Downloaded the beta, since I was playing with an old Thinkpad 600E/ 162M Ram & 400 MHz PII Processor. Promises sound great. Stuck in a old 20 GB harddisk. Had to go through the procedure of installing XP first, luckily I have an Nlited version that installs without all the usual hassle. Then a 5...

Sounds like something ghostscript to me, doesn't Puppy pass on ps/pdf files to cups via ghostscript? I guess that's also where the "permission denied" error kicks in. I have never set up a network printer, but you need Samba for this, don't you? Have you tried the Samba .pet-package from t...

Congratulations, you've done it. It's basically the same procedure I have described above, only you unpack directly to the relevant directories. Advantage of "my method" (sounds rather presumptious) is you can cleanly uninstall the .pet packages, in case sth goes wrong & messes up your...

Don't think there's any fault with the debian packages, have used them for well over 2 years with K*'n*t*x, my main distro, never a problem. I guess it has something to do with running everything as root in Puppy, which Cups doesn't seem to like, so printjobs get stuck somewhere on the way to the sp...

Printer administration like choosing paper type etc. works from the web interface of course. Printing from ...

Hi out there, since Puppy 4.1 finally solved a lot of wlan USB stick problems I had with it before, I gave it another go. This time my printer caused serious trouble, a Canon i865, aka Pixus i860 (only difference is you can't print CD labels with the i860). This is a great printer, especially if you...

Hi friendly dogs out there, I've had plenty of problems with winmodems in various laptops, and one bugger I just couldn't get to work under any flavour of Linux is the internal Lucent modem built into several older IBM notebooks, 11c1:0448. So I finally gave up trying & bought an inexpensive use...

Hi, I'm new on this forum. No luck so far with the smartlink softmodem in my samsung. Followed the procedures suggested above, modem is recognized, get to the point where the thing dials out, but then it breaks off & dials again, saying "waiting for carrier", and, almost immediately af...
