| DoctorTruth | the book I bought on Ubuntu has also been helpful as a reference tool | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | i bet | 00:01 |
| DoctorTruth | and of course helpful people in the community are good too. | 00:01 |
| DoctorTruth | hey I am looking at the link for scribus - which is the better - 32 or 64 bit? | 00:04 |
| DoctorTruth | it looks like a decent program | 00:05 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: i think you can debate which is better all day | 00:05 |
| holstein | you need the one for your machine | 00:05 |
| holstein | i think its in the repos | 00:05 |
| DoctorTruth | alright - synaptics you mean | 00:06 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: however you feel comfortable accessing the repositories | 00:08 |
| holstein | synaptic | 00:08 |
| holstein | software center | 00:08 |
| holstein | sudo apt-cache search scribus | 00:08 |
| DoctorTruth | ok - getting it to try out | 00:09 |
| holstein | it literally cant hurt ;) | 00:09 |
| holstein | i tried it for something | 00:09 |
| holstein | in windows | 00:09 |
| holstein | and it did the job | 00:09 |
| holstein | this was years ago | 00:10 |
| holstein | now-a-days, i would probably just do a blog | 00:10 |
| holstein | in the cloud or whatever | 00:10 |
| holstein | no backup necessary | 00:10 |
| holstein | easy to share/print | 00:10 |
| holstein | whatever | 00:10 |
| DoctorTruth | thanks for your time - oh now that I have you here. Do you know if I would be able to run a printer through wine. I was unable to find the drivers for it when I got ububntu a few months ago | 00:11 |
| DoctorTruth | its a cannon mp190 | 00:11 |
| DoctorTruth | clor printer/scanner all in one | 00:12 |
| DoctorTruth | oops color | 00:12 |
| holstein | i would say no | 00:12 |
| holstein | we used to have ndiswrapper | 00:12 |
| holstein | for wifi drivers | 00:12 |
| holstein | not sure how much of that carried over to other devices | 00:13 |
| DoctorTruth | I ended up having to by a new printer - a brother | 00:13 |
| holstein | probably better off | 00:13 |
| DoctorTruth | but its not color and does not have a scanner | 00:13 |
| DoctorTruth | : ( | 00:13 |
| holstein | new printers are usually about as cheap as replacing the ink cartridges now | 00:13 |
| DoctorTruth | its better for documents though which I like | 00:13 |
| DoctorTruth | yeah i agree | 00:14 |
| holstein | DoctorTruth: plug it in | 00:14 |
| holstein | the printer/scanner | 00:14 |
| holstein | and go to... | 00:14 |
| DoctorTruth | maybe it will just magically work now? | 00:14 |
| holstein | graphics-simplescan | 00:14 |
| holstein | it will search for a scanner it can use | 00:14 |
| holstein | as far as the printer... let me look | 00:15 |
| DoctorTruth | I could always buy a new one I suppose but i don't print to many photos anyway | 00:16 |
