Hi,

I've set up my Ubuntu 10.04 PC to share my local USB printer (HP Photosmart C5280) for printing from the iPad using AirPrint, following the steps described here.

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and am new to Linux. I have this great Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer which I love because it prints great quality photos and furthermore it can do wide format. But since I ditched windows and went with ubuntu I haven't been able to print to my epson.

Physical photos: the final printed medium? These are the voyages of the iPhoto-printer, Bolle BP-10, on a mission unconnected with sunglasses, exploring the albums of strange new iPhones, to seek out what the replacement ink and paper costs are, and to boldly go where no dedicated photo printer has gone before.

I want to create an app that captures photos and automatically sends them to the printer just like a photo booth. Not quite sure how printing works on mobile devices or what printers support this. Ideally a photo printer.

Thanks.

I would like some guidance on printing from Ubuntu 12.10 on a Windows 7 printer.

I have a VAIO laptop with a dual boot setup of Ubuntu/Windows 7. My original printer (Canon PIXMA MP760) was no problem but that unit decided to give up on me today and I now have an EPSON XP-300.

This unit works fine with Win 7 but there does not seem to be a driver available for Linux.

I have a HP Deskjet 720C printer plugged into an Ubuntu 12.04.1 Laptop via one of these 25 pin parallel to USB cable adapters see picture: When I plugged the printer for the first time, it found the right model automatically and everything seemed to be fine.

I have a HP deskjet 3050 which is a printer/scanner. The printer was added to my network using a WPS pin through my router. The printer works fine, it is detected on my network and prints in Ubuntu12.04. However when I try to scan with Simple Scan (for example) I get a message "No scanner detected".

I have a HP 845c printer and printing text, documents even non photo pictures works ok. However when I try to print photos, they come out like negatives with the colours all wrong.

I'm on 12.04. I have the latest hplip installed. On windows it prints fine so there are no problems with the printers or ink.

I'm not sure how to debug it further. Can anyone help?

Printing on Ubuntu 12 weeks 4 days ago

I would like to ask, I'm using Ubuntu and when I'm printing on LibreOffice at paper size of (Long Bond or American Footscalp 13x8.5in) the lower part is not getting printed. It prints all but about 3in from the bottom is not, even it is inside the printing area. But when I tried printing on Windows using also LibreOffice it works perfectly.
