<div dir="ltr">I don't know about scanners but found a program called Turbo Print (not free) made setting up my printers easy after the Epson printer got lost after I'd had it running well and then later refused to work again. Both printers are wifi printers.<div><br></div><div>At the moment, I'm still having problems with my old Xubuntu machines as something has happened to stop my Intel 2200 boards working under Xubuntu which I've been unable to resolve. The same boards work fine when I change to the Win XP HDD (I have two identical machines). This means that I can't run the program usefully until I finally get the wifi board working again in Xubuntu and reload this program. I have rebuilt the machine from scratch several times trying to resolve the problem!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>David Walland</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 8 November 2015 at 19:26, Peter Flynn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:peter@silmaril.ie" target="_blank">peter@silmaril.ie</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 08/11/15 03:17, Istimsak Abdulbasir wrote:<br>

Sadly, getting printers to work with linux is not a straightforward<br>

Unfortunately this is true. CUPS is a fine system, but the drivers (PPD files) tend to be buggy for any operation other than simple one-sided A4 or Letter printing. There is no excuse for this, as CUPS is (or was) an Apple product, and the PPD files they distribute work perfectly.<br>
<br>
I cannot speak as to scanners, as I don't have or use one.<span class=""><br>

It is best to check with printers that are known to work.<br>

Even that, alas, is no guarantee of anything. Most depends on the version of the CUPS PPDs available for your distribution.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
