[HLUG] Computers for Overseas

[Dr Chris Owens]

Hi Everybody

Very sorry not to be getting to the meetings these days but night 
driving has become a real problem - boring!!

My question for to-day is: Is there a best buy for a Charity that will 
take oldish (say post 2000) functional machines for donation to Overseas 
communities. The Executors for a chum of mine have got about 6-9 
machines that they would like to send to a good home.

And Jools, did you sort out the relationship between Mint and that Canon 
Printer. I have a very unstable relationship between a Canon PIXMA 4500 
and Linux Mint 13 Maya - sometimes takes ages to start printing - loads 
of whirring, prints a few lines sometimes with text in various formats 
and colours, sometimes can't even turn the printer off other than at the 
wall. Mostly works in the end but something is very obviously wrong - 
have tried re-installing what drivers I could get hold of - no better 
result.

Thanks for any help

Chris
