daevyd, nobody can help you if you don't explain what problems you're running into. Take a deep breath and post your problem. Wait to see what someone says - I've been waiting for my reply, and I'm going to keep waiting since that's the only choice I have.

If you are that frustrated, you should look into an alternative option to printing, just in case you can't get your printer working in Ubuntu before your son's schooling starts. Going to a library or having your son go to a friend's house may be an option.

I wish you the best of luck.
