Careful....!
At least in Wary 511 this fix causes gdmap to crash.
This instruction, however, works in Wary without affecting gdmap:
rcrsn51:

Code:
PUPPY_LINUX=`uname -a | grep -ic puppy`
Change "puppy" to the new hostname. Don't accidentally delete the final back-tick character. |

I'm not sure why the code was written that way. It appears to have something to do with remote printing. |
On Puppy Lucid 5.25 ( Macpup 5.25 ) this solution solve the problem.
I even made It better...
dosn't just change your user name to your current but change it to the letter "1"... so no matter what's your puppy user name - it will work always.
so you need to have this line look like this:
| Code: | | PUPPY_LINUX=`uname -a | grep -ic 1` |
after the change, save, and restartX.
that's it.

I just wanted to let you know that you are a life-saving genius. I have never been able to get the CUPS PDF to work with any Puppy install I have ever done, and this is both the reason and the fix. Oh to be able to print to PDF without having to do a Print to File thing. Happiness.

Why did you change the host name in the first place?
