Minisys-Linux Muppy 008.3 F (July, 12th, 2008)

[Barburo]

I have two scanners.
The one that I know already works with Puppy 2.15 is an HP Scanjet 5400C.
The second is part of my printer - Epson Stylus CX4800
Thanks, B.

Please backup your savefile, and try.

EDIT... I just see, that the Scanjets are not supported


For the epson I have no idea.
You could type in Puppy2 while the scanner is attached:
lsmod >/root/1.txt
and:
dmesg >/root/2.txt

Then please zip and attach 1.txt and 2.txt.
They will contain hardware-information, and what modules were loaded.
This might help, to find corresponding modules for Muppys Kernel.

Please install in PetGet "Xsane".
According to the hewlett-packard infopage, it supports the scanjets.
I think it was already included in Puppy 2.

direct downloadlink to install with a click in the filemanager:

Thanks for your help Mark, you always are ready to go that "extra" mile for muppy users.

After some trial and error during which I was getting a bit frustrated I finally achieved success with the HP scanjet 5400c with the following pet installs:
sane-1.0.18
xsane-0.994
sane_backends-1.0.17

Still don't know why this combination works but I'll go with it.
Thanks again, B.

Hi Mark,

Went to the MiniSys web site, http://minisys-linux.de/muppy0083/EN/index.htm, to try to download the Muppy-Mini .iso and I get an error, "550 Failed to change directory.", when I click on either the Download or Checksum links.

From what Google research that I've done, this appears to be a server error, and not related to my Win XP download machine. Tried it in both FireFox produces the '550...' error, and IE6 produces the error, 'The page cannot be displayed".

Don't know if you are the right person to notify but you might want to get your server admin to look into this.

Thanks,

Bill

the files were deleted by the company I worked for half a year after I left there.
I no longer work on Muppy, instead made newyearspup.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=37960

But a newer version of Muppy is still available.
http://puppyisos.org/isos/Muppy008.4c/

And the old 0083 embryo and server, too:
http://puppyisos.org/isos/2008-07-to-12/Muppy0083f/

user: puppy
password: linux

But I no longer actively maintain Muppy.
Instead currently newyearspup and in future Puppy 4.13 and/or Puppy 5, as they now also include the "core" things that were the reason to build newyearspup (new kernel, UTF-support etc.).
