Hi

Does anybody know if the current printing problems are also in the main
current Debian Stable release as I fear I may have to ditch Ubuntu for a
while. I really don't want to but...

I need a working printer. Printing in 6.06 is broken for me and I can't
seem to find the help I need to fix it. It seems like many people are
having similar issues and the many and varied suggestions just don't
seem to work this end.

Edgy will install on this system but the printer remains broken.

Feisty won't install. I think its too experimental for me to get it
working on this system. It does not like my voodoo 3000 graphics card.
It just stops at the detecting hardware stage and then goes really
really slowly and when it comes to loading time it says X server has
errors and I can't seem to get past this at the moment.
