I’m chatting from phone just installing Zorin 16 now.

I choose to have the Zorin 12.4 available as a second system on boot up.

I need to be able to access data from previous system

#56

All worked out now just need to move some data over via USB.

Reinstall drivers for brother scanner and printer. Other things in general. OS seems snappy so far, well see how it handles social media.

scanner problem

Some difficulties installing driver for brother scanner. I will have to take my time working through this the main thing is that i still have the old operating system for the meantime

#59

Ive noticed youtube videos in particular load faster then Zorin 12

#60

Anyone have any suggestions for the scanner driver problem?

#61

The notification pop up suggests:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Sometimes these prompts can be pretty helpful. In terminal, run the above command. It may produce no output.
Once done, can you try restarting gnome-software and installing the package again?

#62

Please explain what you mean by this?

#63

I am running the command you suggested and now I will close everything and open the package to install again.

Log out- then in again to re-initialize gnome-software.

#65

It seems to have installed straight away after i ran the command you suggested.

I did not log out, i just tried installing the software again and it installed quickly.

#67

I have learned to suggest it for certainty for how often someone says "It didn't work."
But not needing to re-init is just as good...

#68

Now lets see if the actual scanner works. Should i restart first?

#69

LOL I don't know.
Maybe?

#70

Well the scanner scanned without any problem.

I just cant find the actual file it would have made. The folder for brother seems missing from Zorin 16

#71

I found the folder where they where going. Its working. Okay so i need to listen to instructions and run terminal when needed. Then everything seems okay. Next ill get the printer up and going but that will be tomorrow now. Goodnight and thank you very much for the help. :slight_smile:
