I'm getting errors when trying to delete a printer job or printer.

i think that the allow/deny settings in cups.conf need to match the ip address you are using to access the server

i think the default setting is to allow 127.0.0.1, so connecting to the server with the address http://127.0.0.1:631/ might work but the address http://localhost:631/ might not ... it depends how cups.conf is configured ... basically, you have to allow your client access to the server ... for example, your machine's client might be 192.168.0.xxx

and you might have to allow access to the server in your firewall, especially if you are printing from another machine on a network

Thanks G2, that was it. Accessing CUPS from http://127.0.0.1:631/ worked.

Success at last, after many hours of research, trial and error, have finally got my Canon Pixmaip1000 working via CUPS. Canon printers are known not to be very Linux friendly, when I collect my thoughts will post the procedure in detail. Thanks must go to pakt for his efforts in making CUPS easy to install, also to those who made contributions.

Congrats, aussie!

Yes, please tell us how you got your Canon printer working. Will be useful info for others I'm sure

Ok, this is simple.
Get a large bed.
Position a 19'' LCD-monitor in front of it.

Lay down in a cozy position.

Now you can read even long texts without problem

I do all postal things via Email if possible, and if I really need to print something (what happens once or twice a year), then I do it at work or visit a friend

Success with Brother HL-2070N printer.

Puppy version 2.02 Regression.



I HAVE MADE IT EASIER SEE :-

But this way still works.


Vital. Before you start, install csh. This is posted under bsd-csh, install it as csh.

http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9985&highlight=bsdcsh

Download and install:-
undeb.pup
Dotpup-Wizard-mu06.pup
cups-installer0.2v1.pup
From Brother solutions website, download the driver and cupswrapper packages.

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html

Put them into separate directories.
Use undeb and dotpup-wizard to turn the debian packages to dotpups.

Run the driver dotpup first, then the cupswrapper dotpup. Do not delete the dotpup files.

Rerun the dotpups using re-install to get a list of where the files are, usually /usr/local/"name of directory"/...................etc. Use the list, dont reinstall.

Copy these files into the cups directories, dropping off the usr/local/"name" bit. Remember driver files first, then cupswrapper files.

Next reboot the computer.

Use http://localhost:631/ to set up printer, pay attention to usb or parallel cable. Try printing a test page.


Regards to all.

Tony.

This is a very useful addition to Puppy, and as it works well in versions 1 and 2, really commendable.

Now, this newbie question: what should the user do to using Puppy and CUPS (this package) to print to a Puppy workstation in the local network?

[dasch]

Hey Paul,

Just want to say a big thank you for doing this. Got a hp photosmart 7150 working and printing on the first attempt.
