Once the system has finished configuring use the Policies, Access Control, Printer and Job Options tabs in the Printer Configuration Window to set personal preferences for printer policy, user sharing, paper type, print quality, and job control. Other than selecting printer sharing, paper type, print quality I used the default settings in this area.

To test the installation click on the Settings tab:
Select: Print Test Page. Print Self-Test Page and/or Clean Print Heads.


This little printer works GREAT! Couldn't beat the $39.00 sale cost either. I think the regular price was around 59 to 69 dollars.

Note: Couldn't get my $400.00 All-in-One Lexmark to work. Couldn't get my near $200.00 All-in-One Brother to work. Couldn't get my $50.00 Dell to work. But this little $39.00 HP DJD 4260 works like a charm, has a good print, and installed without a hitch.

If you want to be sure of a printer installing OK, I think the only one you can be sure of is HP .
My HP L7580 installed without a hitch .Plus HPLIP Toolbox available
and have installed it. Makes using the printer very easy. Can check ink available , head info. etc.etc.
Lexmark seems to be bottom of the heap !

Laptop:

Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Heron

Lenovo 3000 N200

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1,86 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 160 GB

Sound fix: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestin...00N200_0769B2G

I haven't tried SD-reader and fingerprint scanner, but other hardware works great. Actually the wireless is better than Vista. In Vista I could reach 60%, in Ubuntu I reach 86 - 95%!

OS#: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Heron kernel version: 2.6.24-21-generic

Memory: 2GB DDR2 Kingston Ram

Graphics:Integrated Intel seemed to work fine the little bit I tested it. I also have an XFX Nvidia 8600 GT. It works beautifully in here.

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6420 @ 2.21 ghz (I believe it is overclocked a tiny bit, stock is 2.13 I think)

Motherboard: ASUS P5B-VM SE

Sound:Integrated works fine, but to achieve 5.1 digital (I actually think I can only get 5.0 digital (no center)), it requires a bit of tweaking, but basically works fine, Turtle beach Riveira.

No problems, runs perfectly other than what's noted. I did notice one weird thing, however, after resuming from standby in Hardy(by turning on my computer), my CD Drive will eject immediately and then go back in real quick. I have no idea what this is caused by, maybe a BIOS setting or BIOS confliction? I don't know, but it scared the **** out of me the first time it happened, because I have one of those case doors, so it flung it open.

I also used 2 adapters to convert 2 old hard drive from IDE to the SATA motherboard, works fine with every OS, so it most certainly wouldn't be prob with Ubuntu.

1) Ubuntu 8.04(Hardy Heron) 64bit
2) Motherboard
3) Asus
4) Striker II NSE (chipset: Nvidia nForce 790i SLI)

Worked out of the box for me. Sound, networking etc.

I spent a good amount of time searching for other people who might have tried this particular motherboard (or rather, the chipset) in Ubuntu, but I was unsuccessful.

I just put this together this weekend. My first build

Hardy Heron 8.04 amd64

GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G HDMI
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Brisbane 2.8GHz
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 4-4-4-4-12
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
LG 22X DVD±R IDE Model
HITACHI Deskstar P7K500 500GB SATA
TRENDnet TEW-443PI PCI 2.2 Wireless
ANTEC Sonata III

Everything works pretty much out of the box. Internal speaker doesn't work. Front audio jack works fine. I haven't tested the rear. Everything else seems to work so far. Have not tested the DVI/HDMI ports yet. Going to add a Radeon 3450 video card for future Crossfire (I also want s-video out for my tv).
