Linuxmint 64bit vs cannon lbp2900b

i have no idea about other printers but cannon lbp2900b and my linuxmint 64 bit never jelled together after trying out most of the solutions out there finally found a script that did the work and have been using the printer without any hitch....

If you have already done anything to install the printer in this series,
in the current system, then before starting the installation, you should cancel these actions.
If there are no driver packages, they are automatically downloaded from the Internet
in the script folder. Printers LBP-810, LBP-1210 connect through the USB port connector
To update the driver, first uninstall the old version via the script, then
install a new one also through the script.
Notes on printing problems
If the printer stops printing, run captstatusui via the start button
on the desktop or in the terminal with the command: captstatusui -P <printer_name>
The captstatusui window displays a message about the current status of the printer, if
an error occurs, its description is displayed. Here you can try pressing the button
"Resume Job" to continue printing or "Cancel Job" button to cancel the job.
If this does not help, then run the script canon_restart.sh

printer configuration command: cngplp
additional settings, command: captstatusui -P <printer_name>
Auto-off setting (not for all models): autoshutdowntool
Comments and errors write to the mail coden@mail.ru or
on the forum http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=189049.0
To log the installation process, run the script like this:

Ubuntu Touch as a daily phone

I have been using Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 4 for a year now, For an Android alternative OS for smartphones it has come a long way compared to other options like Firefox, Sailfish, Tizen, Bada, Meego etc...

Now that I have used for about a year I could vouch that it can be used as a daily driver if all you do is Call, Msg, Listen to music and watch videos... But that's not all we do is it.... Ubuntu touch even though has been successful compared to others it's still has a lot to catch up to Android to satisfy, and hook general public rather than just enthusiast like me....

Ubuntu touch is lacking in apps availability, operation speed. We know what our smartphones are capable of... But don't find Ubuntu touch delivering it....

Install ScreenFetch on Linuxmint

1. Install ScreenFetch Dependencies
     sudo apt-get install lsb-release scrot

2. Install screenfetch in Linux
    mkdir ~/screenfetch
    cd ~/screenftetcht
    wget -O screenfetch 'https://raw.github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/master/screenfetch-dev'
    chmod +x screenfetch
    sudo cp screenfetch /usr/local/bin

How to get a list of all valid ip address in a local network?

Install nmap,

sudo apt-get install nmap

then

nmap -sP 192.168.1.*

This does a simple ping scan in the entire subnet to see which all host's are online.

Wifi File transfer from ubuntu touch to android/pc

Requirements

Ubuntu touch - needs the wifitransfer app by Stuart langgridge

Android - needs any file managers with FTP support

Connect both phones via wifi tethering

On Ubuntu touch
Turn on wifitransfer
Which will provide
IP address
Port
Username
Password

On Android create FTP server
Provide details given on Ubuntu touch and connect
Copy files to the FTP folder

All files transferred to Ubuntu touch will be stored in .local/share/wifitransfer file

Similar all files copied to .local/share/wifitransfer will be available on Android FTP server
