This post assumes that one has, indeed, attached a printer, been able to get to the add printer interactive box and is able to search for the printer.
I must say that I have not seen quite such a "groaning board" of printers as Meerkat/Kubuntu displays, it is truely awsome.
Prior to MM/Jubuntu I have always had just "HP Laserjet 6P" presented, clicked it and went my merry way.
This time I was presented with "6P/MP" as the desired printer and selected it and to my great dismay when I printed my first document from Kwriter I thought I had been teleported through the Restaurant at the End of the Universe back to my Windblows 2K days.....hundreds of sheets of paper were flying out of the machine at faster than light speed!
Well, not really FTL...kinda normal speed.
But hundreds of sheets!
So...I went back through the driver setup and chose just "6P" and things worked chop chop.
So... a piece of advice... the great Ubu in the Sky or the Kubuntu team seems to have really ramped up drivers for printers so.. verify lest you be horrified!
Great job Ubu and Kubuntu teams!!
