I sometimes use localhost:631 ( your recommendation ) but I do just as you say. Cups reports that the printer and driver are correctly installed. Print a test page fails, although the green printer LED flashes and the heater fan runs. 8-bit has a hint #2 where the author recommends that the printer ...

I downloaded it, installed it , got into Cups but I can't find Make, I have looked around at some pages in Cups but I haven't found FX yet.
My version is CUPS 1.4.8 for puppy Precise 5.4.4
Thanks

Thanks 8-bit but hint #1 didn't work, I have pluged it in as a line printer on LPT1 with parallel cable-still no good. Other devices work on the USB so that ought be OK, but you never know. So I tried to boot puppy pfix=ram so the firewall would not be enabled- no good. Then i suspected that Cups -M...

I have Precise 5.4.3 booting off a DVD,and saving on sda1 - Home. I also have the system on a stick. (If this hint is in the wrong place please remove it) To make a clone or backup Switch off at the wall, motherboards are prone to fail if you play with them while there is any chance they may have po...

I seem to be a very slow learner when it comes to the forum. The driver has gone again because i took too long to get it, i think. Oh well I will look again in a day or two sorry for the frustation i am causing I have given 8-bit's hint a go and tried one of the laserjet 2,3,4,5,6, and a smattering ...

Sorry,i haven't gotten the feel of this forum stuff yet.
I think you wanted me to reply here to see if i could.
I dont know how to remove the other post.
I will await your driver
I changed to precise 5.4.3
thanks

I have 2 FUJI XEROX 203 B/W laser with 2 full cartridges,the expensive bit. I have tried all the XEROX drivers in cups,no luck.(slacko 5.4) I can not find a linux driver on the XEROX site. I guess that the 203 is just an australian import. So I 'print to file', save to a stick , load the pdf into XP...

I have 2 DocuPrint 203 with full cartridges. They are simple mono laser printers,but I can't find a linux driver on the XEROX site. I have tried every driver on the slacko 5.4 version of cups So I 'print to file', which works 90% of the attempts, then copy to a stick, transfer that to XP and print. ...

Thank you.
that new version of the tcl_tk_games.sfs did the trick.
It works great on slacko 5.4.
This - use of the forum - has been a great leap forward for me.
I am going to tackle printing again. About a year ago i tried the rs51 (i think) method. i will try again and annoy him.
thanks again.

thanks muggins but firstly I updated to micko slacko 5.4 and hoped--- you never know. but Freecell didn't work, so i tried tck_qt-games.sfs, it wont work as it i have the wrong version of the kernel. the utilities>> version converter wont do the job either,oh well. thanks geofery I am in caloundra s...

From the jumping off page you can get to Barry's leading-edge development site. From there go to technical and package managerment then PPM. Barry does a good job of explaining how to use the PPM and demonstrating its use. I will try to attach an image of his 4.31 version of the PPM. It is different...
