Pizzapup 3.0 RC1 -- can't setup printing

#1 Post by paulh177 »

If I launch the printer wizard it steps me through the prcoess without error.
After the final prompt which details what will happen next and what I need to do when the pdq print manager runs, nothing else happens -- i.e. pdq doesn't run.
If I select xpdq from the setup menu, it doesn't run either.

this is on an Acer 5610WLMi/1024MB RAM/80GB HDD/2300 Core Duo with HP DeskJet 3820 USB printer

I myself cannot help you, as I know nada about printing in Linux. One thing that would help others a little is knowing if the plain vanilla Puppy 2.12 has the same problem. Nothing I did should have affected printing though.

Same problem on Piizzapup 3.0.1 as to the Printer Wizard & xpdq from the menu.

I wasn't able to get XPDQ working with my printer either (EPSON Stylus RX420). CUPS was the solution for me.
