Hi all, There have been no. of points been raised in the discussion generated with the article. And all is positive. One of the major issues has been printing. 1. For e.g. these two commands :- sudo adduser cupsys <username> sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart was all that I needed to know but have been hunting for these two commands for over a month now. Finally somebody pointed them out at the #ubuntu channel & it was through ubotu (the bot) which means this info. was at the bot but not there at h.u.c. or w.u.c. 2. The gnome-cups-manager has been having issues as its no longer being maintained upstream. Heck, there is also a blueprint & a wiki page for it, Please see :- <a href="https://blueprints.beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/printerdrake"> https://blueprints.beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/printerdrake</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrinterDrake">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrinterDrake</a> Now that we know that cups-manager is not being maintained perhaps this should be linked to somewhere & given some alternative suggestions, trouble-shooting tips. 3. The printer database while through good sometimes looks abstract. Apart from the fact that the page is too spread out sometimes the instructions given themselves are abstract. Just as an e.g. look at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersEpson"> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersEpson</a> a. Now look at the entry for Stylus DX3850 , now for a newbie to try that would be bit of challenge as the user assumes some knowledge on part which may or may not be there. b. Similarly look at the entry of Stylus Photo R300, same thing, too extract & assumes knowledge. c. A better way to do it has been shown by the entry at Stylus Photo RX640, 2 reasons for it. Unlike the above entries he gave a link to a post in ubuntuforums where a thread about that printer is there. There is also bunch of people who are interested in getting the most of this printer & this person HavarN seems to have some know-how about how he got it to work. So in essence, it is necessary as well would be cool as there was someway to identify (voluntarily, of course) when somebody gets a printer working. 4. A #ubuntu-printing perhaps on freenode. This might be outside the scope of the current discussion but what would people say about something like this. This should also lead to cleaning up on the wiki as well as having a community-based expertise on the printing part. Sorry for the brain dump, but I have been having very strong feelings about how the printing docs. are organized. :( -- Shirish Agarwal This work is licensed under the Creative Commons NonCommercial Sampling Plus 1.0 License.
