I see, thanks.rcrsn51 wrote:As I understand it, you should use RAW in situations where another computer is responsible for formatting the print job to be compatible with the target printer. For example:What is the standard way to use RAW?
You are sending a print job from a Linux client to another Linux machine running a Samba server. The client will set up its printer as RAW because the server machine will do the formatting.

hsfmodem driver for kernels 2.6.31 and higher
Barry,
I have revised the hsfmodem support components and updated source code to bring HSF modem functionality to puppies based on kernels 2.6.31 and newer, using instructions from an ubuntu forum. (I expect to add details soon.)
The driver itself is in its kernel-designated package. The puppy infrastructure and code-release related parts are in a package intended for inclusion in woof (at some point). I hope to automate the building of the driver itself, to simplify creation for the various kernels. That is, unless you feel that is not necessary because you already have your own way to do that.
Attached are the two dotpets and the updated hybrid-coded source tarball. Users can add HSF modem capability by installing the two dotpets.
Richard
Update: Re-uploaded the source package, with build residue removed, after download #5.
Update: Re-uploaded both pet packages (after download #6), to remove an extraneous file and simplify setup.
UPDATE 9/10/12: Removed the 'sync' commands that appear to have caused unreliable detection. Uploaded corrected package after download #12. Also, please uninstall the previously-suggested "delta-3c" fix, which turns out to be an incorrect solution.
UPDATE 9/11/12: Corrected generation of conflicting-module blacklist, uploaded after download #1. This should be the last of the updates, until someone reports a problem with this. Thanks for your patience.

Working great on Dell Optiplex 790
Booted straight to the desktop and network automatically connected. With Wary and Racy 5.3 it was a no go on this machine, due to the graphics card and network card.
Maybe 4 calculators are just one too much of a choice.
Really looking great!

Hi Barry
First impressions are really good - seems snappier than the previous beta’s, especially first setup, if that’s possible.
No obvious problems noticed so far - this looks and feels very good.
Thanks again for all you do - very best regards - Ray

Beta 5 OK here
PPM faster - no Opera which I needed, downloaded the sfs from Terry here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 488#500488
Good thing about the PPM is set firewall on
and then you restart x to run it.
So the firewall is up before connection.
Also got sound on first boot up, hopefully it will be persistent (I have a two sound card system)

Sorry to say but the same problem about 'WiFi' not working persists as I posted on pages: 22 & 29 of this thread (at least with the rt2800usb)!

MOUSE FROZEN 90% of Time at boot
This BUG has existed for a while but it's now percise sub version .73 taking hours to get a working mouse. This really needs to be addressed. Tab reset only works once then disappears.

Hello BarryK
Thanks for the latest Precise Puppy 5.3.91
I have tried some experiments with the package manager.
It hasn't gone to sleep on me yet.
The precise update packages still get downloaded and create separate databases, but they do not merge as it says it will do.
The result is too many Ubuntu repos for the PPM to handle at once.
I have tried deleting the update databases from the .Packages directory and updating just the precise updates on their own, but the outcome is the same.
I have added a PPA on launchpad.net. It works, and it installs all of the dependencies from ubuntu various, but forgot to install the package from launchpad.net. It does install the package if I do it on its own, which is good enough for me.
A couple of omissions I have noticed so far:
The symbolic link to GNU linux i386 is missing from /usr/bin so python failed to install there. I copied the link from /usr/lib and then python did install
lsb_release is missing. I installed the lsb-release package and the error went away.
