(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I have an HP 3720 on my wifi network but my laptop (running Xenialpup on the hard drive) can't connect. When I click on systems, Cups Manage Printing then Manage Printers and Printing Tasks, I get an Abiword doc called Cups 2.1.3 (the links on this doc also don't work). I think my system thinks the default printer is CUPS-PDF.
How do I get rid of this so I am able to get the CUPS web page that allows me to search for and select my network printer?

What if you run cups_shell? Furthermore, review the second half of this post.

G'day mcduling,

Reads like you have Abiword set as your default html viewer - to set up CUPS for a printer, a browser is required to access the localhost via an html file (I'm guessing this, based on my own problems setting up a wifi-networked printer in all my Pups).

Open your Default Applications Chooser in the 'Set Up Menu' and see what is set as your html viewer. If it's Abiword, try re-setting this to a browser (Seamonkey?) then run the CUPS setup in the Menu.

I kinda thought -- nevermind...
