I am trying to get my printer setup to both "Print" and "Scan", yep, I need to do both. Both attempts (yep, I've gone thru this twice).  The First time I was able to print just fine, but the scanner didn't work, xsane was complaining about hpaio, etc.  After I installed the ://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html  AllInONE software I was able to print and scan, then something went wrong  (THIS IS THE QUESTION ???)  ALL Print jobs immediately get put in "HELD" status, if I "RELEASE" them, they immediately go back to HELD.  Currently,  I am able to scan (perfectly might I add) without any problems, I installed the HPLIP from ://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne  website after following some thread, it appeared that would solve my issues.     Working from , I am able to get a clean installed but when I get to the Synaptic steps, I appears to me that HPLIP is installed multiple times as the HP LIP Device manager report software version:3.12.2 Device Mgr: 15.0 (Qt4) while synaptic is reporting:3.11.7-1, which in the synaptic window appear NOT to be installed. In the synaptic window I only see "openprint-ppds" and "pxljr" as being installed.  Do I need to removed packages and start over , can I get back to "Out-of-the-box" easily ?  I'm guessing by installing the opensource version I shot myself, but I'm thinking that I wasn't able to scan or something, that why I ended up following the links to HPLIP support.  If I can forward any output (eg: HP-CHECK -t   which is clean, no warnings/errors) just ask !  Thanks for your attention and help,

I reinstalled windows on a new machine and the drivers are not present for the product network card.   When in device manager all I get is the question mark and I am unable to figure out the actual name of the vendor or model of the card. This is making my search to find the correct driver hard.   Anyone know how I to find out more about the hardware that does not have drivers?

I am getting back in to EE after some time so please excuse my ignorance. I am looking for a way to detect pinpoint location outdoors to navigate a robot for a project with my sons. Is there a low cost way to triangulate or use GPS? I am looking for down to the inch precision. Also I do not care if I need to place some transmitters in different locations to give the device a reference.  This is for a robotic lawnmower. I have a 2 acre yard and my house is near the middle with several trees as obstacles.     Two of my three boys (14yrs, 11yrs, 5rys old) brought up the idea so the real goal of this project is to spend time with them and pique their interest in EE &amp; CE.  With that said cost is a factor but I do not care if we work on it for the next 2 years and spend a little along and along.  Here are my current plans    Include a Windows PC on board so I can code against the sensors.  Microsoft Connect on board to help with obstacle detection (reason for Windows PC) Include a USB GPS for general location Include camera just for the fun of it   In 2 years if I have some money in it that is okay but I do not want to start with a crazy expensive GPS.  Thanks to everyone who has help me!!!!

Is there a way to print several PDF files at once?  I have a bunch of individual files that I want to print (about 42).  Printing each one is tedious.  Does anyone know a way to print a whole series at once?  Maybe something like a PDF reader with a "Print All" function?  I ask because this isn't the first time I've run into this problem and have never been able to find a good solution...

I a working on a number of projects that I will design and frame along with a bunch of greeting cards. What is the best printer to buy for printing greeting cards?   I was looking at the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Inkjet Printer. Is an inkjet or laser printer better? I've read a lot of pros and cons on each. I'm looking for a printer with full bleed and preferably large prints as well.   I need to print a lot and a laser printer is great for printing large quantities, but are also more likely to curl the paper due to more heat than the inkjet. But the inkjet I've read is better for true color.   Not sure which is better or which brand and style to go with.

