as my Main Inclusion Request for Mlter got refused thanks to people with
no solution.  I noticed that there is some packages or machine drivers
install packages from outside Main and some times form outside Ubuntu
repo like the case with printing drivers. I've found this repo
http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/ installed after
trying to install Toshiba drivers and similar thing with flash plug-in
installer.
