Hi :) I am just hoping some kind person will signpost me to the proper forums so that they can help me with a couple of printing issues. I gather that CUPS is no longer used but i'm not sure and i don't know what has replaced it.
I do not know what is the replacement to CUPS, since every drive I use for Ubuntu and Mint needs CUPS. SO, I install in "manually" via the standard package manager for the distro. My default "printer" is the CUPS PDF "system". That way I have not accidental printing to any specialized printer that I have on my network, which saves paper and ink.
At last my work-place has a couple of machines entirely using just Kubuntu/Ubuntu and no Windows at all. With Kubuntu LibreOffice couldn't open files on the file-server but i fudged it by installing the whole Ubuntu DE (Unity DE and tweaks) and now people have no problems using Kubuntu. Printing to the photocopier or the B&W laser printer is fine. The only problem is trying to print to the colour printer, an Oki C810, for which there seem to be hundreds of linux drivers but none of them seem to work. Actually i have only tried about a dozen drivers but it's tricky to test them especially if my boss is around.
Which version are you using for Ubuntu-based OS? I have some Canon printers no longer work properly when Ubuntu 14.04 came out. Needed dependencies not longer we supported by 14.04, but was supported by 13.10.
Also although the Kubuntu machines have no trouble printing to the B&W photocopier but Ubuntu ones can't cope. I have no idea how to find the drivers on the Kubuntu machines and copy them onto the Ubuntu ones. Regards from Tom :)
