I am currently using ubuntu-desktop and getting used to it because of either a flaky alternate cd I burned or a flaky computer and having to install all the programs piece by piece. I can't comment to intelligently on you driver problem but know there are drivers other than cups which may have it but let the experts have their say. Personally I have Ubuntu installed with the Kubuntu-desktop added and can use either one as I choose. This comes in handy when I get instructions that I can't readily relate to in Kubuntu, then I just switch to Ubu. I may be wrong but I would think that the module/drivers would be available to both. Can't go wrong by having both.

I *much* prefer Gnome, but use multiple kde apps (Krdc, Kexi, Kstars etc) on Gnome without any problems. For Willis: cups supports many Pixma printers now - I have an MP750 and previously was using TurboPrint. However after cups added the MP750 I've just been using that. If you have a problem in kde getting the printer going (you shouldn't), try installing it in Gnome & when you switch to your kubuntu desktop it should be there - I don't think that switching to a kde desktop will change the cups printer settings. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Why don't you use gparted to delete the kunbuntu partition? I used it to delete windows and created another partition which I'll be able to use when I need it. (For now I installed Open Suse on it but almost never open it, so I guess I'll do it again later to give some more space to Ubuntu.) It didn't touch Ubuntu at all. Everything was OK. It should do the same with Windows, just be careful of which partition you delete.

Once more, thanks for the tip. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
