[02:25] <tabaxter> Quick question: I'm running a Brother HL-5340D printer on natty and it is running really slow (stopping and starting after each page) at 600dpi (which under windows it ran much faster), could someone point me in the direction of where I might look to get it going faster?
[02:26] <holstein> i have a 5250DN
[02:26] <holstein> i remember just going through some drivers at some point
[02:28] <tabaxter> I've got the right drivers off the brother website IIRC, is it maybe something to do with the method I used to set it up?
[02:28] <holstein> hmmm.. not sure
[02:28] <holstein> tabaxter: im on lucid
[02:28] <holstein> i cant imagine that would be the problem though...
[02:29] <holstein> tabaxter: is this something that used to work well?
[02:30] <tabaxter> on windows, yes. This is the first time I've set it up under ubuntu.
[02:30] <holstein> tabaxter: i would probably try whatever drivers ubuntu suggests
[02:30] <tabaxter> thanks.
[02:30] <holstein> maybe, just remove the pringer, and see what automagically happens
[02:31] <holstein> tabaxter: then try stepping through a few of those drivers, assuming there are other ones
[02:31] <holstein> tabaxter: seems like its gotta be a driver thing, and i would expect the one you are using to be the best one
[02:31] <holstein> but... whatever...
[02:32] <tabaxter> thanks. It's just frustrating. I can probably knock the print quality down in the worse case.
[02:33] <holstein> tabaxter: yeah... its not cool when that happens... if it helps, ive used several brother printers with ubuntu with good results
[02:33] <holstein> so... dont give up yet :)
[02:35] <tabaxter> cheers
[02:36] <holstein> tabaxter: theres this...http://palobc.brividocosmico.org/?p=101
[02:37] <holstein> suggests the drivers you are probably useing already from http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html
[04:55] <philipballew> maybe ill ask in the server channel
[05:37] <daveNZ> Ok, New to this so don't know if it is working or not. Message says " channel is invite only". So, how do I get invite
[05:38] <urlin2u> nope for everyone.
[05:40] <daveNZ> Okay, so looks like I am in. Would like to introduce myself. I am Dave and i live in Taranaki New zealand. Been using Ubuntu for about 4 months and loving it so far
[05:41] <urlin2u> cool welcome to the darkside.:D
[05:42] <urlin2u> we like to joke occasionally.
[05:42] <daveNZ> I have bought a Toshiba satellitie A 10 for crashing and thrashing about with various Linux distros but having trouble getting it to boot from USB
[05:43] <urlin2u> how are you loading the thumb with the ISO?
[05:43] <daveNZ> I am wondering if I can download a boot installer to CD and us that to kick the toshiba over to boot from usb
[05:45] <urlin2u> plop http://www.plop.at/
[05:49] <daveNZ> Okay, thanks for that will have a look later. the Toshiba should boot from usb but may be the format.
[07:29] <Yolam> anyone seen distort3d around lately ?
[18:06] <InfiniteSet> Hello all, I wanted to play Dwarf Fortress on Ubuntu, and it said I needed to install some certain libraries: GTK+ 2+, SDL 1.2+, SDL_image, libgl, libglu
[18:06] <InfiniteSet> How do I check if I already have these libraries installed and how do I install them if I don't have them already?
[22:41] <bodhi_zazen> anyone here any good with mod rewrite ?
