Nothing happens. Just another blank line with a command prompt.

Run PeasyPort and scan 192.168.2.1 for ports 631, 9100,9101 and 9102.Cecil wrote:IP Address 192.168.2.1
Was this connected via the router? I found an Ubuntu forum that reported the same problem as you. There was no solution.It should be noted that the printer (along with its scanner function) worked fine when trying out Ubuntu.
I suspect that the system driving the USB ports on your router is not Linux-compatible.Cecil wrote:The printer worked with Ubuntu when connected to the computer but not when connected to the router.
I have one more suggestion. In Windows, open the properties of your printer and look for the details of its network connection - the port, queue, etc. They may provide some clues about how to do it in Puppy.
I think it's a dead duck. My daughter's Windows 7 laptop could only connect with the networked printer after installing the Belkin software from the install CD. Otherwise, when I boot into Windows XP on my computer, the networked printer is not identified. I am sure if I installed the Belkin software it would be recognized but I rarely boot into Windows XP anymore since the Puppy is so much faster. I greatly appreciate the help I received here because if I need to print, at least I know I can do it now by directly plugging the printer into my computer. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something simple that would've allowed me to use the printer when networked. Thanks again!
