Compaq Presario 2200 and Xubuntu 9.04
September 1, 2009 by tibor · Leave a Comment
This is a 5 years old laptop. 1.4Ghz Celeron with 226MB RAM. Pretty ancient and slow.
It works perfectly well with Xubuntu 9.04, there is a wireless Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g rev 3 wifi card in it. I had to manually enable the restricted driver under, Applications, System, Hardware Drivers and then reboot.
At that point, wifi, sound, suspend and hibernate all worked perfectly.

HP Laserjet 2300 works for network printing
By tiborh, using Ubuntu 7.10 on Tue, 23 Oct 2007 12:00:53 -0400 (Edit | Delete)
I am using the 2300 that is connected to an external HP Jetdirect 175x USB print server. Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 didn’t find the Jetdirect automatically on network scan so after Clicking new printer, under Select Connection, Devices I chose AppSocket/HP JetDirect and manually entered the printserver’s IP address and left the port on the default 9100, Chose manufacturere HP, Chose Model Laserjet 2300.

Konica Bizhub C351 as a network printer works well

This is a huge Multi-Function Networked Document Center type color laserjet Copier/Printer/Scanner/… I haven’t tested any network scanning or any other advanced functions but the network printing capability of the Bizhub C351 worked automatically right out of the box. The device was found on the network automatically when I clicked on New printer, the default recommended Konica driver worked as well.
