On the laptop where I had previously attempted to use CUPS (via Fluppy 013 with the P1006 printer) I ran the new PET.

I then tried a Test Print and did not get the error, it displayed that it was printing, then that disappeared and reappeared in the list of completed print jobs - the problem is - the printer never responded at all.

I power-cycled the printer in case there was debris in the buffer, no joy.

I rebooted and tried again, same result.

I then applied the PET to my Netbook, on which CUPS had not previously been used.

I used Find New Printers and accepted all of the defaults.

Same results when I attempted a Test Print.

WDYT?

I would go back to the version of printer-scanner-x.sfs that worked.

Edit. Jemimah's foo2xxx package is incomplete. It's missing the firmware download files required by your printer. Get the new version here.

Just tried 02 and 3 on both machines - no joy.

It's late here, will look for other print SFS's to try tomorrow.

Ahhh, the endless joy of CUPS ...

See my previous message.

I found a copy of printer-scanner-3.sfs. It didn't have the firmware download files either. Has your P1006 ever worked in Fluppy?

Yes, I believe so, but I don't recall when.

My slight uncertainty is that I have one of the several PC's here still on dpup (haven't gotten around to upgrade it) and that could have been where the P1006 worked then stopped working - but I am pretty sure I recall thanking Jemimah for Fluppy and a working CUPS with the P1006.

I have a couple projects to attend to this morning - then will either try to find my post in the archives where I described it working then breaking - or will look for 4.SFS and try it (since 02 and 3 didn't work). Was there an initial un-numbered SFS?

Please read my previous post where I recommend the correct foo2xxx package to use. Tracking down old printer-scanner.sfs files won't solve anything.

I am sorry, somehow I missed that! Sad

Do I need to uninstall anything or will your fooxxx PET overwrite the old stuff?

Just install it.

Make sure that you still have the foomatic-filters-4.0.4-i486.pet installed from the previous page.

To Jemimah or anybody that can help with Pwidgets.

I use Fluppy 13 on my Acer D250
and it fails to get Analog clock or any of them to show up on the screen when I make use of theme "Love" on background?

What could I be doing wrong? Sure I should test with other backgrounds.
I go do it now.

Edit that did not do it. It says one should use Rox Desktop and that is what I have that was what was set up as default it seems. But Okay I reboot and maybe that is needed.
