I've been an Ubuntu user since 9.04 and switched to Mint 12 and it's a great os, I dual boot with win7 but find Mint does everything i need it to. I recently tried Maya and although it works great on my netbook. it did not alike the dual monitor setup on my desktop. I plan on starting a new topic when i have more time if i can't figure it out myself, for now it's back to Lisa. Anyway, loving Mint, and looking forward to using it for a long time.

Hi Printerwiz, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Thanks for joining the forums! And, erm, can we call on you for printer related questions?

I don't mind printer related questions if you got 'em. I mostly service high volume printers and wide format plotters, but I'm also trained in office equipment, network integration, and certain print controllers. I use Mint 12 everday at work dual booted with xp, which is great for field work, you should see the faces when i print test pages. I'm using it for my htpc/file server hooked up to my big screen in the den, I used these forums to get the turtle beach sound card working via spdif. My netbook is running cinnamon and I wanted to upgrade my desktop also but ran into problems with the dual monitors and started a thread http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=103555.

Thanks for the tips and the welcomes, the chat was next on my to do list, nice forum you guys got here.
