Maybe I am getting goofy in my old age, but when I loaded Ultimate Edition 3.2 I noticed a couple of features I really liked in 2.9 missing. For example, I liked to place a launcher at the top of my screen with all my most-used apps on it. The new version has a couple of applets I can't even get rid of (Conky, for one). Maybe this is a trait of Gnome 3.0?
I tried loading my Brother HL-5340D networked laser printer (I have to have my printer!). In 2.9, I could click 'Add Printer' and run the drivers off the manufacturer's disk. It would take a grand total of 60 seconds and I would be printing a test page. In 3.2, my printer is not found and I get a firewall error. I went to the manufacturer's website to get the Linux drivers which loaded the printer, but I can't tweak it to the right IP address and without it, it doesn't print.
I really like the new OS as it is faster and is laid out nicely. The music app is great and I think the Libre Office is a smart addition. The selection of applications is very impressive. However, unless I can get my printer going, I just may have to go back to Ultimate Edition 2.9 - I know that works without a glitch.
If anyone has some suggestions just short of jumping off a bridge, let me know. I am not a well-versed command line guy, but do prefer Linux over Windowz. I really want 3.2 to work for me! Thanks in advance for your assistance!
