That shouldn't happen. I suspect that you have some kind of corruption on your system that is causing the problem.

Either do a fresh install or boot using "puppy pfix=ram". Install the drivers again.

What are the exact names of the pets you used?

Are you using the printer in USB or in wireless mode?

after installing all the files in the first post in this thread i installed them in reverse order...all of them from top to bottom.... then i tried xsane and voila it scanned for the first time with my device then i followed the normal cups add printer procedure and after selecting my USB printer it automatically gave me the preferred driver ...yeah and with just clicks on the mouse i printed test page and voila encore it printed...
