To Australian UBUNTU email list & Ubuntu Linux Yahoo Group. I am using my Dell Dimension 8200 computer system with a Dell AIO 922 (Printer / Scanner).
I did a total clean re-installation of UBUNTU 'Gutsy Gibbon' yesterday... followed by me downloading all of the updates available -- I think there were 185 updates, approx 282.5 MB in size. I will happily provided specifications for my system when requested (as long as I can work it out myself!). I have installed re-inked colour and black cartridges in my Dell All-In-One Printer.... however, I cannot print anything with it. When I use OpenOffice 2.3's Writer program and select print, I get an error message window "Error while printing" with an OK button to close the window. The printer is definitely being detected by UBUNTU because it auto-detected the printer. The printer connects to my computer using a USB printer cable. Also, the only size for printer paper is "Letter" whereas I need to use the metric size "A4". How do I install the metric paper sizes?!? My main questions are: What are my options for using this printer to print stuff? How can I test it? As I said, I recently installed re-inked colour and black cartridges in it. Could this be the problem?!? (printer has messages warning of low ink levels, but I'm told this is normal for re-inked cartridges.) The printer LCD window says something about "load paper then press the menu key" but when I press the menu key it fails to load the paper. I will appreciate any help I can get!!! -- Fond Regards, Peter Eric (aka 'pew') WILLIAMS My free website is: http://pewtas.googlepages.com (or) http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs (please visit my free website and let me know what you think about it.)
