I tried both of the suggestions above, and neither of them seemed to work. I did get to the point where it would let me install the packages and the ip1800 2.70 was showing up as a driver I could select in the printer configuration. But whenever I try to print a test page, either with the test page button or with an office program, the printer remains silent.
This may be a 3rd party driver, but to write this off no fix planned does not present a pretty picture to potential Ubuntu conversions. Whoever's fault it is, this is a printer that will suddenly stop working with Ubuntu when the new release candidate rolls around. That's something that wouldn't be acceptable in windows, and it shouldn't be acceptable in Ubuntu if it wants to compete. By the way, thank you for responding so quickly. I actually didn't expect anybody to do so that fast. -- libglib1.2 dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
