Another thing to do with CUPS. I just noticed it is a different version than 1.2.11 CUPS that is included with standard 3.01 Pup. The standard 3.01 version of CUPS has many more drivers including Canon IP4300 I require!

Amazing looking distro, really almost perfect!

When I add any new printer via. CUPS I get:
server-error-internal-error

Any ideas?

Dear Ttuuxxx, Thanks for your message. The good news is purchase is for corporates, SugarCRM started life as open source and is still available for free use. I setup VirtualBox last night - wonderful program. Installed Ubuntu so I could easily install SugarCRM, and the executable .BIN file was a dod...

Hi Tux, Many thanks for the links. I went through them all and there are other options out there, but I'm strongly thinking SugarCRM is going to be best. Sadly due to VMPlayer issues on Puppy I'm probably going to have to use another distro for now to test the system. If anyone has any more experien...

Agreed entirely! I have tried many different Linux OS's trying to overthrow the Pup but none can do it. Pup has the best hardware support on the machines I've tried despite being tiny. And the ability to remaster easily to a tiny 100mb file with your whole OS is outstanding.

Thank you Barry.

Divx gives better video than .mpg encoding to -vcodec was added, also -ab 128 gives 128k audio (instead of default 64k which sounds muffled. #!/bin/sh for file in *.flv do ffmpeg -i $file -...

I've got a directory full of .flv files from youtube. I want to batch convert the lot to .mpg using ffmpeg. I ran the command ffmpeg -i *.flv *.mpg and while it opens multiple input files, it tries to export them to literally to the one file named *.mpg! Naturally I want to produce multiple outputs ...

Hello all, I have three USB Storage devices. Depending on what order I plug them in, they get assigned sda1, sdb1, sdc1. The sequence order I plug them in, they get assigned mnt points in sequence, so unless I remember "Plug the 2gb one first, HDD second, IPod 3rd" they will get different ...

I searched the net including CUPS forums etc. Couldnt find an answer. The only explanation was I deleted some essential file by accident so I have reverted back to a previous Remaster version and all is well again.
