Hi dewdrop,

yeah i was following the instructions step-by-step and the download was just failing all the time - no idea why - so off I went and downloaded it myself.

I also went through the espgs install script, which I believe also downloads from that site, and I didn't have any problems with that. Just the cups package download <<shrug>>

Printing with CUPS (Finally Here)

I'm just adding the thread address of a new effort by pakt (Paul) as he has asked that people test his efforts as they try getting their printers to work.

pakt's thread address is:

http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9876

Please give it a try and report your results to that thread so that others can benefit from your efforts.

Hi bachikho,

I did a search of the Forum using the words "printing and lan" and came up with a possible solution for your question.

Please go to this thread/post and review it ... hopefully, you will find your answer there.

http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.p ... 43&start=0

If this information doesn't work, I suggest you start a new thread and giving it a title something like .... How do I print with (name your printer) and local area network?

You might also review this CUPS printing thread for help:

Good Luck
