[Klug-general] Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity and then VirtualBox
printing<br>
</font><br>
Good morning all,<br>
<br>
I took the plunge and installed Ubuntu 11.04 under Unity.
Bit of a steep learning curve but very interesting.
Everything seems to have been installed OK.<br>
<br>
My one big need is VirtualBox to run my Sage accounts under
windoze. That also installed OK but the existing printer
links don't work as they did when the Linux was PCLOS. I
used to have the printer under PCLOS/VB/windoze as a network
printer with the address as:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://192.168.2.2:631/printers/EpsonRX520"
target="_blank">http://192.168.2.2:631/printers/EpsonRX520</a>
and it worked fine.<br>
<br>
I've checked under Unity and the printer still has that name
and the properties show that it is ticked as 'shared' but
the VB/Windows doesn't find it. So I uninstalled it and
tried again with no luck<br>
<br>
Am I doing something silly here? Is there a different form
of address under Unity/Gnome. I have no experience of the
latter as previously the systems was KDE.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions gratefully received.<br>
