Once again, *which* Pup?

Hint: You can add "Tahr 6.0.5" to your :wink: signature.

Here, take a look >> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42533

:mrgreen: Bill doesn't like to repeat himself nor waste his breath.

Yeah Len, let's have some feedback on whether you were able to get your printer working with Bill's direction..

You asked for help, and got it, then replied back but didn't say if it actually helped or not. This happens sometimes and it is very annoying every time it does. The people trying to help you need feedback. otherwise they feel they're wasting their time.

Give me a break.
Semme replied to me at 16:10.
I thanked him at 16:32.
You replied with your "wow" at 16:50.

Less than an hour.
You are criticizing me for not attempting the fix in less than an hour???

I thanked him for the reply quickly to be courteous.

Your sarcasm was unwarranted.

Okay, and thanks for at least replying to Semme's attempt to help. I'd say you should have said then that it would be a while before you could try the solution he provided. :)

OK, I installed debbi.
Then I downloaded the 2 files from the Brother website.

Followed the above procedure and just printed my first document!

Thanks guys!

Terrific Len! Good to see another Pup novice take the initiative and get the job done.

So many others that show up here think we should show up @ their home and do the work for'em! :shock::D:wink:
