Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing from Linux, Kubuntu/Ubuntu

Frank,
Thank you very much for your soon reply  -- I was just working on the 
installations.
The printer seems to be working on the Windows so let us hope it will 
work OK with the VirtualBox&Ubuntu too.

Earlier 10-15years ago I used Windows&Ubuntu parallell but then I had to 
rebuild my PC completely and for some reason
never installed the Ubuntu again - perhaps too complicated -- but I 
never gave up the idea skipping windows.
Now I re-installed system&programs again and decided to start working 
with Ubuntu again.
Next step is to learn using Apache&SQLite for my need of databases. I 
used to work with MSAccess but am not interested in
spending money on purchasing and was told that SQLite is easier and not 
so heavy as MySQL. Do not know yet.
Anyway I find this interesting and think it is a healthy exercise for an 
old brain too (75y)

So any guides and ideas how I shall proceed to get SQLite(3) to run in 
Ubuntu are welcome.
Kind regards
Pertti Rönnberg
