Thanks. I have been away from ubuntu for awhile and am rusty, so forgot to do that. I have now done it, saw that all the repos updated. Saw the lines:
Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed/main Packages Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed/multiverse Packages Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed/universe Packages on the console. Looked at both synaptics and aptitude and searched all the way through every instance of the word cups returned by their search routines and could not find any cups anything newer than 1.4.1-5*. In addition to adding karmic-proposed to sources.list, I also created the file /etc/apt/preferences according to the howto. Could that be related? -- Printer autoconfigured, but LPR prints with to wide font/cpi setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447961 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
