CUPS in Hand (2.17 experimental feedback)

[ATinyMouse]

Hi Barry,
Brand new puppy user here. I recently started the search for a small Linux distro to power my Thinkpad 770E. After reading good things about puppy I grabbed a copy of 2.16. Unfortunately, it would hang at boot during puppyserialdetect. After a bit of Googling I ran across your developer page about the alpha release of 2.17, so I grabbed a copy of it. I'm happy to say it fixed my boot problem! Puppyserialdetect runs immediately and I was able to get to X without issue. Unfortunately, I have no internal modem to test out for you, which was mentioned would be helpful on the developer page.

Now I can't wait for the final release of 2.17....

I successf. added the Samsung ML1610 (USB port):
1. Copy the Samsung-ML-1610-gdi.ppd to /usr/share/cups/model
2. Run CUPS: System -> CUPS mange printing - Add printer
3. Print a test page: Good!

PS: If you didn't have a default printer and you go directly to `Setup -> Printer wizard ->...' May be you will get trouble!

Thank Barry and all puppians

vanchutr, post the ppd file, I'll put it into Puppy permanently.
