Hello, Okay, I've reinstalled Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 Desktop (this time I used i386) and I get the same problem... which proves that it wasn't just an issue with my particular installation. Below, is a link to an image of the error I am getting.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/114874183598983861770/posts/BK7yUuaPoPT After running all the updates, I still get the same issue. Strange... somewhere between beta 1 and beta 2 a package must have been removed that disables the "out of the box" printing experience. Is it time to submit a bug report? =) Thanks, Blaine On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 12:13 PM, Ali Linx (amjjawad) <amjja...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > This is really interesting because, IMHO, "ubuntu-desktop" package should > not have driver for Printers for example unless I'm missing something. > > Yes please, I will be waiting for your email :) > > Thank you so much! > > > On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 3:02 AM, Blaine Williams <blain...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Ali, >> >> No luck.
