    My HP ancient HP Laserjet 6L works OK in Mint, I think installation was easy, but it was a while ago. My also ancient Canon separate scanner also worked. I have to admit that my ability to use of the terminal is very limited, I hate using it.

    If you are stuck with something, perhaps install Teamviewer (or something similar) and then you could easily receive help from others if necessary.

    PS. Typing this lying on bed using netbook with Mint, reason, aching leg from tripping over Dalesford D on floor, injured shin quite nastily, nothing broken, just blood and bruised. Perhaps we could start another thread on injuries caused by Hi Fi

    Ive brought it downstairs to try on the mint one down here in case its something to do with it(pc upstairs) being a win 8 bios originally. Unlikely..... Was considering wiping this one and trying win 7 then put mint back as a dual boot. Could be fun.. Obviously i cant just overright with win 7 so i take it i will have to use a live iso disc of mint to use gparted to reformat disc to 1 ntfc drive ?

    I think you might find, but not sure, that w7 might format the Mint installation.

    Have you got G-parted on a separate disc? It's quite useful like this.

    Was it you backup program slow, or the method of connection?

    I only use SATA or USB 3.0 for backup, USB 2.0 is too slow and frustrating.

    What model printer is it? As Chris said, sometimes a driver from a different printer works.

    I even had a problem in windows with a HP Laserjet 6L Pro, which requires a different driver to the 6L, found another printer driver that worked OK.
