    Thank you so much. It works. I can use it perfectly both printer and scanner. By the way, for scanner, at first, I had problem when using it as I ran it in superuser mode. However, after I change to run in normal user mode, it worked fine. At this moment, for me, scanner can be run only from terminal by typing what this document said. Scanner utility that's default by UBUNTU does not recognize it yet. Thank you for your document. It's perfect. I ran it on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS. Thanks again.
