I searched there and found some things, but they didn't help. Do I need
to upgrade to Potato do you think? Will that even make a difference?
Should I just blow the whole partition and start over? :)

I found most of that stuff (if not all), but I still had no success.

Hmm, yep, I've seen that. Unfortunately it didn't help me. :(
Maybe I should just delete everything printing related and start from
scratch? I don't know, it just seems like it should be easier than this.
I don't know if it's just more Linux stuff that's absurdly difficult and
nerdy, of if I just suck.... :)
Thanks for your efforts :)
