muggins, mtse, after comparing the codes provided by the both of you, my 2900 managed to print after rebooting by adding one more line into /etc/rc.d/rc.local : chmod 777 /var/ccpd/fifo0 /etc/init.d/ccpd start i finally understand, after the muggin's last reply, that the cause of failure could be re...

muggins,

i did not reinstall the 3050, focusing only on the 2900 for now.
i failed to get it working, could it be caused by me rebooting?

- Connect printer. - Switch on printer. - Boot puppy. - Make a new directory: /root/NewDir - Copy cndrvcups-common_1.80-1_i386.deb, cndrvcups-capt_1.80-1_i386.deb and debbi-1.0.0.pet to /root/NewDir - Install debbi-1.0.0.pet. mtse, where can i download these files? - cndrvcups-common_1.80-1_i386.de...

after following ttuuxxx's instructions to reinstall seamonkey,
"menu>setup>CUPS printer wizard" can now successfully bring up my seamonkey.

Damn I spoke too soon. Just tried to do a print preview of one of my web-based Emails in Seamonkey. <File> no problem. <File|Print Preview> whoops where did Seamokey go? my seamonkey disappears as well, whenever i clicked "print preview" of any web pages. browsing etc works fine though. m...

oh wait, i am not sure what i did (again),
but both mozstart n defaultbrowser are now responding!
thanks again, muggins!

what is left now is, how do i link my CUPS to open up in a browser?

i followed your instructions n created a new defaultbrowser. now after clicking the defaultbrowser, there are no more error messages, but it blinked n nothing happened. i looked into the folder n notice there is a file called "mozstart" with the globe icon as well, i clicked that n nothing...

yup, that was the instructions that i followed.
thank you so, so much, muggins!

somehow (i am not sure what i did), there is a "defaultbrowser" in my /usr/local/bin/. but the wording for the globe is in red. when i clicked it, the error message went " File doesn't exist, or i can't access it: /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser ". n when i open up console, there i...

i restarted my puppy n tried "default" with Pfind,
there is a "default browser" in /root/my-applications/bin/!
but the wording is in red, n the icon is an exclamation mark in a triangle.
seemed like its setting was lost, what should i do with it?

sorry, i started searching on how to update the browser after the pop-up keep appearing. so i figure, "for a newer stable version, why not". worst come to worst, i can still open my CUPS through the URL. through Pfind, i am not exactly sure which file to search. i tried "browse",...

muggins, thanks for the reply. i have done uninstalling n installing the new package. i received the error message with line 2 in the console: # /etc/init.d/cups restart cups: restarted scheduler. # lpadmin -p 3050 -m CNCUPSLBP3050CAPTK.ppd -v cpp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E -u allow:root lpadmin: Bad device...

rjbrewer,

there are a lot of defaults in /usr/local/bin/ but no "default browser".

mine too.
i accidentally removed my browser icon from the desktop.
now i can't open my CUPS from "menu".
where should i retrieve the icon?
thanks!

hitting a wall.
i don't remember how many times i installed n re-installed the but still no progress.

from another forum, seemed like the following information is required to analyze the problem? here goes: # lpstat -s system default destination: 3050 device for 3050: usb://Canon/LBP3010/LBP3018/LBP3050 # lpq 3050 is ready n printing Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size active root 33 (stdin) 1024 byte...

If you then want to have them on the desktop, then you need to drag the executable onto the destop, right-click & set the icon. It's slightly more complicated if you want to have it in the menu... muggins, i tried your way. n it worked! now i have a stable seamonkey 1.1.17 installed on my deskt...

i am trying to install a Canon LBP2900 or LBP3050 into my puppy 4.2.1. or best, to install it as a network printer. i tried to plug it in using the USB cable n installed through CUPS, but it didn't work, giving me the error " Filter "pstocapt" for printer "2900" not availabl...
