Hallo,
Could anybody explain to me STEP by STEP how I can install this printer.
I'm allready trying this to do for 2 days without any luck.
This is because i'm a new linux user and i don't really understand what i'm doing.
I'm using Puppy 4.2.1
- I have Loaded a pet package hpijs-2.8.4
and hpijs-2-8.2_static-1-patched421
- The printer is attached to the parallel port.
I'm trying to use http://localhost:631/admin to add the printer but don't know what the device URI is and how the interface works.
Will anyone please help. I don't see the logical steps in the procedure.
I would be glad anyone can help me urther.
Thanks ahead.

Reboot Puppy with your printer turned ON.
Run the CUPS web interface and start adding a printer.
When you get to the Device screen, pull down the list. Your printer may already be listed as connected to LPT#1. This is your parallel port.
If it is not, select LPT#1 from this screen.
On the next screen, you will select the Make of the printer. Choose HP.
On the next screen, you will select the Model/Driver. You may have more than one entry for your 690C. Pick any one.

I ran Cups and went to the device menu.
My printer is not assigned and there is NO lpt#1 device NOR a paralell port in de list of devices.
The list shows 9 options :
The first : APPSocket/HP Jetdirect and the last Windows printer via Samba.
I don't know how to select or to load the driver for this printer, but NO lpt#1 or paralell port.
Thanks again

Go to a console and type:
Are there any items in the list like "parport" or "lp"?
If you go into the machine's BIOS settings, is the parallel port enabled?
Code: Select all
lsmod

Thanks for helping me out as far.
In de Bios the preferences are:
- Onboard parallel Port = 378h (so it is enabled)
Mode = ECP
IRQ = 7
DMA Channel = 3
The lsmod keyin doesn't have any parport or LP information.
Some extra information
- I was working with an HDD installed Puppy when I first announced the
problem. For some reason my Seamonkey doesn't start anymore.
- At this moment i'm working with the Live-CD. I hope it doesn't differ from the HDD instal for the printer.

It looks like Puppy is not detecting your parallel printer port, which it should do automatically. Go to a console and type:
Then run CUPS and see if LPT#1 is detected.
Code: Select all
modprobe parport
modprobe lp
modprobe parport_pc
