OK I have reloaded all the software and Cups is still working.

On the Toshiba Satellite A205.
I started the Precise Puppy 5.4.91 nopae without savefile.
Menu==>System==>CUPS manage printing WORKS
I defined my HP PhotoSmart 5200

Then I created the 2 GB save file.
Rebooted twice checking the CUPS manage printing each time.
Then Added .sfs for libreOffice 3.5.4_en_US.sfs
Rebooted twice checking the CUPS manage printing each time
I reloaded all the software listed at the top of page 9 in this post
one at a time checking CUPS before and after rebooting.

I loaded firefox-18.0.2 last and cups continues to work.

I do not know what caused the problem. This is my first use of ext4 savefile but maybe it was a bad block in a critical spot.

CUPS continues to work.

Thank for your help!!!
-Bruce.

It seems in cupsd.conf, some things are not defined, like /var/log/cups/ for logs, /usr/share/cups/ for data, /etc/cups/ssl/ and certificate, also ssl port, the temp dir , SystemGroup can be root,lp ? .

Barry,
I see that I forgot to remove from my frisbee-1.0 package the dependency on wag_profiles. Can you remove it from the 20130213 package added to the repo? Or, I have re-uploaded my copy but without the .pot file and without the dependency in the pet_specs file. You could take it from there:

Thank you for accepting it and network_tray-2.6.
Richard

EDIT: I see there are 2 minor issues with the display by frisbee. So, expect an update when I resolve them.

EDIT 2/20/2013 later in the day: I have corrected the above problems and uploaded the new version at the link above, as frisbee-1.0-20130220.

Hi Barry,

The output of dmesg will inevitably show a couple instances of this obtrusive line:

JFYI - hardinfo report for Precise 5.4.92 (Precise 5.5 beta)

All seems extremely good to this average user.

SeaMonkey 2.15.2 seems fast to load and overall resource usage seems low.

Luvly Puppy - many thanks.

Fresh manual frugal install to Fat32 USB2 stick with ext4 save & syslinux 4.04 boot.
Initial boot to desktop with working sound,wired ethernet and Nouveau driver at desired
1920x1080 resolution. The following pets were installed and tested:

No problems indicated in any of the logs and this version appears rock solid.
Report-video now working correctly with DVB-t capture & Nvidia graphics card listed.
Ethernet connection persists across re-boots.

Hi Barry,
My research results are conflicting and ambiguous. Upstream says it should be removed. A debian developer seconds that view. Ubuntu seems to have a view of their own. That's why I've asked you. So, your explanation would be much appreciated. But please, don't take this as something urgent. It is not.

5492 soars like Jonathon Livingston Seagull. I like the symbolism Smile

But I'm confused by the kernel switches???

31 second startup time to gui on a old p4 tower, and only 44.4 meg
(including Conky) used at idle. This with a fresh frugal install.

I plan to run this version on other machines today. No problems
so far. It's a bit annoying to wipe out the floppy icon by accidentally
clicking on it. Newbies won't know to restart x. I think little things
like this should be fixed before 5.5 final.
