I'm desperate as all get out now, Any printer I try to install gets the same error message of waiting for printer to become available. I've tried Brother, Canon & Epson. How do I go about removing any trace of any printer? Or would I be better off just reloading Linux all together? I'm neither in the mood to try another brand printer, or going back to Windows. Now that I get this error no matter what, I'm convinced it's some software error.
Here's what I have:
