      Start Konqueror web browser and go to File>> Print. This will open up a wizard which can automatically discover most printers.

      Hi Ashar,

      fist you need to identify your usb device by lsusb command. The next step would be to check if your device is supported by ubuntu. Here is the list:

      Hi, removing file by rm command does not delete the file from a filesystem. To get rid of this file almost completely a shred linux command can be used.

      shred command: DESCRIPTION
      Overwrite the specified FILE(s) repeatedly, in order to make it harder for even very expensive hardware probing to recover the data.

      usage:

      shred myfile.txt
      other tools:
      srm - secure remove (secure_deletion toolkit)
      sfill - secure free disk and inode space wiper (secure_deletion toolkit)
      smem - secure memory wiper (secure_deletion toolkit)
      sswap - secure swap wiper (secure_deletion toolkit)

      This depends on what linux you are using. For debian like distros start here:

      and for redhat like distros start here:
