Hey all, started using Descent OS but can't seem to find how to install a (usb) printer. Under Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint ( all Debian based ) it is very easy though, has this been overlooked in Descent OS ? regards

Hey again,
I find via Synaptic a "system-config-printer-gnome" package and that did the job. Now it's exactly like Ubuntu and the rest.

Oh, good. I add a printer all the time, but I usually add the driver manually because it's a canon. Glad it worked for you after installing
