Hello Joshua,<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your research! <br>
<br>
I'll stick to repo packages from now on. I'l become 67 years old
this month, and still learning :)<br>
So i have to take some more rigorous steps to get my printer back. <br>
Is there a command like " apt-get install xubuntu" to avoid that i
have to reinstall all my personal software? (because as far as i
know all the packages should be somewere on the computer).<br>
<br>
Hope to hear from you.<br>
<br>
with kind regards,<br>
wim dukker<br>

TThe package version appears to be exactly the same as the repo
version:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ghostscript">http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ghostscript</a><br>
<br>
There are also no conflicts listed in the dependencies so it
doesn't appear that installing it would remove anything else (I
haven't checked the site one yet but its probably just a mirror).
It doesn't appear that this has caused anything to break, in
general though stick only to repo packages for core things.<br>

Hello Joshua and Bruno,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your fast reply, great!<br>
<br>
Joshua: I have added the dpkg logfile of today regarding
installing ghostsript package (found on <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/ghostscript_9.06%7Edfsg-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb.html">http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/ghostscript_9.06~dfsg-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb.html</a>).
<br>
Because I am NOT a linux nerd I don't understand whats in the
logfile, but what I am understanding is that my printer is
missing.<br>
<br>
Because i am not a nerd i have a number of questions; e.g.<br>
<ol>
<li>How do i find out what is is installed at the moment and
what not?</li>
<li>What has cups to do with ghostsript?</li>
<li>How do i add / remove a printer in cups etc.</li>
<li>Is there somwhere to find a good cups manual for people
like me to get a basic understanding of cups, ppd files,
ghostscript and there relationships???<br>
</li>
</ol>
Bruno: I have explored the thread and it looks promising but
first of all i need my printer back. <br>
On this moment if i want to add a printer the program is asking
for a server ??<br>
<br>
Hope that you guys know how to help me further.<br>
Many thanks in advance<br>
<br>
With kind regards,<br>
