"Too many failed attempts" printing error

http://brainextender.blogspot.com/2009/01/ubuntu-intrepid-too-many-failed.html

1. Stop the cups daemon to prevent cups from reseting your modifications
sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop

2. Edit your cups configuration with the editor of your choice and comment out these lines
sudo gedit /etc/cups/printers.conf

#AuthInfoRequired username,password

EDIT: (delete the above line)

To prevent cups to place thoose lines again in your config file you may want to make it immutable with
sudo chattr +i /etc/cups/printers.conf

3. Start cups again
sudo /etc/init.d/cups start

4. Try to print with gedit - it should work now.

Ugly Korean fonts problem in ubuntu 9.10

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1317694

Carlos08 suggests: Remove ttf-wqy-zenhei thru Synaptic. It works!

Open Synaptic via System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [Enter your password for administrative privileges] Search for ttf-wqy-* in the search box.

You will see that ttf-wqy-zenhei is installed. Click on the green check box next to the package, and select Mark for Complete Removal. Click Apply
