Does printing to CUPS-PDF work in Notepad? No reply? That could have been useful information. Sorry for the delay, life happens... I have been able to print via notebook. I'm not a wine expert either, but rather than work in Windows to use Sketchup, I resorted to Wine. It is a great program and eas...

Re: Wine / Skectchup / Puppy precise 5.7.1

I even tried CUPS-PDF but I can't find the darn file? When you print to CUPS-PDF, you should get a dialog box where you select the destination. Usually, it's in /root. Can you export a drawing in some Linux-compatible format, like PDF? I am not getting the dialog - I am tring to print out of Wine s...

I am not using the slacko version right now so I expect we will have different results, but I will continue to share results in case I have to convert to slacko.

Konica Minolta bizbus 250

I am trying to print to a Konica Minolta bizbus 250 but Minolta does not seem to support Linux(Unix) like Brother does. I have the IP address but that seems to be all. The Windows disc's are available.

Anyone tryed to interface to this family?
