Thank you both for your speedy speedy replies.
martinh> what is a PPD ?
 A postscript printer description file(PPD).
My appologies I just grabbed the term
from the internet and it was used in conjunction
with my very loing print driver name.

sudo apt-get install printer-driver-all
solved my problem.

Did you check to see if the driver is already in the repo? Try installing all 
of the printer drivers

$ sudo apt-install printer-driver-all

and see if your printer starts working.

I was able to download it and install it on a usb. I did have trouble with  
installing a downloaded ppd driver. The system freezes up. I stopped after  
three failed attempts.

Hi All !

Was curious as to where Trisquel 8 was at, so checked the dev.jenkins iso's,
and oh boy, there basically all there I guess.

Downloaded the Trisquel Mini (64 bit) and it flies on my old laptop !
Very Happy !!

Thanks to all the Dev's for their hard work !!!
