Did you look at the URLs that Andre supplied in his post?</blockquote><div> I had missed Andre's post but I went back and found it. This is the URL Andre supplied: <a href="http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-Photo_AIO_Printer_922" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-Photo_AIO_Printer_922</a> And in it my printer is described as a "paperweight". Eg it's useless as a printer because the only drivers for it are M$ Windows based drivers ;-( </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I would have to say that your printer might simply not be compatible with Linux, assuming that Andre is right... Does the printer work at all?</blockquote><div> No, the printer does not work at all !!! </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Could be time to get another printer. There are lots of printers that work fine with Linux - see for example <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters</a> Most HP, Epson and Brother printers seem to be well supported, for example.</blockquote> <div> Thank you for the links (URLs). *** What printers do ppl here recommend for use with Linux UBUNTU ??? I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on a printer, cos money is tight *SMILE*. Can someone please recommend a printer which is well supported and won't cost an arm and a leg. *SMILE* Also, do All-in-one (printer / scanners) work with Linux UBUNTU ??? As I miss having a working scanner.
