Hi there!

"its just they wont print sends the jobs but does not print. " - A little more info would be great!

"And I don't know how to load a PDF printer" - Well this one is easy, :), in openoffice there is a default option for printing to PDF.

Hope I can help you some more!

Cheers,

Rudolf

PS: no problems with posting here but you might get a load more help if you post in the Absolute Beginners or General help section.

Before my up date all my printers worked fine. Now the jobs or test page just does not get sent to the printers. Other wise they get picked up if I unplug and replug them in. I read some ware I have to fix the permissions or some thing Other say the bug has been fixed. I just now rebooted with the live CD and all my printers worked fine :) But now with the installed version Ubuntu 6.10 and updated The jobs gets sent but no printing. I am sure its a small problem but as a NEWBIE to ubuntu its drives me nuts. I installed the PDF Printer but it prints nothing as well it just creates a BLANK pdf file that includes the test page.

Thax 4 all the help and interest

Regards Victor:confused:

Hi Victor,

Like I said before - you might and probably will find more help in the general help section.

Anyway, have you tried to remove the printer from the manager, restart Ubuntu and then reinstall it. This is common in windows where you plug the printer into a different USB port while the default printer is set on the original port. It might be that Ubuntu missed the port or that it got changed. Reinstalling the printer might help.

Cheers,

Rudolf

as rudolf suggested, you should try post this problem on the main ubuntuforum, responses there will be extremely quick (responses within a minute or 2, literally).

we would love to help you, but you cant compare our knowledge between the 50 of us with the knowledge of the other 200 000 ubuntuforum users. i would recommend you place this question under the "absolute beginner" section, as those seem to get answered the quickest.

hope you get better help than we could offer ;) hope you run into some good luck and stick with ubuntu.

Ons is jammer =D

My donner!

Lekker om so 'n bietjie Afrikaans in die plek te sien.

Ek sit in Slaapstad, en geniet my Ubuntu-masjien moerse baie. Net 'n bietjie probleme met KAudioCreator op die oomblik.

Daar is altyd die 'report' button. Net omdat almal julle nie kan verstaan nie beteken dit nie dat julle nie julle self hoef te gedra nie. Bietjie kinderagtig, is dit nie ? Wat se beeld skep dit vir ander mense wat hierna toe kom ?

Daar is 'n 'edit' button vir korreksies...

Relax... Niemand het nog gevloek nie en niemand gaan begin common raak nie... Dit was net lekker om bietjie te kan AFRIKAANS praat. Ek dink nie die mense op die forum sal swaar taal regtig gebruik nie!

Wat pla, dan sal ek my posts edit maar ek dink regtig nie dat enige iemand sal "in die gesig gevat" voel nie....

Ek dink mips het net probeer waarsku teen hand uit ruk.

:) - Ek het so aanvaar ja, maar hy/sy het wel gedui op die edit knop, en al gee ek nie om, om hoe groot a remoer op die BackYard op te skop nie, wil ek nou nie in my eie LoCo strooi veroorsaak nie... ;)

Waaroor is julle jammer? Ek het nie drukker probleme nie en dit is baie lekker hier in George!
