General Help & Advice / Re: Help needed with FREE CAD programmes
« on: September 01, 2019, 10:33:43 am »
Thanks for that Sezo. DraftSight is up and running again.
Do you think I will need BricsCad 19.2 (trial) after the free draftsight finishes ? maybe I should try it now just in case ??
thanks again
Don W
EDIT Thanks again SeZo, I have installed BricsCad 19.2 and it is working fine. I may send you a PM at a later date.

General Help & Advice / Help needed with FREE CAD programmes (Solved)

Hi Mark,
When I recently went to run DraftSight it said my trial had expired and to log in and get an update. I tried this but have not been able to get it installed and running to date. I was then told that the FREE version would be unavailable from the end of December so I thought it a waste of time to install for a couple of months as I didn't intend purchasing it.
I also have bricscadV17 listed in the Graphics table and it doesn't work either, when I click on it nothing happens.
I have installed LibreCad and it works ok.
Can you help me get rid of DraftSight and bricscad ??
Thanks again
Don W

Go to
Menu > Settings > Printers

right-click on any listed printers and click "Delete"

When you have NO printers left, go here
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX
and search for
XP-355
Linux

you now need to download the files
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.31-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
and
epson-printer-utility_1.0.2-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
and double-click them to install them.

Once installed, go back to
Menu > Settings > Printers
and click "Add"

Step through the installation .. when it prompts you to choose a driver, select

Epson > XP-352 355 > Epson XP-352 355 Series - epson-inkjet-printer-escpr 1.6.31-1lsb3.2 (Seiko Epson Corporation LSB 3.2) [en] (recommended)
Mark, this was the post I followed although the versions 1.6 are now 1.7. Thanks

Hi Mark,
I am back again with this printer.
I carried out your original instructions and the printer prints ok.
But the scanner doesn't work, when I try to scan from the printer/scanner to the computer it produces an error :-

Communication error. Check the connection.

I have been ignoring this for a while now and have just the the Windows computer and the Brother printer to do my scanning but it is beginning to irk me that I purchased this NEW printer/scanner and I have failed to get it working to my satisfaction.
I believe the manufacturer spends more on research finding ways to stop the use alien printing ink cartridges than they do on making a useful printer that can be used/set up by idiots like me.
Rant ober, hope you can help.

General Help & Advice / lightburn
« on: June 17, 2019, 08:06:30 pm »
Hi Mark,
I would like to install lightburn on my linux computer, it comes with the following info.

Linux Installation
1. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo adduser $USER dialout && sudo adduser $USER tty
2. IMPORTANT! Log out and log back in (this refreshes the permissions we just added)
3. Download the Linux 64-bit version
4. Extract the folder wherever you want Lightburn to exist
5. Double click AppRun inside your Lightburn folder

Is this ok to install ?? I don't like to install anything and then come back here to get un-install advice when it doesn't work, or should I just try and see what happens ??

I only ask as I usually install Linux alongside an existing Windows installation and it would seem logical to wipe the HD and install Windows first then add the Linux install. ??

I really need to dual boot in this machine. I have some programmes that will only run in Windows. Can I install Windows beside Peppermint or will I need to wipe the HD, install Windows and the install Peppermint alongside ???

General Help & Advice / Re: (Solved) Help needed to run Windows only programme
« on: November 17, 2018, 04:08:22 pm »
Thanks Mark,
I have the Samsung running ok and it does what is needed. I have paid for the key to run the programme on that machine and it will be sent pretty quickly. Thanks for the interest in this, I did have quite a lot of faffing about with various VBox, PlayonLinux, Wine etc. programmes but that is all solved now. I will only be using the Samsung to burn some coasters at the moment but I hope to get it to cut 1/4" plywood soon.

take care
Don W
