(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello
I have tahr605 frugal installed on a dell vostro 1320, 2.2ghz,2gb ram. I am trying to add printer drivers but the cups site (http:/localhost:631) is giving me an error of, 500 internal server error. I am trying to install a dell 3000cn and a sharp ar-m201. Is this the right way or has cups site moved.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure cups is running?

try in a terminal

if it's not running, try

If you look here, you'll see that is very common problem.

I ended changing for another Puppy. Currently using LxPupSC, CUPS works fine.

Saludos.

try

Code: Select all

ps -auxw | grep cups

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/cups start

This is what I got.
root# ps -auxw | grep cups
root 6504 0.0 0.0 6376 2856 ? Ss 05:47 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
root 10986 0.0 0.0 4136 800 pts/1 S+ 05:51 0:00 grep cups
root# /etc/init.d/cups start
cups: started scheduler.
I do still get server error though.

Thanks. I will try other puppies that I have but I think it is too complex for me.

Hello
Cups works fine on the same laptop but with tahr64 605 and version 1.7.5, the cups on the 32 bit tahr has 1.4.8 and does not.
How can I upgrade to 1.7.5.

The current version of cups is:
Package: cups (1.7.2-0ubuntu1.8)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/cups
The procedure is simple and straightforward - download and install it together with its dependencies. Have a look at that red dot depends list in the above link - the list seems to be huge but not all of them are needed.

However, you should first upgrade your glibc - did you do that? That thread is marked solved:

That is well beyond my capabilities.

Give me some time and I'll post a little howto on upgrading Puppy packages using Debian/Ubuntu repositories.
