I'll have to download a copy - - I don't have a Fatdog disk currently. I'll see if that does the trick.

I'd think I should also be able to get it working in Tahr? I get the same results as with Slacko 5.6 ... but haven't tried ipps: on it. Maybe I'll do that first, just to see?

Posted: **Fri 08 May 2015, 00:47**

Well, phooey - no luck in FatDog either. I tried:

ipps://192.168.1.114:631/printers/F335
ipps://192.168.1.114:443/printers/F335
smbw://192.168.1.114/printers/F335
smbw://192.168.1.114/F335

... all to no avail. The only wildcard here is that I used the same 32 bit hplips package converted to the new format... which should still work, I believe?

FYI - The first one on the list is exactly how the working printer appears in another Mint box, so I was optimistic that it'd work... but unfortunately no luck.

I did try in Tahr as well, and found that it still has CUPS 1.4.8 - same as Slacko 5.6 - so it sort of makes sense why I get the same results.

I'm beginning to wonder if there is some type of security in Mint that could be blocking non-Mint/non-Windows machines?

I've got a call for work in a few mins, so that's it for tonight. The saga continues!

You need a 64-bit driver. Get the hplip_print from here.

So to follow up on this thread, I have both good news & bad news.

The bad news is that I still couldn't get Puppy to print to my HP F335 attached to the Linux Mint 17.1 machine. FatDog (64 bit hplip) couldn't do it, the latest Quirky 7.04 (64 bit hplip) couldn't do it, Slacko 5.6 & 5.7 (32 bit hplip) couldn't do it - - I didn't even bother trying with anything older.

The good news (at least as far as this thread is concerned) is that I've definitively concluded that it's something about Linux Mint 17.1's setup that is causing the issue. It's not the router, it's not a problem in Puppy... it's definitely Mint.

How did I come to this conclusion? Simple - I turned off the Mint system with the printer, and booted a Tahr USB Puppy drive. After loading the 32 bit hplip drivers, it immediately recognized the printer. I checked "Share Printers", "Allow Printing from Internet", and "Advertise Web Service", and then went to my Slacko 5.6 machine. It immediately found the printer, and allowed me to print a test page - - it was so easy, it was almost effortless. PeasyPort saw port 631 as being open, and that was all it took. I also set up Samba just to check, and both Puppy and Windows could see the printer that way as well.

As far as why Mint is not sharing in a compatible way, I still can't say. I don't believe I did anything strange when setting this box up, and the printer is still working on Windows and other Mint machines... just not over a protocol that I've been able to decipher yet.

I plan on continuing to dig into what's going on with Mint. Maybe I'll install an older version to see if it's something specific to 17.1... but at least as far as a problem in Puppy goes, I think my issue is resolved.

Thanks again for all your help (and tolerance) in trying to fix this issue, rcrsn51!

I've finally figured out why Linux Mint wasn't allowing me to connect to a printer from Puppy - - it's in how the protocol is entered.

To make the connection, you have to include the name of the workgroup for it to work. Go figure?

So for me, connecting via SAMBA worked when I entered:

smb://WORKGROUP/192.168.1.114/F335

I still haven't figured out how to get port 631 opened up so I can print via ipp:. Adding the workgroup didn't make a difference for ipp: printing... but I think this will be sufficient. Puppy can now print to a network printer on Linux Mint, and I think that's good enough for me. (And it only took 84 attempts to make it happen...LOL!)

I am using Quirky Unicorn 6.2 and I am trying to use a printer connected to a Windows 7 machine. I am able to print when I connect the netbook to the printer by USB but not over the Wifi network. I have also tried using Fatdog 64 620, Precise 5.7.1, and the wheezy community edition puppy which all have different versions of CUPS and have not been successful. I have gotten messages from CUPS that it was rendering and printing but the jobs have not completed.

3. The target printer requires authentication (eg. in Windows 7). Set up the URI like:
Code:
smbw://USERNAME:PASSWORD@WORKGROUP/SERVER/PRINTER

You MUST provide all five pieces of information.

I have installed the cups backend pet from page 1 into Quirky but I have to leave out the "w" in smbw:// or else I get an unable to connect error. (Edit: I accidentally connected to the wrong wifi network and got this:Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) See my next post

Here is a cups error log from one of the times I tried to print a test page:

Did you do the firewall thing? Custom install, excluding the IP address range of your LAN...

Posted: **Sun 31 May 2015, 04:12**

I didn't even run the firewall wizard on Quirky.

The two setups that I think are the closest are these...

Code: Select all

smbw://User:password@Workgroup/Server/Canon%20MP210%20series

This gets me this in the state field "Domain=[(deleted server name)] OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7601 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1]" I kind of expect the Domain to be "Workgroup"

(I think I accidentally connected to the wrong wifi network before when I got a bad server name.)

and

Code: Select all

smb://User:password@Workgroup/Server/Canon%20MP210%20series

gets me "Rendering/Processing" then "printing page 1" then the state is "held since" whatever date and time it was.

