Deleted duplicate post.
The response to this thread has been most helpful. Would someone please look at this and tell me how to pull my fat out of the fire:

Are we noobs doing something fundamentally wrong with Ubuntu? Doing something as basic as installing a name brand printer has not been so much a PITA since Windows 3.1. Some of us download Ubuntu...
MyLander, you said "I purchased an all-in-one Office Printer/Scanner/Fax from HP "LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP".

I went to bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net and ran it. I am posting results.txt below, not to get help but to show those who know more than I do how badly a simple thing can get screwed up.

Yeah, me too. 64 bit 10.4 was doing fine but when I upgraded to 10.10 it pooched the grub. Might have something to do with having a raid0 setup on 10.4 with manually defined partitions and me being...

Why do we even have a Dell forum? Dell's are just computers are they not? Why does having Ubuntu installed make them special? The guy...
Well MicMac, do not hold your breath. I had the 10/04 (Lucid) desktop for three days when the shutdown button disappeared. I went to control panel applets and now I have a big red bulls eye for a...
Please point me to something that will tell a noob how to do this.
yowshi,
On July 14, 2008 you posted about being unable to find a Linux Ubuntu equivalent to the windows utility CPU-Z. I would like to know if in the intervening time you have found what you wanted...
Dear Nip,
Things seem to have been lost in the shuffle, now that it is May 2008. Does the source referenced still exist? Will it work with Jaunty? It sounds like what I need to get my VX-6000...

Have you noticed a recurring theme in these posts? There a few different ones, but the ones that bothers me the most is where some poor user says, almost apologetically, words to the effect 'I got...
I do not think I understand. When I built my last computer I got a nice big SATA drive and salvaged the PATA drive out of my old computer. Then, using the Ubuntu Alternate CD and instructions from...
Perhaps this will give you a lead:
After complaining about the upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid breaking my webcam, and unsuccessfully trolling the beginners forum for answers, I broadened my search...
I have Linux and Win XP on a KVM switch. I am not a gamer. I use Linux 90% of the time. Might use Linux more if it were not for my Canon printer. There are some things that Windows just does better...
Your answer is pretty clear but does not work for me. I followed your instructions and replaced the word 'skype' in the command box with one of the lines spiderbatdad suggested. Got "Error Could...
