Connecting to Printers
Connecting to Printers
Submitted by Alan Pope on Tue, 2007-10-09 22:51.
In this short screencast we look at various ways of connecting printers in Ubuntu. We don't look at troubleshooting printer issues, as that will be covered in a later screencast, what we do cover is:-
- Printer auto-detection in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) - Note: Gutsy is not yet released so we do not recommend running it on production hardware, and some features may change between now and the release date.
- Automatic detection of network printers
- Manually configuring network printers
- Connecting to Windows shared printers.
- Printing test pages

For whatever reason, all downloads from screencasts.ubuntu.com are REALLY slow and tend to time out a lot. It would be really nice if we could torrent these videos like we do with Ubuntu releases.
Thanks for the comment. I
Thanks for the comment. I have noticed sometimes downloads are slow, usually just after a new screencast comes out, and a thousand miro players start downloading. I will look into torrents, but I know it will be difficult for me to seed them.
Printing in Ubuntu - question
I'm trying to setup a HP Photosmart C4180 in Ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to work.
Anyone know a solution to this ?
what is your webcam??
HEY Alan Pope, thanks so much for the screencast, and the time you used for promote ubuntu, i'am new user from france, (sorry for my english Alan :) )
I want to know what is the camera that you used in you usb demonstration?? I know that it's phillips, but what is the exact model, there is a very good quality of the image of your webcam I want to buy the same, can you tell me please thanks you so much in advance ..
HAVE A NICE DAY AND GOOD CONTINUATION
PASA from France :)
ps : personaly I use the labtec webcam but the quality is very worst!
Hi, your English is better
Hi, your English is better than my French, that's for sure!
The webcam I use is a Philips you're right. It's a Philips Toucam 740K. It even has a microphone built in so you can use it for online chat (using Ekiga under Linux :) )
typo
Printer audio detection? It automatically gives you statistics of how many decibels your printer generates? Awesome!
Heh!
Thanks, I thought I'd fixed that everywhere but clearly missed this occurrence.

Hello,
Just writing a few words to hearten you doing some more screencasts.
I've just finished seeing the 15 ones for the last 4 days. It really gives me willing to move out from Win XP to Ubuntu.
But this is a shame game editors don't do games working on Linux. I think this is the only thing that would miss me.
Cya and Keep on!
Great screencast; love the series
Thanks again for this great series. As a relative newcomer to Ubuntu, I really appreciate seeing how to do something before I do it myself. I especially liked the instructions on how to add a network printer that is connected to a Windows machine. I like the series so much I subscribed to it in Miro so I can get the new videos as soon as they come out. Many thanks!
hurray
My my this looks so professional, when I see you do this it seems so simple.
Keep up the good work, your vidz are surely very educational for newcomers!
