IIRC, Ubuntu doesn't use (or stopped using) localhost:631. It has the Printing menu entry under Administration for configuring printers.<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div>I did not know there is an alternative interface to cups not using port 631.<br>

I have heard many horror stories regarding Ubuntu upgrading. I know many<br>
people reinstall Ubuntu from scratch instead of upgrading. This can be<br>
easily done if you have your /home in a separate partition.<br>

I have heard people saying they have heard stories of problems upgrading Ubuntu. When I used to run Fedora I found it was often safer to upgrade it by doing a fresh install. If updating from previous release it may be ok but if you were skipping a release upgrades tended to be more problematic.<br>

I have had much better luck doing upgrades under Ubuntu. I haven't yet had to do a fresh install of Ubuntu to upgrade. The only problems I currently have are minor ones and might have been due to my removing all packages relating to Unity (in 11.04) then installing packages for Gnome 2 after booting 11.04 for the first time and quickly realizing I couldn't live with Unity.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I have read in other mailing lists people telling horror stories about Ubuntu upgrades.<br><br>-- <br>Ori Idan <br></div><br></div></div>
