This cup's install .pup dosen't seem to do anything for me...! , What was suppose to happen after it opened the default browser..? The browser launches , And it shows http://localhost:/631 in the title bar but i get an error message in the middle stating:
If i try the command:
nothing happens.. But it seems as though the hp-toolbox.py exists in my
And my printer still dosen't show up in the printer wizard... So what's going on here...?? Last time i checked you didn't need to be on the internet to access http://localhost:/631 ...

My guess is that you don't have enough space left in your pup_save file so not all of CUPS got installed. You might reboot with "puppy pfix=ram" from CD and rename your pup_save file (so you have a safe backup of it), then create a new pup_save file to test the CUPS dotpup on. See if it works then.
The browser is not trying to access the internet - it is trying to connect to the CUPS printer web interface in your PC, but it can't find it because something went wrong with the installation.

How much space do i need to have in the puppy save file...?? Mine is 768mb's if i'm not mistaken , And i had to resize my partition from 1 GB to 1.5 GB.. I don't really have much of anything installed or saved up in my puppy system because it dosen't have internet access ( i mean , what would be the point - right..? ) I just don't understand how i Don't have enough space..?

As I wrote, that was just a guess as to why you had a problem installing CUPS. As far as I remember that is the only problem anyone has had with the dotpup before. I really don't know what could be wrong. Perhaps someone else reading this thread may have a clue...? _________________ Testing Puppy since v0.9.2 - my desktop OS since v1.0.7 Running SlaxerPup-4.12 - Puppy with a Slackware 12.2 heart |

Try http://localhost:631 You do not need the "/" prior to 631 _________________ trapster Maine, USA Asus eeepc 1005HA PU1X-BK Frugal install:Puppeee4.31 + 1.0, Puppy4.10 + Lupu52 Currently using Puppeee-1.0 AND lupu52 w/ fluxbox |

Thanks, trapster, for catching that 
Strange though, because the CUPS dotpup doesn't add the "/"... _________________ Testing Puppy since v0.9.2 - my desktop OS since v1.0.7 Running SlaxerPup-4.12 - Puppy with a Slackware 12.2 heart |

Oh did i get that wrong..? 
I wasn't for sure if i was remembering that correctly , I was almost certain i remembered seeing a "/" at the end there in the title bar... I'll try it again here soon... _________________ Puppy is Awesome..!!!! |

I've used CUPS before, but have forgotten the proper syntax. I have a network shared printer running at home off a Windows XP Pro SP2 computer. - I choose "Unknown Network Device (smb)" in the Admin area. - I enter this for Device URI: smb://anonymous:anonymous//PCNAME/SHARENAME Nothing happens when I click on Print Test Page. Am I entering something wrong in the Device URI box? |

Now I don't know if this helped or not but I read some things online that your smb.conf file has to be edited to point to your home workgroup so I edited it to use "HOME" as that's my Windows Workgroup name. I still can't get CUPS to work, but now LinNeighborhood sees the Workgroup and systems on there. |

I still cannot get this thing to work.. I have some 464.58 mb's of free space in the puppy partition , The printer is plugged in during install , and:
does in fact show up in the browser when it is launched , Why dosen't it work...?? I even tried installing it in a puppy live session , And it still wouldn't work...
Is the message i see ( even in the live session )... _________________ Puppy is Awesome..!!!! |

i don't know if this is your problem, but i seem to remember that you must use the exact address that is in the config file ... so if it is configured to allow 127.0.0.1 and you use localhost, it will not work does http://127.0.0.1:631 work? or maybe http://127.0.0.1:631/ |

Nope..! , Still no luck here..., I still get the error... Has anybody at all had this trouble..?? Does this dot.pup actually work correctly..?? I'm starting to wonder if the pup is corrupt or something.. ( the download ) _________________ Puppy is Awesome..!!!! |

I believe the answer is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=15094 I fought this same battle for two weeks, then installed smbspool as per the post and CUPS immediately began working. YMMV, but it worked for me. |
