thanks! i'll try, see what turns up!

Hallo, so back to the beginning. My Portege 2000 laptop (P3 750, 512, 20) is giving me trouble to use a later version of puppy after 4.3.1. I hoped for 5.2 wary but noi joy, it hangs while booting off my pcmcia cd drive. I did receive a couple of good suggestions, like trying Legacy os2 but unfortun...

Thanks, i'll see how legacy works out, if not the idea of taking the hd out is definately worth giving it a go. Thanks so much. I'd like to stick to puppy, I really like it!

Thanks. Yes, The cd drive is fine, I can boot 4.3.1. The media is fine too, no probs in booting from another machine. I tried turning acpi to off while booting, but that didn't seem to solve it.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for my posts a bit here and there, I only now realized my second last was out of place. Anyhow, I've been a happy puppy user on many machines, and 4.3.1 works fine on my p3, like practically all versions before. 5.2.1 worked, but my orinoco wireless had trouble, so i hop...

Hi, I'm booting wary on my Portege 2000 (PIII 750, 512, 20GB, Trident Microsystems cyberblade XPAi1-rev d2), after giving up booting with lupu 5.2.8. (hangs after "ISOLINUX.." writing flashes). However, when wary gets to the point where it says "Setting up services (network, printing,...

Hi I own a portege 2000 (PIII 750, 512, 20GB, Trident Microsystems cyberblade XPAi1-rev d2). I can pretty much configure it with 4.3.1, but when I try booting my 5.2.8 CD, it barely flashes the "ISOLINUX..." text, then i get a blank screen, and booting stops. Any suggestions? is it possibl...

You mean connecting via usb? it works perfect there! but did i miss any suggestion regarding network setup?

works absolutely perfect with usb cable, damn it! do you believe there could be any way to configure it via my network?

Did we ever confirm that LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0 works as a USB backend? It would be nice to know that for sure.

maybe not. How could i do that?

when i type xsane LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0:/libnet/0020008E77CE xsane says: "scanning for devices". After about 5 seconds an error window appears saying it failed to open the device LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0:/libnet/0020008E77CE, and that the operation is not supported. In cups, do you mean i have to...

yep, vendor: Lexmark Model: Pro700 series device: libnet/0020008E77CE Loaded backend: LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0 (my sane version is 1.0.22) and in cups it says: Description: Lexmark_Pro700_Series Location: Driver: Lexmark Pro700 Series, 1.0 (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: lxhcp://0020008E77CE Defaul...

yes, it works fine, networked, on my ubuntu machine, XSANE is ok with it. I tried looking somewhere for settings, but really i don't have a clue of what to do to understand any further. Maybe lexmark's driver does all of it, but i really don't know how to look inside.

yes, i have the scanner working fine on my ubuntu machine. Thanks for all your support, you've really helped me out.

I still haven't tried my scanning as a usb device, (i'm fiddling with my lupu laptop inbetween work). However, xsane doesn't seem to handle network scanning (only scsi, parallel or USB) i'm pretty convinced that i could try set up the scanning via my usb and have it up working. However, i'm a little...

socket on the 9100 port, works ok for me. thanks again!

Thanks so much! i am now a happy lexmark printer! it works fine with my network settings. i did install cups 1.4.4 before. Will try the scanner too. really thanks so much for your help!

Here is a printer/scanner PET for your Pro705 . Please provide feedback. Thanks so much for your help, rcrsn51. Unfortunately, it looks as things still need to be worked upon. I installed the pet you gave me but during installation it said i would find it the desktop menu, but i found nothing there...

It's a Prevail pro705. here's a link to the driver package (which you need to unpack, edit the run.lua, correct a spelling mistake in line 1476, save then run the .sh installer) http://support.lexmark.com/index?segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_PREVAIL_PRO705...

Hi! I have 5.2.8 lupu installed. Everything works out pretty much out of the box, really a great O.S. I have just bought a Lexmark P700 printer, and configured wifi. Works fine on my ubuntu machine. I am trying to configure it on my Lupu machine. The driver package is based on deb, so i unpacked it ...
