[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <knome> are you now on xubuntu 10.10?
[00:33] <metroid2> yes
[00:33] <metroid2> system-config-printer?
[00:33] <knome> yeah
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <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...)
[00:37] <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
[00:38] <metroid2> what is iirc?
[00:38] <knome> iirc = if i remember correctly
[00:40] <metroid2> what is iirc?
[00:40] <knome> metroid2, iirc = if i remember correctly
[00:41] <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)
[00:42] <metroid2> oh i see
[00:43] <metroid2> i always get "no printer found at that address"
[00:44] <knome> so try to search it automatically then?
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <metroid2> what is appsocket/HP jet direct?
[00:47] <knome> probably something that is needed for some HP printers to work

[02:26] <trollnystan> Hi, does anyone know how to move the taskbar windows from the bottom bar to the top?
[02:27] <mhall119> right-click the top panel, add a taskbar
[02:27] <mhall119> then remove it from the bottom panel
[02:28] <trollnystan> Thanks, that did it =)
[08:36] <CryojenX> Hello, I'm new to Xubuntu, and have some questions
[10:03] <psycho_oreos> !ask| CryojenX

[23:23] <Tethtibis> does anyone know if Xubuntu 11.04 will be using wayland, instead of the xserver, like Ubuntu 11.04 will be?
[23:24] <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?
[23:27] <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 ;)
[23:28] <Tethtibis> lol, nice one. ;O)
[23:28] <ochosi> thx
[23:28] <ochosi> :)
