Hi, rcrsn51, Since Puppeee 1.0 runs so much faster on the eee 900 than 432 (on the Vaio, I'm using 4.32 v3, whose CUPS seems in good shape), I'm testing on the eee. Driver: HP 990c on both XP SP3 and Puppeee Samba: smb://10.0.0.10/990c Printer IP: http:/10.0.0.3:9100 CUPS: 1.1.23 The printer is shar...

An interesting turn, perhaps. In Windows, using the 3520's own printer ip--10.0.0.3:9100, I found that the old HP 990c driver works. With my 4.3 machines, what pets would you recommend to see if this works with Puppy? I prefer to be as basic as possible, so CUPS 1.1.23 is fine with me--as long as 1....

The rub is, any Puppy derivative that can run a current Chrome or use a Google Linux app can probably install a current HPLIP.

Jake

Seems a shame that there isn't a generic HP driver for basic printing. I guess the printers outfoxed themselves as they got more and more complicated.

Jake

Would you suggest that I try the Canon driver? Or try everything once more with CUPS 1.1.23 and stick to HP?

Edit: wait, I think I understand what you're really saying. Maybe switch printers? But wireless is working w/ the family laptop, etc... Hmm...

Interesting,
Jake

Well, thank you anyway for the great follow-up and for getting to the bottom of this. I'm running Puppy 4.3.2 on a Vaio that has 116mb RAM/Crusoe 595mHz cpu--I can't see any kind of OS update working w/ those specs. I'm amazed that it works at all. And the jemimah's puppeee 1.0 is pretty good stuff ...

With Puppeee 1.0, I reinstalled CUPS 1.3.11, hplip, hplip patch, both libusb 4 and 5, and now I'm consistently getting the same error with Test Page printout:

"/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed"

At least, both OS/machines are showing the same error.

Jake

CUPS 1.3.11 from here:

Puppy 4.3.2:

Thanks,
Jake

Many thanks for your post.

In Puppeee 1.0, tried both libsub's, still same error:

"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops failed"


In Puppy 4.32, my error is:

"/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed"

Again, the libusb's, 4 or 5, do not change this error. [4.32 uses Seamonkey 2.0]

Dpup Exprimo 5.14 uses CUPS 1.4.4--when I installed the current HPLIP (thank you for that link), dpup found the printer and offered up the 3520 driver. I connected directly to the printer (rather than through Windows XP SP3 shared printer) and test page/MS Word-Wine printed fine. In Puppeee 1.0, I u...

Hi, rcrsn51--I was hoping to see an answer from you

With a Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t, I'm running pemasu's dpup exprimo 5.14. He offers a variety of package managers--which version of HPLIP would you recommend?

Thanks for your post,
Jake

Using ttuuxx's 4.32 (Sony Vaio Picturebook PGC-C1VN) and jemimah's puppeee 1.0 (Asus EEE 900), I've upgraded CUPS 1.23 to 1.3.11 and installed HPLIP 3.9.2 Surprisingly, CUPS 1.3.11 sees the 3520 as an available network printer, but even HPLIP 3.9.2 is too old to provide the current driver. Rule of t...

4.32 on several ancient computers including a 116mb RAM Sony Vaio Picturebook; Puppeee 1.0 on an EEE 900; DPup Exprimo 5.13 on an Ideapad S10-3t But the go-to netbook OS has become Semplice 4.0. Hotkeys, touchscreen, everything OOTB. To maintain a current browser on an old machine, I can not find an...

With all my distro hopping, I finally gave up on usb or ntfs install. I was having a hard enough time getting the distros to please me, and did not need the extra hassle of tweaking the basic installation. With a Win7 netbook, I was able to partition through Windows itself, and so far, the work has ...

I have three netbooks: the Sony Vaio Picturebook (circa 1998) which runs Puppy 4.31 and obviously, I don't recommend it (114mbs of ram) unless you're willing to browse with Links. Phenomenal keyboard. I have an Asus EEE 900 with a Super Talent 32gb ssd that I quad-boot Win XP Home SP3, Lubuntu 12.10...

This week, SoftMaker is heavily discounting its full-version SoftMaker 2012, Linux or Windows. I picked mine up on Monday for $19.99 USD. Since I run Wine, I got the Windows version. My real issue with SM in Linux is an un-adjustable menu font, etc since it's all pretty hard-coded. With Wine, obviou...

This is a great Linux, though I think nooby had trouble with a frugal install (and apparently 3.0 doesn't allow any persistence--it has to be a full install, I believe). This thing is based on Sid Unstable, but except for a weird Bleachbit disaster, I find Semplice very sure of itself. On the EEE 90...
