Thank you for the alert and pup. Will report back with results soon.

Tried the new Peasyport and working perfectly.
Thanks again.

Fantastic! Thank you. As someone new to Puppy, I didn't realize you were the creator of of PeasyPort. What a great utility! I will try the new version when I get home from work. Also, I noticed you are from Stratford Ontario. Love, love love that area (Niagara-on-the Lake, the wineries, and of cours...

To be honest, it was such a frustrating exercise that I gave it a rest for a while. This morning, in trying to answer your Peasyport question, I ran it again and lo! it gave me the printer ip for the first time in a week. I plugged it into the CUPS socket: and remote printing is back...for now at le...

The nmap command came from a google search on how to find the printer port IP. The printer when connected to the laptop's USB prints. When wireless it was connected via CUPS socke://printerIP:9100 and it printed. Now it doesn't because the Printer IP has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back. ...

I don't either.
With the firewall off I get the following results:

The current IP address is 168.192.0.40.
If there has been a change in the router, it hasn’t affected the Windows partition, as far as printing.
I will turn off the firewall and run Easyport again to see if the printer’s ip reappears.

Yes, but I hadn't made any changes to the firewall asaik.

With the help of some incredibly patient forum members I got the printer to work both wired and wirelessly. Two days ago it stopped printing wirelessly. Original thread here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=113318&start=15 Initially, I found the printer ip using easyport (192.168.0....

That looks like a suspiciously correct solution. I am sure that it will work once I get home and make the changes. Thanks a lot for alerting me to the post and video.

Later...

Nope, this does not fix the problem for Fire TV.

Ohh, I know a wireless usb that will work with puppy...... Your smartphone. Plug in your wifi connected smartphone to PC using usb cable. Select USB tethering ON in settings of phone. Run "ip link" command in terminal it should give you interface name like usb? or enp?s??u?. (in place of ...

Is this what you're looking for? Close, but no. Fire TV is Amazon’s better answer to Google’s chromecast and works differently. An UPNP/DLNA app on the Fire TV acts as a receiver to the casting source of Ios, Android, Windows, Linux etc. You can right click any chrome/chromium page and click the ca...

Is anyone casting to Fire TV from Chromium using Puppy? As an enthusiastic new convert to Puppy (Xenialpup 7.5 64bit), I've got it mostly configured to my liking except for one or two things. I get the"no cast destinations found" warning. Linux Mint casts right out of the box without any t...

Try ID=$(xdotool search --name "yahoo.com") if [[ $ID ]];then xdotool windowactivate $ID fi meaning if variable $ID is not empty activate the window. $ID remains empty if xdotool was unable to find a window matching the search pattern. That is exactly what I was looking for. It works to a...

Does e.g. xdotool search --name "yahoo.com" give any output for you ? If the browser's active tab has "yahoo.com" in its name, I get 3984588. The problem is that when I reboot Puppy and run the same command I get a different id number. I tried using different search options like...

Thank you. My goal is to have a bash file that can be triggered by a keyboard shortcut or a mouse gesture and depending on which of the browser's tabs is active, will send specific keys eg name and/or pwd or other action to that particular page. I tested the following... #!/bin/sh url1=$(xdotool sea...

As luck would have it the results change every time Puppy reboots, so the grand scheme of my plan goed by the wayside. I am working on a script with the following framework: if yahoo.com is the activewindow then do this elif google.com is the activewindow then do that etc fi I thought I had it licke...

Awesome!!

The #!bin and fi stuff were merely typos that occurred in retyping the script in the thread. Thanks a bunch for helping this newbie.
Lesson: gotta pay close attention to spaces.

Been working on this for hours, googling and googling but no pleasure. #!bin/bin/sh url1-$(xdotool search --name "yahoo.com") echo $url1 if [[$url1 == "39845889"]]; then xdotool windowactivate 39845889 In terminal, echo shows the correct number with the following error: "[[3...

I do get the window asking for confirmation about xdg-open and also a couple of other steps that I have to "OK" when Transmission opens.

Ah jeez, now I feel like a damn fool!
Once the window came up, I assumed it had failed and stopped going forwards. Sorry for that. Works great!
