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

Good afternoon,
My PC's OS is windows 7prof.-64bit (where LO 4.3.4.1)
My intention is to (again try to) convert to Linux and shall now install 
Ubuntu (vers. 14.04.1 ready on a DVD)
in a virtualbox and use that for creating database applications with 
SQLite(3) (& Apache & PHP) and expect
having LO/Base as a front end.

Am I to understand from this thread that I am getting printing problems 
with
Linux in such an installation?

If so, what version of Ubuntu is then safe and reliable?
My printer is a KonicaMinolta magicolor 1600w.
Grateful for any advice
Pertti Rönnberg
