I have quite serious printer problems, which I hoped that 10.4 would cure. No such luck!
Has anyone got an HP B109a Photosmart printer/scanner which they have managed to get fully working in Ubuntu? If so, please would you give me some help? Very briefly, I bought it some weeks ago, but have had very mixed fortunes with it in Linux. I have tried to get it working in several distros. Ubuntu 9.10: I can manually set it up and get it to print, but not to scan and, when I click on the HP Toolbox, it tells me that there is no printer found. Trying to set it up from the HP Toolbox, is a failure. Ubuntu 10.4rc: The same. Linux Mint8: The same. PCLinuxOS 2010 final: The same. However, PCLinuxOS 2010rc: Everything works perfectly 'out of the box'! No setting up needed. I have spent many hours trying everything I can find on the forums of these three distros, (and everything I can think of), but nothing sorts the problem. No scanning or Toolbox. At the moment, I am having to use Windows7, merely to be able to print. :( Many thanks in anticipation!
