[08:44] oerheks: already banned [09:51] @SharGen19, Try updating the repository on your pc. Then try installing conky again. If there is no package on repository server then you cannot install. Give a try. [09:52] Well I did downloaded and set it up [09:52] Else you can download the conky source files and compile them on your pc. [09:52] But it's too buggy [09:52] When I use to click on widget it gets disappeare [09:53] Hmm try download source files and compile them on your pc. [09:54] I have no idea how to do that 😅 [09:55] I'm new to linux [10:13] (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/AnsN57pT/file_37375.jpg [10:14] i have that ink tank printer but there is no driver for linux [10:14] and im unable to find it on [10:14] here [10:14] (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/UuWK6TBH/file_37376.jpg [10:15] so what i could do?

[16:14] idk im new to linux, i was looking for a distro and i settled on kubuntu, now im adding things to make it my daily driver [16:15] and completely replace from windows [16:16] @SharGen19, Best would be to read about ventoy for you to try out new distros.

Otherwise you'll never learn. [16:40] @SharGen19, Foomatic is Linux driver name. You select the canon series written ahead of foomatic. [16:40] yeah but im trying from very long and now its sucking [16:40] Foomatic is printer database for linux [16:40] mhm one sec lemme try [16:41] @SharGen19, Because you are following complicated instructions from Google. Select simple tutorials on Google. [16:41] uhm [16:42] No need to use vim and create /etc/ *** folder. [16:44] Find g2010 in foomatic database [16:44] And you are done. [16:45] If nothing works try generic driver. It will work but you may find some margin and page size errors. You need to manually correct. Printing speed may reduce. [16:51] @sammy_v, https://openprinting.github.io/ [16:51] this web? [16:52] @SharGen19, In the list shown on your pc. [16:53] @sammy_v, where ur asking me search "g2010" [16:53] In printer menu of settings. [16:54] Shown in your screenshot [16:55] (Photo, 1280x719) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/5XwDDeFH/file_37421.jpg [16:56] @sammy_v, there is no menu for searching [16:57] Go in your pc setting for printer.....U don't understand simple things... [17:03] can u control my pc? [17:04] remote view [17:05] Matt Chambers was added by: Matt Chambers [17:05] ohh thanks [17:09] @sammy_v do u have ur system with u? can u use team viewer and install the driver? [17:13] Open printer setting in your pc. Select canon printer and then open pick a driver setting, s search for g2010foomatic driver [17:13] Very simple [17:13] No need of teamviewer [17:13] @sammy_v, there is no g2010foomatic [17:13] thats the issue [17:14] Try generic driver. It will work [17:15] Take trial print and do manual adjustment for page settings. [17:17] @sammy_v, nope not working [17:19] @SharGen19, Try another distro like Linux Mint and return here coz Kubuntu is great!! [17:19] As i said read about ventoy for trying out different distros [17:21] changing distro does not change the available drivers.

The collection of drivers and software is different.. you maybe right as even i am new to linux! [17:26] no, open printer drivers are the same. [17:28] SharGen19: which printer model (not just the brand) are you trying to make work on which kubuntu version? [17:29] ohh .. but my printer is older than Shar* Yet thxfor the info [17:30] canon pixma g2010 [17:40] @tomreyn, canon g2010 [17:41] https://openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-Pixma_g2010 [17:41] https://openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-PIXMA_G2000 === raul is now known as Guest25828 [18:08] SharGen19: i agree opn the paperweight comment. those series are known to be badly supported. sell it online, buy a replacement. [22:26] seems like you need to use them both
