[ubuntu-uk] Hello is it possible for me to buy a ubuntu dvd

[Mark Dorrington]

Hello Steven

Many Thanks for your e-mail i have one laptop with windows of which i use
for multimedia and a laptop i use ubuntu linux

For general internet search as ubuntu has better security package than
windows.

I have just bought a netbook as my other ubuntu laptop broke down it
currently has ubuntu mate installed on it but it is an older version.

As regards to the printer driver i have downloaded previously from the
brother website the LPR and CUPSwrapper driver.

I install each debian file via GDebi Package installer and it installs
successfully but after that when it try to print
from a webpage nothing printer is on and the usb cable is fully inserted
into the usb port.

I tried to print from mozilla firefox

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Many Thanks

Mark.
