| ar__ | Hello all. Brand new Ubuntu user here. I am in love with this OS but am having a heck of a time getting my printer to work. | 14:10 |
| ar__ | I've tried everything recommended but my Canon MF6550 just doesn't seem to be that popular. | 14:12 |
| ar__ | BTW, I guess it would help to say I am using 12.04 | 14:17 |
| ar__ | Canon's website does provide a driver, but I am stuck after downloading it. | 14:18 |
| ar__ | So here's my question... how do I install proprietary printer drivers? | 14:20 |

| Jpaez | looking for help wondering if anyone has used or know how to use cricket crosswave modem | 22:53 |
| Jpaez | understanding that i worded my earlier statement wrong the information i'm asking for will be at this url : http://pastebin.com/FExbnHk9 | 23:23 |
| isiah | Jpaez: tough one | 23:28 |
| isiah | if I am understanding correctly you are trying to get your connection over a usb device? | 23:29 |
| Jpaez | yes | 23:29 |
| isiah | ok then, you have a few challenges ahead of you. The first is getting the correct driver | 23:31 |
| isiah | have you checked online to see if that particular usb device has a linux driver? | 23:31 |
| Jpaez | they've posted on their website that they don't support linux but people have said they've gotten around it but as raw as i am at using it their instructions seem unclear to me | 23:32 |
| isiah | as raw? What does that term mean? | 23:33 |
| Jpaez | ..... as new | 23:34 |
| Jpaez | or.... as fresh* of a user as i am | 23:35 |
| isiah | ok, so I am assuming you did some sorta search along the lines of "usb linux not working model-name-here" found a guide and following it is proving quite difficult? | 23:36 |
| isiah | is this valid? | 23:36 |
| Jpaez | yes | 23:37 |
| isiah | ok perhaps it would be best if you could show me a guide and point to the part you dont understand | 23:37 |
| isiah | would that work? | 23:37 |
| Jpaez | i'll see if i can find the link i recieve when i asked around | 23:37 |
| Jpaez | http://rikasanggana.blogspot.in/2009/06/how-to-setup-cricket-wireless-a600.html | 23:40 |
| Jpaez | it is wrong modem i believe but they said that it should be equivalent | 23:41 |
| isiah | ok then | 23:41 |
| isiah | what step is confusing? | 23:41 |
| isiah | or, if you prefer: do you want me to explain what is happening step-by-step? | 23:43 |
| Jpaez | could you please explain step by step.... i'm sorry if it's frustrating but still trying to learn how to do everything it's asking of me | 23:43 |
| isiah | ok, do you know how to open a terminal? | 23:44 |
| isiah | you might call them a command window or cmd | 23:44 |
| Jpaez | yes i do let me get to my desktop | 23:44 |
| isiah | whenever you are ready | 23:46 |
| Jpaez | okay sorry about wait | 23:51 |
| Jpaez | having to download again due to deleting what i put on originally | 23:52 |
| isiah | ok, do you have a nice clean terminal open? | 23:52 |
| Jpaez | yes i do | 23:52 |
| isiah | ok you have downloaded the Cricket_Mode file to where exactly? | 23:52 |
| Jpaez | it's in a flashdrive connected to my computer right now | 23:53 |
| isiah | ok, lets make it a little easier. Do you feel confident enough to take that file off and say put it on your desktop? | 23:53 |
| Jpaez | .... is drag and drop acceptable ? | 23:55 |
| isiah | yes | 23:55 |
| Jpaez | then yes where do i move it to | 23:55 |
| isiah | just put it on the desktp for now | 23:56 |
| Jpaez | to "home" | 23:56 |
| isiah | under home you should find a directory with your username | 23:57 |
| isiah | put it there | 23:57 |
| Jpaez | okay it's on my desktop the file is "cricket_mode_switch.tar.gz" | 23:57 |
| isiah | good | 23:57 |
| isiah | now in your terminal you should be able to go to there and see it | 23:57 |
| Jpaez | how so? | 23:58 |
| isiah | I am going to tell you commands. Each one I enter yo u enter | 23:58 |
| isiah | cd | 23:58 |
| isiah | now you are supposed to type cd | 23:58 |
| isiah | do you follow? | 23:58 |
| Jpaez | yes | 23:58 |
