Jim.. try the usb lib, attached
Tried it on main system, it successfully recognized and installed my HP C5280 Photosmart and I printed a test page after installation. :D

That was a quick fix.

This is a list of the libs Barry recompiled without xcb which are likely to be problematic in Slacko

Code: Select all

boehm-gc-7.1-w5c.pet
cdrkit-1.1.11-w5c.pet
chmlib-0.40-w5c.pet
faad2-2.7-w5c.pet
gphoto2-2.4.11-w5c.pet
gtkam-0.1.17-w5c.pet
lame-398-2-w5c.pet
libdc1394-2.1.3-w5c.pet
libdvdcss-1.2.10-w5c.pet
libdvdnav-4.1.3-7-w5c.pet
libdvdplay-1.0.1-w5c.pet
libdvdread-4.1.3-9-w5c.pet
libgnomecups-0.2.3-w5c.pet
libgphoto2-2.4.11-w5c.pet
libsigc++-2.2.10-w5c.pet
libusb-1.0.8-w5c.pet
mktemp-1.7-w5c.pet
psmisc-22.14-w5c.pet

If you have a problem there are corresponding libs in the wary5 and/or common repos on ibiblio, look for ones of similar version without w5c, [w5 is ok].

Yes, including libusb-0.1 would help! I recall reading something about this in BK's blog.

[Edit] Since Slacko now has libusb-1.0, the better package to add is libusb-0.1-compat.

Oh it was there all right, just that "no-xcb" version from Barry's compile fest for wary/racy

-------

Uploading gutenprint-5.2.7

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... i486-s.pet 3.1M
dev, doc, and nls are at http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... es-slacko/

At the suggestion of an unnamed printing helper around here I am leaving gutenprint out of the main iso with a message to down load it from the Setup menu in PPM (not until B4 :wink: )

That will save 3M, but it is already spent mostly by broadcom.

I looked in my puppy_slacko_4.99.5.sfs and couldn't see it.

If you installed the Canon scanner driver, you would have given it to yourself.

Here. My Canon pixma scanner backend is built this way - with libusb-compat-0.1 and libusb-1.0. However they claim that you can stick with the original libusb-0.1.

ah I see what happened, Barry's package took out the older usb lib, I wonder if wary/racy has usb problems? woof issue

Code: Select all

yes|libtiff|libtiff|exe,dev,doc,nls
yes|libtool|libtool|exe>dev,dev,doc,nls
yes|libusb||exe,dev,doc,nls
yes|libusb1|libusb|exe,dev,doc,nls
yes|libvorbis|libvorbis|exe,dev,doc,nls
no|libvpx|libvpx|exe,dev,doc,nls
That is supposed to get the different versions.. but Barry's overwrote the slackware version

I just received a PM from a user suggesting that Puppy should include drivers for EVERY printer.

Erm, wouldn't that double the size of the iso.. and then some? I don't think an OS that exists can ship with EVERY driver

Maybe Ubuntu has spoiled people.

In any case, I run Quirky constantly with the libusb-compat-0.1 and libusb-1.0 combo from the source above and have never had a problem with USB devices. But the only devices that ever seem to need it are the Canon scanners. So I don't know why BK is now making the change.

Yes, that's the same version the Canon scanner backend has. And it saves you 8K by using it instead of the full libusb-0.1!

Racy has the same problem. It does not recognize my HP c4280 Photosmart.

Jim, try that libusb-compat I compiled, might work in racy, I don't think it linked to anything externally

EDIT: I'm telling fibs! It links to libusb-1.0 but that is a wary version since the slackware version got clobbered! (hehe.. only this once :wink: )

Makes sense. However, your Lighthouse 64 problem is an entirely different issue. I don't know what it would be.I have posted the newer hplip_print_fd64-3.11.7.pet here. But I can't see how it would make any difference.

I installed your libusb-0.1.12-w5.pet which allowed me to install the printer in Racy, however, it would not print, sorta like the problem rcrsn51 mentioned that I had in LHP. Although installed, it will not print. I also installed your libusb-compat, it still will not print in Racy which I'm posting from now. I'll report this on the Racy thread.

Everyone knows that we don't have proper moderation on this Board, but jim3630 - you need to truncate your script on page 2 according to the rules so that we can not only read your contribution, but everyone elses' on that page.

Don't know the cause but attempts to d/l B3 yesterday were showing over 8hrs? Just got it this morning in 4mins!
