 2010 (which I
  missed) using drivers for the MP490.
  
  I now have my MP480 printing from my Ubuntu notebook (via an XP
  server).

[ubuntu-uk] LTS or Latest Version??

2010-10-19 Thread Tony Doherty 
I am always keen to update to the latest releases of Ubuntu.

However, can I ask - if I were to stick with a LTS version such as 10.4 long 
term - would this version eventually receive updates to upgrade to the latest 
versions of, say, FireFox and OpenOffice when they become available?

Or, are the LTS version releases synchronised to match new releases of the 
above software?

In short - for a relative newbie like me (1 year's experience!!) - what is the 
policy behind Ubuntu releases?


Many Thanks
