This thing seems outright bizarre to a newbie like me. I shouldn't even be in a thread like this - I am way out of my league. But, hey, that cups_std-1.4b2-i486.pet got my printer going where nothing else would. Mind you, when I reboot it's gone again. I tried to add
modprobe parport
modprobe parport_pc
modprobe lp
chmod 0666 /dev/lp0
but that did not do any good (I put that just ahead of the init.d part just past the last fi. I just try to do what you guys tell me.)
For the record, I run Puppy 4.1.2 on an old Toshiba Satellite 1500, with a Canon BJC 2000 printer (parallel port). I've also tried a HP Deskjet 3915 usb printer, but I never got that to go at all.
Now if I can only get my printer working after reboot, even by adding some code, I'll be ahead of the game; right now the only way to accomplish this seems to be to uninstall cups and reinstall it .
Meanwhile, thanks for the reworked cups. That made my day.
