Relative noob to Puppy, liking things, but now down a rabbit hole trying to print. Thought I had the HP driver loaded and thought I printed something. Doesn't print now. Went to the HP web site and followed the install HPLIP instructions. http://hplipopensource.com/node/332#initial Error: "Python" not found. Oh. No Python on Puppy. Tried compiling Python from source. Error: "No C Compiler Found." Oh. No C compiler on Puppy. Found instructions on loading devx_431.sfs to an HD install. http://www.puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm Error upon step 1: "Failed Mounting or Unmounting." Ugh. I need to print! |

What model printer do you have? What Puppy version do you have? What printer driver did you originally try? |

What a coincidence! I have this printer too. Read here for details on how to upgrade your CUPS to 1.3.11. Then install the HP printer/scanner drivers. They work 100% for me. |

Fantastic! I chose HP because of Linux support - maybe not such a coincidence? 
Okay, wall #1: I ran the pet, but got no dialog box with options. It just told me it was installed. When I checked the version, however, it said 1.1.23. What to do? |

I just went to Patriot's download site using Puppy 4.3.1 and got his cups-1.3.11-i486.pet. I installed it and got the menu of options. So I don't know why it didn't work for you. All I can suggest is that you boot off the Live CD using the "puppy pfix=ram" option and try it again. |

I got it working. *yeah baby* I just tried downloading Patriot's pet again and it gave me the dialog box this time. Maybe I did something funky last time, I don't know. So far Puppy has been an awesome OS - and at least half of what makes an awesome open OS is the community support like what you guys have done for me here. Cheers. |
