So is the nVidia pet labeled "510 only" also good for 511?

How much begging would I need to do to get "kill" on the right mouse click?

Great job on FD-64, thanks for all the hard work!

I installed the hpijs_print and hplip_scan pets today. I am glad to say my printer works great. This is an HP PSC 1200 series. The scanner didn't fare so well. I received an error during device I/O. But I am very happy to have a printer. Thanks

Yes, 511 is bugfix to 510 (mainly dhcpcd issues but also other small fixes - can't remember the details now). Everything else it the same.

:lol: you will need to explain the feature first. I don't get what you mean. Perhaps we can do it just by tweaking the window manager configuration.

You're much welcome.

Thanks to rcrsn51 for the pets :)

Thanks for the feedback. I have tested these packages successfully in 511 on both a Deskjet and a Photosmart. So I don't know why a PSC would behave differently. I'm assuming that scanning worked with a 32-bit Puppy? Which HP package did you use there?

Sorry about the double post. I meant to put that in the Fatdog64-511 thread. I haven't tried the scanner in 32 bit Puppy, but I will.
Thanks for these drivers rcrsn51. I appreciate that a lot to have a printer on here.

I tried the scanner on Puppy 520 and Linux Mint 8. In both cases I received the same error.
Failed to open hpaio:/usb/psc_1200series

So I plugged this in to a Windows XP machine and found out that scanner does work in there.

I don't know, maybe I am setting this up wrong in Linux. I thought to use xsane for this. Thanks again for these printer drivers.

On regular 32 bit puppy there is a feature that comes up when you right click called "kill" which will "kill" any program at which you happen to aim the pointer.

On other (non-puppy) distros I make a taskbar link to "kill" with a skull and crossbones icon.

Kill is very useful for terminating misbehaving software, like when a browser gets hung. One click and it the problem is gone instantly.

Having kill available as a right click option is very handy, even better than having a cute skull and crossbones shortcut.

Thanks very much for your time an effort!

Thanks for Fatdog

I just got my first dual-core laptop, and knew there was a Puppy called Fatdog64 just for me. Thanks for making this!!!

First impressions... love it.

I can see I have a lot to learn though. I'm going to have to read this thread with care. Tried to download Firefox and it didn't. Well, it's lightning fast, and I can get by with Seamonkey for a while.

Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be back with questions :P
