I have tried CUPS wizard (in frugal LUPU 528). My HP Deskjet is connected by cable to a Windows PC (call it PC1). Puppy is on a second PC (call it PC2). PC2 is networked to PC1. When I print from PC2 in Windows mode (i.e not in frugal Puppy), it accesses PC1 and prints. However, when I am using Puppy on PC2, and CUPS, I can't access the printer. I can't figure out how to connect to PC1, which runs Vista, so that it will pass my file on to its printer. I have the IP address of PC2, its full name, and the make of the printer. Any help would be appreciated. _________________ "It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." - Voltaire |

Have you read the post directly above this one titled How to Install Your Printer/Scanner in Puppy? It contains the section titled Connecting to a Windows Shared Printer. You will install the printer in PC2 using the smb: protocol. If you can't get it working, please report back. |

Thanks for your reply, but I didn't understand what you meant by the post"above this one". _________________ "It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." - Voltaire |
