13.04 Beta 2 Printers

Tue Apr 9 21:25:43 UTC 2013

Hey Ali

As far as printers go, I did not actually try to install a printer on
either computer. That is why I figured the printer was irrelevant. I just
opened the "Printers" application. No further clicks, hovers, swipes,
pinches, etc were performed. =) Beta 2 gives me a message about the printer
service not being installed and beta 1 works like a champ.

I will update the system when I get home though. I too like to use CLI when
possible... though I'm still kind of a noob. But I'm always willing to
learn!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll report back with my findings. And yes, I
will click "reply to all" from this day on. =)
