re: Driver for printer Canon PIXMA MP520
Hi Fellow Ubuntuans, After checking for the existance of a driver for above printer (linux driver), I finally got my printer installed. It works well in WinXp. But in Dapper no go. When I give the printer something print in dapper, it will spool a sheet paper through, but without printing anything. The driver I got from Canon does not work: cnijfilter-mp520series-2.80-1.i386.deb Gdebi says there either a fault in the driver or I need some permission. (where do you get it ?) Can anyone enlighten me with this problem. please ? Greetings tony -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

I have a close friend thinking about getting one. She is concerned that the screen resolution will be too low (like 640x800). She likes to view heaps of items simultaneously on her desktop... what is the resolution like on the eeePC? I haven't seen one yet... may get into Good Guys today.. I guess I'm wondering what it is like to work on a PC with a small screen? Especially for things like typing up assignments.. thanks, Andrew Hi Andrew The eeePC has a very small screen, it is fine for doing things on the run or for short periods in the library or whatever, but can be too small if you need lots of screen real estate. One of the handy features is the monitor out socket .. this last week I have been away from home and had my eeePC hooked up to a CRT monitor at the house I am staying in. It is comfortably running at 1024x768 on the big(ger) screen. Cheers Mark -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

RE: EeePC
IMO, the Asus EeePC is simply too small for the price. Considering for less than $200 extra, you can get a full featured Windows notebook with much better hardware and more importantly, more screen real estate. Obviously, it serves its purpose well being such a small device and all. But I simply don't think it's worth its $500 for the hardware that's inside. -- Chris Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: eeePC
I read an article in the paper on wed that quoted the eeepc's price as $400. is this correct? I think the RRP is $499. I guess its up to the retailer you purchase from as the what price they sell it for. I checked them out at Officeworks last week and they were $499 at that time.

It's small, but that's the nature of this device - a portable computer that's even more portable than a laptop. Not long ago I heard a rumour (can't remember where) that there was going to be a model with a 10 screen, but that the idea was scrapped due to the extra power requirements which would reduce the battery life to an unacceptably low level. A 10 inch version has been announced by Asus. I would assume that being larger, it can hold a bigger battery. The larger 10 version may not be that much larger in dimensions than the 7 version if they move the speakers and make better use of the potentially available screen space. Interestingly ASUS already have a 11 notebook in their product range although way more pricey. 4GB of flash disk space is just too small. I'll wait for the 10 version that should have at least double the disk space, even if it costs a couple hundred dollars more it'll be worth it. Are there any specs released on the new 10 version? -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au -- When one burns ones bridges, what a very nice fire it makes. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Re: emails open as attachments?
Okay, so now I have downloaded Thunderbird as recommended. I am trying to emulate some preferences I had in Outlook Express. ie, I want to have my outgoing mails in the font you see here - Comic Sans MS but I want to receive incoming mails in the format they were sent. I go into toolsoptions etc but the font changes I make effect the display of incoming as well. I've been round and round the mulberry bush but can't seem to configure my preferences suitably. I have returned to OE to send this - to illustrate what I want. Seems simple but . . . . . .

I would strongly suggest that you use a better mail client. Outlook Express has many flaws, and it isn't even being developed by Microsoft any more. Mozilla Thunderbird is a good pick, as it's open source (built on the same foundations as Firefox), follows standards better and is far more secure. It has a migration wizard to easily move over from Outlook Express, and it's very cross-platform (works on Linux as well).

I have returned to OE to send this - to illustrate what I want. There are two tabs in Preferences for fonts. Display (for how you want incoming fonts to appear) and Composition (fonts to use in outgoing messages). Make sure you're using setting the Composition fonts only. By the way, the Comic Sans font is only installed by default on Windows, so in general only Windows users will see your choice of font. cheers, Dan M -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
