Re: [Dorset] Ubuntu manual and cups error

2010-01-09 Thread John Cooper

 See You in February. There is no Printed manual for Ubuntu. Ask Your
 questions here, if you can't find them in the Forums or the Ubuntu Wiki
 Documentation.

The Official Ubuntu Book (Prentice Hall) is ok for newbies.

 
 eg. In Kubuntu 9.10, I used to have a printer, Laserjet 5M, but it now
 doesn't work, I have removed it and re-installed it, and checked all the
 connections, 
 
 and get There was an error during the CUPS operation:
 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'. when I try to do a self
 test. 
 
 Any body else had similar problems? I suspect one of the upgrades.

Try :-
Uncomment application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.types
and uncomment application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.convs.

I notice F12 Cups config is different and no longer has these two files
in /etc/cups. Try `locate mime.types`. My cups and samba setup :-

These files are in /usr/share/cups/mime/..

and it is not commented in either file. 

there is also a mime.types in /etc, but it has different format and
application octet-stream is not commented in that.
