Xerox Phaser 6110

[diaeresis]

Xerox Phaser 6110 installs and works fine in Puppy 431.

You will need this
gtk+12-1.2.10
and this
glib12-1.2.10

available here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=358155

Install these two pets first.

Next, download dvex431.sfs from here
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... vx_431.sfs

Put it into /mount/home

You will then need the Xerox Phaser 6110 linux driver from the Xerox site,
http://www.support.xerox.com/go/results ... e=download

Now, go to menu-system-puppy boot manager and select the devx431sfs to be included at boot.
Reboot your lil' Puppy and go the the folder where your downloaded driver file is. Use Pzip to extract all the files and then navigate to the folder where the driver files extracted to. Right click and open a terminal at that location and typr this into the terminal

Code: Select all

./setup.sh

Sit back and wait.
When it's done it's thing you can type

Code: Select all

linux-config

into the terminal and your new printer setup window should appear. Select your printer and you are good to go.

You can now got back to puppy boot manager and deselect devx431.sfs as you don't need it any more.

Job jobbed.
Be Happy!

And , of course, the next step is to put an entry in the menu.
So, go to the folder where you extracted the driver too and rename the icon to xerox.xpm. Now drag it too /usr/share/pixmaps
This is easy to do if you open two rox windows (rox = file browser, menu-filesystem-rox, one window shows your driver files, the other shows /usr/share/pixmaps, drag the icon across.)

Now navigate to /usr/share/applications and right click to select a new file.
Open the new file (left click and it should open with geany) and paste this into it,

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=xerox configuration
Comment=xerox printer config
Exec=linux-config
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/xerox.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System
StartupNotify=true
Encoding=UTF-8
GenericName=xeroxconfig

Save the file and then right click on it, select permissions and set the file to executable/searchable (default option from memory!)

Now open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

fixmenus

You should now have a new option in your menu:- menu-system-xerox configuration

Beer!

(you might need to go to menu-shutdown-restartJWM if the menu option isn't visible straight away)
