Used the printer wizard to open CUPS which correctly identified the 2 printers on my Ubuntu server. Can print a test page fine - from CUPS. However:

1. I can't change anything (eg attempting to change the default printer - and doing other things - gets a "403: Forbidden" error)
2. Most apps, apart from Seamonkey, are unaware of the printers which CUPS has found.

I get a sense from browsing the forums that this is a known problem, but I can't find it definitively summarised anywhere. Seems odd; printing is so fundamental I would have expected it to simply work.

Any thoughts, suggestions, help would be most welcome.

another jamesbond!
Yes, CUPS seems to be fairly broken in Puppy 3.x, but I'm not certain of the details of dealing with that error. If you want a Puppy with a working CUPS out of the box, I think you get 2.17.1, otherwise I think the best thing to do is probably to install the (large!) CUPS dotpup. (or maybe use the .pet from 2.17?).

So it would seem. Strange, I'm not getting the opportunity to log in - but others are. Then again I'm presumably logged in to localhost where this CUPS is running - but in that case why the 403 error?

Ah well, perhaps 4.x series will fix it all. Thanks for the words of sympathy at least!
