Can anyone confirm that they see this problem?

I was able to install my HP1050 all-in-one printer using cups without issue... however.... it won't print a test page, says no such file or directory found... and... it won't print anything else either? Also, the scanner won't even attempt to come work?

There is no doubt, there are serious 'Cups' issues?

Hope this helps

I have found later versions of CUPS to be nothing but trouble and later versions of gutenprint do not have my printer as an option. I installed the following pets from the /quirky/ repository and it solved the problem:

cups-1.3.11-2-w5c.pet
gutenprint-5.2.6-w5.pet

This is the perfect combination for my HP DeskJet 510 printer.

You never cease to amaze me old buddy!!

You’re little fix (.pet) worked like a charm... printed just fine from Leafpad and Abiword I expect it will do the same from elsewhere. I will say, the printing was super fast! Only had hplip-3.11.10 print & hplip-3.11.10 scan installed.

Just to let you know a test I did... Installed jamiaha’s printer package .sfs from Saluki... it auto installed your peasyscan packages in Precise and low and behold... your peasyscan would print a beautiful graphic from a file (I did a .jpg I believe) Your scanner itself would do a preview then a scan but the scan-window just flashed briefly and would not display the scanned picture... As I say, just for your info!

Xsane scanner from graphics in Precise is just a ‘no go’ period, it is not even recognized?

You may well be right and Precise may never get going and I'm not really sure if BK wants it to get going, I believe it's more of a personal build he wanted... but I figure if BK took the time to create it, and make it available, someone may be able to use it, so... I'll give some time testing for him. I will say, what does work works very nice in Precise!

As always... "Thanks rcrsn51"

epdfview needs liblcms2 available from liblcms2-2_2.2+git20110628-2ubuntu3_i386.deb which you can also get from the Puppy Package Manager.

This took some time to figure out. Gsetting-desktop-schemas were not activated just by installing them. So...they needed some app to activate them. I did find references to gsettings application. Did find it, did hunt other needed stuff, fixed 3 dead symlinks, did hunt down gecko-media-player schema, placed it to appropriate ? place and then I compiled the schemas. And....Seamonkey started to work.

I did reduce the needed stuff to ready pet and it executes the compilation with pinstall.sh script:
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

You can use that command if you need to hunt more schemas and place them. I did put the gecko-mediaplayer schema to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas folder. Not the correct place...but I didnt bother to find out what is correct place and when you compile....it is easier to compile just one folder content.

Have fun.....

Oh...I got the ubuntu precise ghostscript to work. I didnt use Barrys version. Just for fun of it. It much bigger so Barrys one is better choice. And the printing has been solved already anyway.

This woofed build starts to behave....

rcrsn51 asked:
Why on earth would you do that?

sszindian reply:
I do a lot of cross-testing of various programs to see what they will handle or... what will break them. Just something I like to do as most others test normally. Surprisingly, I do find a lot of programs that work from one version to another especially where a certain program I want to use isn't available from the source program. For example... Precise and the printing issue, in the PPM are hplip 12's that are listed for download but, no one listed even had them available at there repo., thus tried various other things!

I installed the '.pets' of Peasyscan and they both work great in Precise!
