Hi :) Ahh, mostly the Ubuntu's at work are 14.04. So i might have a try at a LiveUsb or multi-boot with an earlier version alongside the existing set-ups or something.
Thanks Tim ! :) Errr, i think the drivers and apps and such are still called CUPS but i think the forums and websites retired didn't they? Is there somewhere such as LinuxPrinting.Org? I might have to have more of a look tomorrow or sometime. Thanks so far and regards from Tom :) On 21 January 2015 at 13:37, Tim---Kracked_P_P---webmaster <webmas...@krackedpress.com> wrote: > On 01/21/2015 08:02 AM, Tom Davies wrote: >> >> 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.
