Don't feel so bad Avvoltoio, many of us have done something similar,
and even when you get the feel for linux things like that will still happen, (but not as often )!!
Speaking for myself here:D

Thanks Piraja,

All sorted,
#!ers have all the answers...!

Mr Hee

( I did have a poke in Debian Bugs, I'll have to search better next time,
not that I would have known what to do ).

Thanks for reply merelyjim.........

thats whats so odd Cups seems OK, & GIMP is talking to the printer
the paper just feeds through, together with a blank output from print preview,
print to file & PDF makes me think its something else missing for my GIMP.

I've done a complete remove &  install of GIMP on both machines, but still no
output from the normal print option.

I am an avid app installer, just a hint of a recommend & I'm in synaptic
(quite a shock when I open  an XFCE session, all those things in the menu, alt-menu a great hider of stuff)
so perhaps there's some conflict or been a removal of something.

GIMP-gutenprint works as do other printing apps, so not a huge problem, will keep probing,
& probably it will resolve itself over time with GIMP updates.

Thanks for all ideas, suggestions.

Geewhizzzz,

thats too easy!! all systems go, chugging along gently & loading cb welcome right now.

A partition did have a boot flag earlier, but I must have been confused, too many partitions must have put it on the wrong one.

& didn't notice when I cleaned & reinstalled.

thanks kuno & luc, there must be a few more years in the old box.

Now about this flakey win7 on the notebook...............

All systems go, used gparted on USB, all my partitions set up.
Shrunk win7 "C" (win7 app will work on dynamic partitions, but could not extend to the left )
with gparted enlarged extended "lenovo" partition ( left "D" as was, together with the other OEM partition ),
left me with 80gb for my #!s.
Live #! running ok, yet to do installs but should be a doddle ( pats self on the back, for considered approach, getting cautious in my old age ),
anyway I am always a bit disappointed if linux things work first time,
"works out of the box" doesn't sound like fun to me......enough ramblin'.

One small query, I think  I will copy the stuff from (3) to (2) then rename  (3) so as to see if things still work, then I would still have the (3) partition to
go back to if there were  problems. As most likely the system will be pointing to the (3) lenovo partition, also is the win7 own resizing app. OK  to use? I haven't much of a clue when it comes to windows, but I think thats the way they intended it!

Wow dip..
....Tales of Brave Ulysses
gee whizz, that takes me back..
it all seemed simpler then, IF I remember rightly!:)

That is, thanks Hadret, its 10:00 pm way past my bedtime...

Hi & Thanks Hadred, as you say, works flawessly!!

I just love #!, and #!ers.
