Conspiracy or oversight?

A recent Computerworld article referenced Linux, Mac OS X and Windows Vista. They linked Mac OS X and Windows Vista to their search but they didn't link Linux . Conspiracy? Oversight?

Printing after upgrading from Mythbuntu 8.04 to 8.10

I've just noticed printing not working on my mediacenter. Its not something I do often, so I assume it stopped after the upgrade. There was no printing configuration under settings, so I installed: sudo apt-get install system-config-printer-gnome This gave me UI feedback that the printer was not working. I could see an error in /var/log/cups/error_log: E [18/Jan/2009:00:47:46 +1100] Filter "rastertogutenprint.5.0" for printer "PSC_2100_Series" not available: No such file or directory I found the answer by googling at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-520453.html : sudo aptitude purge gs-esp sudo aptitude install cupsys cupsys-driver-gutenprint foomatic-db-gutenprint foomatic-filters fontconfig libtiff4 libfreetype6 gs-esp I had to go into Settings/Printing/Server/Settings to re-enable remote printing. Sorted.
