Printer problem
Hello all. I have a printer problem in that when I try to print from any package, I get a message job stopped and the printer prints Unable to open the initial device, quitting. (Ubuntu 9.10) The printer diagnostic facility seems to freeze. Any ideas of where to look ? Thanks David Bowskill -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
