I would like both to be available across the network, please.

I am guessing that I need to either delete and reinstall or change the settings for the 1000?

Ichanged the 1000's settings to local and received this unfriendly error:

I have checked and double-checked.

No Puppy firewalls are on either the host or client machines.

CUPS shows Shared on both machines.

The 1000 only shows on the host machine.

The 1000 repeats the two printer error when Test launched from the host machine.

Here is the CUPS heading for the 1000:

I unchecked Share on the client laptop & did Change Settingsthen checked that it was still set on the host computer - then did Change Settings there as well. No joy.

It is odd that the 1000 worked fine alone on the router but not in tandem with the P1006 on the router and the 1000 on the host.

I will try the CD-boot again, I seem to recall some sort of conflict where Puppy wanted to create a personal save file before a step could be taken.

Meanwhile, I am going to quickly delete the 1000 on the host computer and reboot - just in case there was something left over from the switch between the 1000 and the P1006 on the router and then the 1000 settings changed on the host computer (rather than deleted at that time and reinstalled).

I have to go into town for a few hours - so I will get back to this later and report the results.

1. On the HOST computer, unplug the DJ1000.

2. Shut down CUPS with

OK, the 1000 is working on the host and from a client.

P1006 is gone.

What steps should I follow to reinstall the P1006 without compromising the 1000, please?

I followed the prior steps to install the P1006 on the router again and GOOD NEWS!

Both printers are playing nicely together in CUPS! Laughing

Thanks again ... David

I trialled Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.8 on my PIII 560MHz and found* Firefox 14 ran too slow to be usable, so I´m staying with Exprimo 5.X.14 where Firefox 14 is a pleasure to use, scrolls smoothly, and I regularly surf with 30 tabs open.

In 5.X.14 I notice a segmentation fault in xerrs.log:
