Thank you rcrsn51 . It works perfectly. Have you actually done this in Ubuntu? If so, locate the PPD file and post it here. Look in the folder /etc/cups/ppd. Yes, actually in LinuxMint10. I no longer have that installatiion but when I reinstall it soon I will try to remember to post the PPD file the...

Canon MP250: How to add fast greyscale option? (Solved)

The pet file for the MP250 works great and I have the printer running. However, the only print option is RGB at 600dpi. I want to add a fast greyscale option as can be done quickly and easily in Ubuntu. http://harbhag.wordpress.com/2010/07/03/enable-grayscale-printing-in-canon-pixma-mp250-series-on-...

CUPS Repaired in Puppy Linux 5.2 by accident.

For the last few weeks I've been able to bring up only the home page for my cups configuration in PuppyLinux 5.2. When I tried to go to, say, Printers, I would get a web page error. When researching this problem I read that it could be due to an installation causing root vs. account conflict. Anyway...

Cups 1.4.3 in Lupu 5.2 Broken after Once Working

I'm using a frugal install of Lupu-5.2 and a Canon Pixma MP150 printer/scanner. A few weeks ago the printer was working and now it is not. I was very pleased with the ease of the setup originally. I can bring up the Cups 1.4.3 home page but when I click on, say Jobs, I get 500 Internal Server Error ...

Qfaxreader in PuppyLinux 5.2

In 5.2 when running Qfaxreader in Terminal the process stops in error condition saying that libpng.so.3 cannot be found. Note that libpng12.so is the new replacement for libpng.so.3 and the Qfaxreader version above requires the older link. I got it to work by creating a link for libpng12.so but rena...

Puppy 5.2 rightclick on taskbar window icon missing options

In Puppy 5.2 the rightclick menu on taskbar window icons is missing some traditional and useful options such as SendTo (desktop#) and Kill.

Is there an alternative or a way of adding especially SendTo (desktop#) and Kill?

Hi CatDude and thanks. It works perfectly for me this way too. I had always done it that way successfully with former versions and it is nice to have this working now.

Typo Correction: Lucid 5.1.1.

Yes, in Impress: Tools/Options: the JRE box is checked but I can't fill in the Form Field properly. I tried adding various Java folders but to no avail.

Otherwise OOo works very nicely in the SFS 3.2.0 version, including Impress except for the JRE feature lacking.

I had actually looked there a few days ago and for some reason did not see the Quickpet apps among the Pet apps, but since reading your post I went back, took another look, and found them.

Hi playdayz, I did not try the native PDF printer until after installing Foxit via Quickpet. From other posts about the problem I gather that it exists with or without Foxit. I first noticed the problem when I tried to print a PDF copy of an online receipt from a web page in the Seamonkey browser. I...

Configuring a working PDF printer in Lucid and 4.2.1

Here is what I did to configure a working PDF printer which for me is an essential feature. Via menu items: Menu/Setup/CupsPrinterWizard/Administration/FindNewPrinters Even though there is the native non-working pdf printer, the Wizard will find a new pdf printer. Select that and advance to the next...

What about external serial and usb modems with later and the latest kernel in Puppy? I seem to remember reading that the serial ones just depend on the serial configuration and don't depend on a kernel module. Perhaps that would be the same with the usb ones too. I donated my old serial modems to my...

Thanks Sigmund. After my posting above and before your response post. I found the 3.2.3 and oddly enough, it behaved with the same faults and errors as the 3.1.2.
