See https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libtiff4 Was part of 14.04 Trying sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev Gets the following: sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libtiff4-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libtiff5-dev:i386 libtiff5-dev E: Package 'libtiff4-dev' has no installation candidate My guess is that the printer driver you're trying to install is obsolete. A look at https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-Pixma_MP250 indicates that the Canon Australia site was the only source for the right driver and is no longer available. > Another issue is that I'm trying to install Slingscold but none of the > repositories I'm adding is working.

The app does not run. Any idea why? Try running Master PDF from the command-line to determine if the program is installed. The terminal command is masterpdfeditor4. If the terminal command works, the panel launcher is broken. I'm not sure how to fix the problem in whistermenu (it's complicated). But, I use standalone launchers for my most used apps. So, for Master PDF, create a new launcher or edit your current launcher. The command for the launcher should be /opt/master-pdf-editor-4/masterpdfeditor4 %f. > Now that I'm thinking in netiquete. should I split this mail in three > parts or is ok to send it like this... > > Thanks in advance for your help. > > Regards, > Andrés.- > Good luck, Victor -- Victor Forberger [email protected] blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
