I have a Samsung printer connected via LPT port to a P3 computer with Precise 5.7.1. At one time (with Windows 7) I was able to use the puppy as a print server. Then I went to USB. Now, the USB port no longer works on the printer, but the LPT port does. So, I am trying to salvage a working laser pri...

My laptop is connected to a remote device that I am trying to telnet. The remote device has DHCP turned on. When the LAN is connected and disconnected, the screen indicates that there is a connection lost/established. So, since 'IFCONGIG' does not tell me the address of my device, what other methods...

Double Bonus! The computer with Puppy Linux is set up to shut down after 90 minutes of inactivity. It is primarily used as a print server and possible optional computer. A print job was sent while the computer was not ready. Usually, these get stuck on the computer that sent the job. Today, the job ...

Not abandoned. Just verifying that it works after different kinds of power cycles. I followed your instructions and it worked well. Then, I cycled power and it didn't. I figured out that Samba needed to be started at start up. After further reading, I installed your samba-autostart-1.1.pet further d...

Thank you both for your suggestions. I am 0 for 2 on attempting both. @rcrsn51 At your topic: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60204 when I type the code samba-start Should something appear on the screen? The further discussion of pupserver and pupshare imply that some sort of script...

After months of working well my Puppy printer threw me for a loop. Today, instead of the local IP of 192.168.2.11, it was 192.168.2. 14 . Now puppy seems to prefer the 14 over the 11. I have two windows pointing at the 11 address. It will probably change in another few months... Anyway, this was rem...

Following the "Hello World" example... Start with a simple 24bit RGB drawing in black and white (see my snowman drawing). Is there any chance that this single step can be broken out into an even simpler tutorial? I have managed three circles and two squares to make a snowman with a square ...

I may not need them, but I am glad to use them if I do need them. select Other. Add Port 631 Can you clarify how to add Port 631 I know that it can be done manually by openin...

After turning off the firewall on the Puppy desktop, I was able to able to access the CUPS page through a web browser on a laptop running Puppy and Win7. Same with PeasyPort. On the CUPS portal, in printers, the printer is listed as shared. In Administration, the following is checked: - Show printer...

OK, so when I type in console, I get a long list of missing files. Ten like this: Screen shot attached. Any ideas?

As a My Comment. -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=793462#793462 I followed the link to get a newer version of WINE. I installed 'Wine-1.7.23-i486_v1.1' My menu button stopped working. My right-click stopped working. I re-booted and my menu button is gone. Your mileage may vary.

Using PPM in Puppy Precise 5.7.1, I installed: Wine 1.4 Wine-Gecko-1.4 'Wine Common' and 'Wine-i386' are listed as well. In the 'Utility' menu I have: Configure Wine Uninstall Wine Software Any assistance (especially if console is not involved) would be greatly appreciated. *************************...

Puppy Impressions: Fascinated. Frustrated. Intrigued. The destination computer started to die about a year ago. The hard drive started to crash and corrupted the files. I tried Ubuntu at the time. It did see that the hard drive was bad, but failed to connect to the wired LAN. I also have an old '98 ...

Success!! Thank you rcrsn51. (twice) Now I am trying to undo the damage that I have caused. I want to re-install Puppy on my hard drive. I run the installer. It runs like before, but it notices that sda is still mounted. sda1 is my hard drive, so I assume that it wants a completely blank drive...? A...
