Bad defaults: User privileges [urgent!]

2008-03-23 Thread Nanley Chery
* I am testing 8.04 Beta* By default, users do not have the privilege to "Use scanners." Due to the rise of multifunction printers, this is a problem that should be fixed before the final release of 8.04. Bug: I installed HPLIP-Toolbox and noticed errors and grayed out tabs - the app was useless.

The desktop menus are becoming increasingly overcrowded (see: Internet, Applications, Preferences). Too much entropy on the desktop could only lead to one thing: an increase in the complexity of Ubuntu, which in turn, would lead to a decrease in its popularity - it just won't be as easy anymore.

Too many printing apps

2007-12-05 Thread Nanley Chery
As of now, we have three printing applications: one for Managing Print Jobs, another for setting the Default Printer, and another for managing Printing settings. Respectively, these entries exist under Accessories, Preferences, and Administration; this is excessive. I think we should just h
