| metroid2 | hey, i have a printer on my network that i am trying to get my lappy to connect to. i have opened the <printing> app and "set up" the printer but it doesn | 00:30 |
|---|---|---|
| metroid2 | 't want to print. any ideas? suggestions? howtos? | 00:31 |
| knome | metroid2, if it's a network printer, there shouldn't be any problems, really | 00:31 |
| knome | metroid2, taking that the printer itself works with xubuntu | 00:32 |
| knome | metroid2, did you try the network printer wizard? | 00:32 |
| metroid2 | i had it working with ubuntu 10.04 | 00:32 |
| knome | are you now on xubuntu 10.10? | 00:33 |
| metroid2 | yes | 00:33 |
| metroid2 | system-config-printer? | 00:33 |
| knome | yeah | 00:33 |
| metroid2 | yeah, that is where i "set it up" | 00:34 |
| metroid2 | it shows it as idle | 00:34 |
| knome | okay | 00:34 |
| metroid2 | and a test page just hangs | 00:34 |
| knome | weird | 00:35 |
| knome | it works from other pc's from the network, or you only have one? | 00:35 |
| metroid2 | i am resetting it; yes it works from another pc | 00:35 |
| knome | i've done a few network printer setups in a month, but i haven't had any problems really once the network printer was recognized | 00:36 |
| knome | have you rebooted since you added the printer? (not that it *should* make sense, but...) | 00:36 |
| metroid2 | it goes a little something like this: network printer>find network printer>insert printer address (192.168.1.70)>find | 00:37 |
| metroid2 | is that right? | 00:37 |
| knome | yup, something like that, but you can also automatically search for the printer iirc | 00:37 |
| metroid2 | what is iirc? | 00:38 |
| knome | iirc = if i remember correctly | 00:38 |
| metroid2 | what is iirc? | 00:40 |
| knome | metroid2, iirc = if i remember correctly | 00:40 |
| metroid2 | i search that? | 00:41 |
| knome | metroid2, (an abbreviation) | 00:41 |
| knome | no | 00:41 |
| knome | i mean | 00:41 |
| knome | from the printer setup | 00:41 |
| knome | you should also be able to search for the printer automatically | 00:41 |
| knome | (eg. not insert any network address) | 00:41 |
| metroid2 | oh i see | 00:42 |
| metroid2 | i always get "no printer found at that address" | 00:43 |
| knome | so try to search it automatically then? | 00:44 |
| metroid2 | well, to be honest i am still uncertain what to do with iirc = but when i search i get that warning | 00:46 |
| knome | right | 00:46 |
| metroid2 | sorry | 00:46 |
| knome | metroid2, just forget the iirc :) | 00:46 |
| metroid2 | ok | 00:46 |
| metroid2 | what is appsocket/HP jet direct? | 00:47 |
| knome | probably something that is needed for some HP printers to work | 00:47 |

| CryojenX | Hello, I'm new to Xubuntu, and have some questions | 08:36 |
| psycho_oreos | !ask| CryojenX | 10:03 |
| ubottu | CryojenX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 10:03 |
| CryojenX | I cant figure how to edit the applications menu and add new programs. | 10:33 |
| Sysi | menu can only be edited by editing xml files of menu, application appear in menu when you install it | 10:35 |
| CryojenX | eep :p ok thanks | 10:37 |
| Tethtibis | does anyone know if Xubuntu 11.04 will be using wayland, instead of the xserver, like Ubuntu 11.04 will be? | 23:23 |
| Tethtibis | it's kind of bugged me, but i haven't found the info. | 23:24 |
| Tethtibis | also, if it does, would wayland beable to function properly with wine to run games like WoW, as the xserver currently does? | 23:24 |
| ochosi | Tethtibis: 11.04 won't use wayland | 23:27 |
| ochosi | neither ubuntu nor xubuntu | 23:27 |
| Tethtibis | ah, thanks. I guess I must have read that wrong. :O) | 23:27 |
| ochosi | wayland is still in a far-a-wayland ;) | 23:27 |
| Tethtibis | lol, nice one. ;O) | 23:28 |
| ochosi | thx | 23:28 |
| ochosi | :) | 23:28 |
