This past week I installed Virtual Box and then installed Ubuntu 9.04. In Ubuntu I tried to see my printer. It wasn't there and Ubuntu was unable to locate it. I was able to get on the Internet okay and the browser is working fb. I just want to be able to print from Ubuntu.
I removed Ubuntu 9.04 from Virtual Box and installed Ubuntu 9.10 and had exactly the same results. I am a complete Novice with Linux and feel like a fish out of water. I'm getting ready to scrap Virtual Box and forget the entire experiment. Anybody has any ideas why I can't see my printer within Ubuntu, I'd appreciate hearing from them.
My host system is Microsoft Windows XP, with Service Pack 3. I'd like to experiment with Linux but I use Amateur Radio programs like Qsonet's CQ100, EchoLink, and HamSpere. These programs are not available to me in Linux so there's no way I can leave MS Windows. Before I junk the whole project I'd like to hear from those using VB with an XP Host and Ubuntu Guest.
