Thread: Shotwell problem in 3.0
Post: Re: Shotwell problem in 3.0

| Using both Tomboy and Xpad with launchers on the desktop, the icons are identical. It seems Xpad has no emblem of its own, so it is automatically assigned the Tomboy one.

| Press the Windows button; type in "print"; Printers - Configure printers comes up top of the Menu.
Take it from there. Make sure to have your printer turned on & connected. |
