The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Print to Canon MF4150 in Ubuntu VM

Asked by LarryZ in Linux Printing, Virtualization, Ubuntu

Tags: Ubuntu Vista VirtualBox

How can I install a Canon MF4150 onto Ubuntu 9.04 Linux guest running in a VitualBox virtual machine on 64-bit Vista host?  On the Vista side, I have been printing successfully for months to the Canon using Canon's 64-bit driver.  Ubuntu can't find it when I try to add a new printer. Don't know if it matters but I have installed a 32-bit version of Ubuntu 9.04, not 64-bit.  Also, you can create new USB 'filters' in Sun's VirtualBox, but I have not done so. Not sure how to tell if Ubuntu can see the Vista box's USB ports, including the Canon USB printer. I work in IT but this is a bit complex for me. I'm not sure if I have a VirtualBox issue, an Ubuntu issue, a driver issue, or a 32-bit vs 64 bit issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
