While trying to install the Printer, through CUPS menu, I am getting Internet Quickpet program. ( CUPS linked to Internet Browser quick pet program) How to solve this typical problem. Also I would like to know how to update the program and install quickpet (Internet Browser) through Proxy server. ( in my office, there is no direct INTERNET connection)

I would change the tittle of your post to read 'In hat way can I use quickpet through a proxy'
This reflects your biggest problem.
And I don' think someone addressed this already.

I added the following lines to the /etc/wgetrc file

# Proxy Server
http_proxy = proxy.foo.bar:8080

# If Proxy Server requires authentication to access the Internet
proxy_user = <username>
proxy_password = <password>

This would be a nice feature to add to the Quickpet GUI.

In the Browser Installer window you have the option to use "generic browser" as default. In this case it is netsurf which will run CUPS.

This looks very promising and indeed I will look into it to add such functionality to Quickpet.

Thank you.

Cheers

EDIT: rameshiyer, I did not realise you started a new topic for this, bad etiquitte.

Please refrain from starting a new topic for something which you fear is a bug and post in the correct thread, thank you.

The added lines in /etc/wgetrc for using a Proxy Server also works for the Puppy Package Manager. Handy for downloading applications at your place of work when the only connection to the Internet is via a Proxy Server.

Dear Blue76Bay

Finally I have managed to establish internet connection through proxy. Thank you very much. I have provided following proxy details in wgetrc
http_proxy=http://200.200.200.5:6588/
ftp_proxy=http://200.200.200.5:6588/
proxy-user = xxx
proxy-password = xxxxxx

# If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
use_proxy = on

Now I am able to use quickpet. Thank you once again.
