Thanks for your feedback.

I apologize for being a noob, and for writing before reading the original post! Of course, everything you say make sense, and that's why I really like Linux Lite. I got the printer working. Apparently, it was a firmware issue.

A few years ago, 3000 visitors to the site in one day was considered huge and only happened around release time. In the last 24 hours, over 17,000 people have visited the Forums. That blows me away!

EDIT: Regarding printer setup, I since saw the possibly related post 51759 in Printing and Scanning forum section,so will read further there.

Thank you, Linux Lite maintainers. From what I've seen so far, this is an excellent operating system, very well suited to your target audience of those most used to MS-Windows, but equally good for others. Great job.
I've installed Linux Lite 5.0 to a Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF desktop (i5-4570) and to an HP ENVY m6 laptop (i7-3632QM). I had previously installed Linux Lite 4.8 to the Optiplex. Though I haven't yet tested extensively with version 5.0, it so far looks very good to use; however, a couple of things I noticed in Jacob Pertou's earlier post, and also saw myself, made me decide it is worthwhile to comment now, before I can have a deeper look in a few days time.

Things I noticed
- I simply couldn't get my HP3630 printer to work. Not a dealbreaker, I'll just print in Windows 10.
- When you use the brightness keys, a bell is showed, instead of the usual sun.

Printer setup: I also didn't get this working yet from either machine in v5.0, though setup worked without hitch using the Configure Printer tool in v4.8. It finds (twice) the network printer (a Canon MB5160) but when trying to connect as "IPP network printer via DNS-SD" I got "CUPS server error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error.'"
Brightness scale: I also get the bell rather than the sun.

Cheers.

Not sure if it is a bug or just normal. In 4.8 when i hovered cursor over the battery tray icon it showed battery percentage. Now in 5.0 it doesnt, i need to right click to see at what percentage battery is. Is it possible to have the battery percentage below firewall in the widget?

Use the 'Power Manager Plugin' add-on from the Panel, that works just fine here for hovering and is more configurable.

I'll consider adding that in the future, no promises though. It's easy to just add more and more to that Widget but there needs to be a limit.

I get the Sun here on my HP ZBook 15