Added: Hmm. I tried putting in bogus information; entered info for a different computer on another network and it rendered/processed then printed. The smb://... thing seems to be printing/rendering on the local machine then transferring the data to the server. I thought that the info gets to the Server and prints there and for some reason wasn't getting from the server (ie the Windows 7 machine) to the printer.

Posted: **Mon 01 Jun 2015, 03:03**

I had the wrong Printer Name.

Evidently, I did not deal with the spaces properly. I went to the host computer and replaced the spaces with underscores and then was able to print test pages.

Important! CUPS cannot deal with a printer name if it contains spaces. You have two choices. Rename the printer in the Windows Sharing dialog. Or replace the spaces with the code %20 when you enter the name in CUPS.

My advice: Go with option 1. I assumed that the two characters after the percentage sign amounted to the number twenty but maybe it is a number two and a capital O ?? I did not change the printer name back to find out.

Hi

I am new to puppy and believe it is looking for usb connection??

The printer is a wireless printer , can u help

No drivers for konica minolta?

I've just seen about foo2lava driver on page 15 of this thread. I' ll give it a try, although there's not reference to magicolor 4650 I care of.

Posted: **Sat 04 Jul 2015, 09:03**

Konica Minolta magicolor 4650 worked. The steps I followed:

Got the PPD Driver for Linux from http://printer.konicaminolta.com/sup...up.htm#Drivers (bottom of the page)

Extracted the 4650LinuxPPDs/english/

Placed the M4650opn.ppd in /etc/cups/ppd (and M4650PX.ppd, too, but I didn't use it)

At http://localhost:631/admin added the printer by providing the M4650opn.ppd

Hi all,

I'm trying out Puppy and I really like it so far, but having the ability to print is a necessity to me -- and I just can't get it to work. Here's what I've been through so far:

- In Precise Puppy, using the printer/CUPS menu option in Settings opened up the web-based CUPS control panel. I tried to "find" my printer, but all it found was Print to PDF.
- I tried the latest Tahrpup release, and when I used the CUPS web-based control panel it actually found my HP Officejet 7410, and I was even able to print a test page. However, after a reboot of Tahrpup, the CUPS interface could not find my printer. I made sure that the printer was turned on, my wifi network was working, and I tried the "find printer" several times -- but it just couldn't be found.

Any help would really be appreciated... thanks.

Have you read the main post in this thread?

Under Things to Know, see #6 about firewalls.

Then see #5 about manually installing your printer with the AppSocket/JetDirect protocol.

Does your printer have a static IP address?

What HP printer driver package have you installed?

Thank you very much! Yes, your original post at the top of this thread was very helpful -- the problem was the firewall. After I rebooted without the firewall, the detection worked perfectly. Now, to answer your other questions: I didn't manually install any drivers, other than the fact that I selected one of the drivers that CUPS presented me with, although it wasn't an exact match for my Officejet 7410 (it was a slightly lower version of the Officejet).

I have been able to print just fine, but I haven't tried scanning yet -- perhaps for that I may need another driver, but I'll worry about that later.

Thanks again.
Harris

Excellent. If you really want to run a firewall, you may find that the printer still works after you turn it back on.

Scanning to networked HP units is definitely possible. The procedure is discussed in the How To document.

Hello

I am trying to install an HP 2540 all in one printer. Using this thread and the drivers for HP printers and scanners provided on the first page I can print using a usb connection. I have not tried scanning yet. The printer has both a wifi and an airprint connection. I would like to be able to connect to the printer via wifi. I have found a post here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 1c74c89171 where forum member BJF seems to have got fairly close and I have asked if he has managed to do it. One of the posts says

Have you tried to set up wireless the conventional way - have the printer join your network instead of you joining its?

I don't know how to do this. I would appreciate any instructions on how to do this or information on how to get the printer to connect via wifi. I am using Lucid 5287 which is the most up to date version. Its version of Cups is 1.4.3.

Regards,

Ken.

For info on HP Wireless Direct, read here.

To connect the printer to your own WiFi network (if possible), you will need to read the printer's documentation and use its control panel.

Posted: **Tue 06 Oct 2015, 18:52**

Hello rcrsn51

Thanks for your reply to both threads and your link. I have read the printers documentation on this and printed off "Use the Printer Wirelessly without a Router" This gives instructions similar to yours 1-9. I have followed these and I can now connect to the printer wirelessly. I have not followed the rest of the instructions as I am a bit confused by number 14.

14. Install the HPLIP printer driver as usual and run CUPS.

I have already installed the HPLIP driver and used CUPS to install the printer as a usb printer. Do I have to uninstall the driver and delete the usb connected version of the printer from CUPS before completing your instructions? I would like to have the option of using the printer via usb as well if that is possible.

Regards,

Ken.
