Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hello is it possible for me to buy a ubuntu dvd
Hello Steven Many Thanks for your e-mail i have one laptop with windows of which i use for multimedia and a laptop i use ubuntu linux For general internet search as ubuntu has better security package than windows. I have just bought a netbook as my other ubuntu laptop broke down it currently has ubuntu mate installed on it but it is an older version. As regards to the printer driver i have downloaded previously from the brother website the LPR and CUPSwrapper driver. I install each debian file via GDebi Package installer and it installs successfully but after that when it try to print from a webpage nothing printer is on and the usb cable is fully inserted into the usb port. I tried to print from mozilla firefox Any help would be highly appreciated!

[ubuntu-uk] Hello is it possible for me to buy a ubuntu dvd
As unfortunately i have to use pay as you go for my internet and the ubuntu .iso download is a huge download taken on my data allowance. Also is there a version of ubuntu that includes software such as drivers and media players such as vlc media player so it can install the operating system and the other software such as drivers and media players with having to use the internet. I am also having s struggle getting these drivers to work: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=gb=en=dcp195c_all=128 If you could please help me i would be highly grateful!
