Thanks to a different forum member, I have incorporated a suggestion from this Bug Report to make the quite different MTink package work for Ubuntu 8.04.2, 9.04 and LinuxMint 7. I used graphical Synaptic to install mtink then sudo nautilus in Terminal to change the Permissions of /dev/usb/lp0 to allow Read/Write by Others and sudo adduser 'username' lp to add myself to the lp group, Restarted and set MTink preferences for the Port and Printer Choices, restarted the printer and after a pause it all sprang into life.
So, if there are no objections, I'd like to leave the status of this Report as Invalid and rate it as unimportant and recommend folk to use MTink instead. -- Inkblot Doesn't work for Ubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243410 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
