WiFi Light Flashing :(

I installed Puppy Tahrpup 6.0 CE PAE version on a Dell Latitude D560 laptop and puppy installed and worked to perfection as usual, but the wifi light will not stop flashing. I read this help http://www.tomdesair.com/blog/2012/04/stop-the-blinking-wireless-led-in-linux/ and it sounds like the right s...

WinUSB pet please

Hello everyone, I am trying to install WinUSB on Lucid Puppy 528.005, without much luck. The program is excellent at burning windows ISO's to USB for installation. Tried running the windows .exe in Wine 1.3.6 and not a thing happened. EXE file found here: http://download.cnet.com/WinUSB-Maker/3000-2...

Installation problems Netis WF-2110

Greetings everyone. I bought a netis WF-2110 150Mbps Wireless-N Mini USB Adapter for my mom's computer running Puppy Lucid 5.2.8.

Belkin USB WNA3100

I'm trying to use the windows drivers to get this to work, but no luck thus far. Has anyone ever gotten a Belkin USB3100 wireless card to work with Lucid 5.8.2?

Busy Bee Using Adobe AIR Works!

Thanks TheAsterisk! and 666philb ! I tried the download link from 666, but it didn't seem to want to connect and download. (though I am grateful for the .pet time and effort ) I ended up going back to the original post from 666 and following the instructions there. That worked well and the program l...

Adobe AIR Installation?

I use a program called BusyBee Invoicing and it does run on linux, but requires Adobe AIR to run. The Adobe website seems to provide some help for installing on Ubuntu, but notes that AIR has been discontinued development for Linux. I wanted to know if anyone has installed AIR, has any advice about ...

My desktop icons are gone!

I started up Puppy (newest release) and most of the desktop icons were gone, replaced by a generic icon. The connect and drive icon's are still there, so are the trashcan, zip, and lock. I'm not sure what happened, but even when I upgraded Puppy from the disk and selected an new icon theme only the ...

Thank you so much for your help and effort though, if I find it to be something simple I will let you know. I"m going to recheck the connections and try again.

If that doesn't work, I'll check the form for compatible printers and try one of those off ebay.

All the errors are gone, and says the job is completed...however the printer still stands silent.

I have checked the cables, they are in place.

I have checked the printer in windoze and it prints.

What in the world do you make of that??

I downloaded the lz11-v2-1.2.tar.gz file from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/lz11/ When I unziped it and ran the lz11.install from the terminal I got this. http://www.tcgonline....

Lexmark Z11...foomatic-rip failed

I started my mother out on Wary Puppy 5.1.2 on an old eMachines eTower 600is (it's her first computer, so puppy is her first OS :) ) Got her online, email, and then I went to install an older Lexmark Z11 printer (on the LPT#1 parallel port). Downloaded the .ppd file from online (Lexmark-Z11-lz11-V2....

Lexmark x5650 (RESOLVED)

Thanks to rcrsn51 my Lexmark x5650 is now a printer instead of a paperweight. If you have the same issue go here for the driver.

Thanks again rcrsn51!

lexmark x5650 printer or paperweight

I am making an honest effort to replace windoze altogether with Puppy, but a lot of everyday computing needs keep getting in the way. Like the fact I need a printer and one I don't have to switch OS's to print a page with. I have a Lexmark Z5650 and am running Lucid Puppy (5.1). CUPS ignores it comp...
