Bonjour,
J'ai installé toutou linux sur un viel ordi (128Mo de RAM, disque dur 18Go)
Installation ok, tout fonctionne.
Petit problème, je n'arrive pas à installer l'imprimante : une sharp AR-M201. Elle n'est pas répertoriée dans cups.
J'ai trouvé un pilote en cherchant sur le web mais je ne sais pas l'installer comment faire ?
Merci de vos réponses,

It looks like your Sharp AR-M201 is a Postscript printer. So all it needs is a PPD file. Install the PET below.
Are you connected by USB or network?
If that doesn't work, try installing it as an HP Laserjet 5 or 6 printer.

It's connected by USB.
I had install the pet and it's ok to install the print but now I can't print anything.
What does I miss ?
(Sorry for my bad english)

According to
this, Postscript is an optional extra.
You can try installing it as a Laserjet 5, but that is optional too.
Sorry.

As you suggested, I try to install as HP laserjet. I have choice between Hplaser cups v.1.1 or hp laserjet PCL6. I try with both of them but it doesn't work to.
When I am in the localhost:631/printers > my print, there is an error message : "unable to send print file to printer : input/output error" or "printer fault"
What can I do ? Should I delete the gostscript print ?
Thank you for you help,

You could try installing it in a newer Puppy, like Lupu.
