Hey Ali As far as printers go, I did not actually try to install a printer on either computer. That is why I figured the printer was irrelevant. I just opened the "Printers" application. No further clicks, hovers, swipes, pinches, etc were performed. =) Beta 2 gives me a message about the printer service not being installed and beta 1 works like a champ.
I will update the system when I get home though. I too like to use CLI when possible... though I'm still kind of a noob. But I'm always willing to learn! Thanks for the suggestions! I'll report back with my findings. And yes, I will click "reply to all" from this day on. =) Blaine On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 3:40 PM, Ali Linx (amjjawad) <amjja...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Blaine, > > With mailing list, you need to hit "Reply All" and no worries about that, > I'm sure you will remember that next time :D > > Since you are using different Printer, that explains why it did not work > with Beta 2 while it worked with Beta 1.