I am unable to print documents using my HP printer. However, I am able to print test pages.  What I tried:  I have tried removing and re-installing the printer from the system settings but I can only print once (the first task). Then all the following tasks get stuck at the "Rendering Completed" status.  I additionally tried restarting the computer which leads in the same task mentioned above.  Moreover, I logged into the CUPS system ( 1.6.2) from http://localhost:631  From there, I removed the printer, restarted it and re-installed with no sucess.  System Specifications:  System : Ubuntu GNOME 13.04  Memory: 3.9 GB  CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ × 2   OS-type : 32 bit  Graphics: Gallium 0.4 on NVA3  Printer: HP Deskjet 2050 j510 Series  IP Adress: localhost  I had no problems with my previous OS which was Pinguy OS 11.04 ( a distro based on Ubuntu 11.04) and it's the first time I use my printer at this OS.  Screenshots:   My printer stuck at "Rendering Completed" status.     From the CUPS web interface; you can see that "Rendering Completed" is stuck at the state of the print process.  **EDIT:**I tried printing from the pdf.js pdf viewer of firefox: I wait for about 5 minutes for a 10 pages document to print, the document is printed like faded and sort of in bold font (I accuse rendering for that). Then the status of the printer gets stuck at 'Rendering Completed' but I can print later on. Again, for the next prints I wait for 5 minutes minimum ( I wait for the 'Rendering....' bar to fill ) and the printing is weird.

I just bought this new printer Canon PIXMA G2000, and I can't find any driver for my Ubuntu. I research this printer and this is the first canon printer with ink-tank.   How long it will take usually for canon to release an official driver for linux?  I try using the printers app and on dash home, and search for printer driver to download. But, no matches found.   Is there any universal driver for canon printer on 16.04?

I just installed Ubuntu 13.10, and I can't configure my wi-fi Epson TX430W printer.  Using the Settings-&gt;Printers interface, I can detect the printer. When I click add, I briefly see a "Searching for drivers" dialog. It dissapears, and then I'm left with the printer forever in "Installing" status.  If I close the window and reopen Printers, it doesn't show up on the list.  How can I solve, or at least diagnose the problem?

I need a little help trying to install a , model number CTL-480/S. My installation of Ubuntu 13.04, 64bit, doesn't seem to be able to detect the device. I've tried an few different USB ports on my machine and get the same result.  I believe there is an issue because when I open the System Settings app from the launcher and browse to the Wacom Tablet section under hardware, it reports that there is 'No table detected'.  When I use lsusb I can see the device is detected:  Bus 003 Device 004: ID 056a:030e Wacom Co., Ltd   I've also pulled the following from the syslog:  Oct 16 16:51:05 earth kernel: [ 7062.388031] usb 3-5: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ohci_hcd Oct 16 16:51:05 earth kernel: [ 7062.611038] usb 3-5: New USB device found, idVendor=056a, idProduct=030e Oct 16 16:51:05 earth kernel: [ 7062.611042] usb 3-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Oct 16 16:51:05 earth kernel: [ 7062.611045] usb 3-5: Product: Intuos PS Oct 16 16:51:05 earth kernel: [ 7062.611047] usb 3-5: Manufacturer: Wacom Co.,Ltd.

I need a DSLR camera with a barcode scanner for on-site tours photography, which means it needs to be untethered! The image would have to contain the barcode scanned information in the image metadata or in the name itself.  I've seen solutions like, Foolography and a $2600 Canon Studio Edition launched in 2010. But I'm not sure of either those products!  So I'm asking the gurus here how I can get this working, which camera would I need and any accessory necessary?  I'm trying to recreate something like I saw the on-site volume photographers do in Disney's parks.

After reading  and reading the comments on the page, one person was wondering if it would be possible to use the Physical Device Object Names of other hardware such as the microphone to find out the names of processes using that device.  I tried the same approach, but so far it only seems to work for the webcam. Is there any other way I could get this to work in ?      UPDATE:  The Lifehacker post was about finding out which Windows process is currently using your webcam.  is how they went about doing it:        Start Device Manager (WIN+R &rarr; "devmgmt.msc" &rarr; OK)   Find your webcam among the list of devices (check under Imaging Devices)   Open the properties window of the device and switch to the Details tab  (Right click &rarr; Properties &rarr; Details)   In the dropdown menu, select Physical Device Object Name and copy the string(Right click &rarr; Copy)   Download    Make sure you have opened Process Explorer in Administrator Mode(File &rarr; Show Details for All Processes)   Hit CTRL+F and enter the string you copied earlier(it should be something like \Device\000000XX)   Hit the Search button and you should see a list of processes using the webcam(if there are any)
