rocar,

you don't mention which version of puppy you're using. This detail may me relevant as some pupversions come with cups already installed, whereas with other versions, cups is an external package.

The openprinting site, for your printer, here, lists your printer as working perfectly. You've got the choice of the splix driver, or the gutenberg gdi .ppd file. As the former needs compiling, (or you can try an already compiled version if you google, or if you ask someone might compile for you), why not try downloading the gutenberg 2010-gdi.ppd & save this to /usr/share/cups/model directory, and see whether you can use the cups web printer interface to choose this as your printer.

Why not make the jump to Puppy 4? It has CUPS built in.

Hi Rocar,

Well you can either do as rcrsn51 suggests & try the latest pupversion, or if you want to continue with pup2.13, then the simplest method is to download the .ppd file above, and save this to /root, then download & install Pakt's cups .pup(19Mbytes) from here, then follow the steps to install the printer as the default.

Installing the printer is also fairly intuitive.

Unfortunately not use version 4 of PUPPYLINUX
I have an Italian version 2.13.
