    If nothing else...I am flexible. I just went and bought a HP Printer on sale for $25. Working in less than 5 min. lol. Ill just sell the label printers..No biggee. If I remember right, that Brother QL-700 was even a pain to set up on Windows so I know it would be horrible on Linux.

    I followed all of the steps above for the printer. Downloaded the .deb's and it did put ql-700 printer in my list of printers with all the right settings but when I went to print something, the light on the printer went from green to red. I guess thats progress. Im still working on it.

    I want to thank everyone for their patience. Linux seems to be a great community so far. Cuddling a noob is a pain I know. lol I got rid of Windows bc between Microsoft and Dell putting their junk all over it, it's a bloated mess that takes your ram and your storage space. Now with Linux, I...

    No offense...but Ive been on this computer since last night trying to figure all this out. Ive seen all of these links and read all the info. Still not getting it. From a person totally new to Linux....some of this stuff is pretty tough. I guess I took it for granted on mac and windows that...

    Now Im stuck on the Plex Media Server. lol. From looking at the Plex forums, apparently I have to change permissions for Plex to read the files from hard drives? I guess Linux handles permissions a little differently than Windows and Mac?
