all-in-ones don't work with Retro 4.12?

Re: Problem with HP Device Manager application

Okay, for me it turned out to be something lluamo has explained before but I overlooked when I tried to re-install everything. Running the various packages does not set up python, and hp-setup needs python. You can get python as a separate .pet file, or if you are running the development version, yo...

HPLIP.pet - HP Device Manager does nothing

Archiefdny, Hope I can help you because I deleted my working set up and on trying to reinstall, I'm in the same situation as you.

The full package worked

Thank you Lluis. The full package worked to get my LJ 1000 printing with puppy 4.1.2. I followed your instructions for the full package (previously mentioned thread).

First question, if I type: bash$ md5 /mnt/home/devx_412.sfs should it have the same checksum as the distribution says? It is different. Symptom I'm ha...

I think the hpliplite install was succesful, but when I try to print there is no blinking on my printer's light, which I think should blink as data is received, and nothing prints. And I don't unders...
