Hello,<br>
<br>
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CUMBRIA LUG?<br>
When living in Buckinghamshire I belonged to Maidenhead IGPUG but as
Commodore faded away we morphed into a PC club but still with some
Amiga activity back then. The whole ethos of this group was mutual
assistance with PCs and Amigas. <b>Is this what Cumbria LUG does for
Linux users? </b> If so I would like to attend your meeting.<br>
<br>
LINUX NEWBIE<br>
I am a newbie to Linux in my late 60's, at present dual-booting XP
and Ubuntu 10.4 Desktop but I have dabbled with earlier Ubuntu and
Kubuntu desktop distros over about a period of three years. I've also
had a
look at other distros using LFX and other magazine's live DVDs.
I'm not a newbie to computing however, I go back to the days of 8 bit
machines and
needing to write our own programs in Basic as useful commercial
software had not then been invented, apart from a few games. As (IBM)
PC 386s first
became available, I ditched 8 bit and was an early user of Windows
3.0 and still occasionally find knowledge of DOS useful for tinkering.<br>
<br>
LINUX DABBLER FOR YEARS<br>
While I have been dabbling with Linux for several years, I cannot get
either of my Canon printers to work with the buntu family of distros
and until I can produce printed output Linux will not be a productive
tool for me. Now if someone was to say that using xyz distro will make
short work of this problem, or to say they are the administrator of a
large network with several Canon laser printers and this is how you do
it, that would change everything. BTW I have visited many of the
forums and like most users of Canon, have got nowhere to date.<br>
<br>
Please keep me in the loop.<br>

If not, I'll bring a vax along (as promised) wherever the next meeting
is.
