Puppy - 5.2.8 on Compaq laptop AMD 64 - 120G disk, 1G ram
CUPS 1.4.3
root is only user.
downloaded hplip_scan-3.12.9 pet
hplip-3.12.9 folder in Downloads under root, ppd files are gzipped.
Cannot get anything to print to:
lpd://192.168.1.240/ps-4acc63-p1 - a D-Link printserver with a parallel port to HP Laserjet 1320.
I believe I am using the same cconfig that my Ubuntu 11.10 systems are using which works... one with Foomatic and the other with hpcups.
Found 'Filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups' for the printer not available, no such file or directory? in error log?
Probably missing something but cannot suss it out at the moment...
Thanks,

Re: HP 1320 and printserver
That's the scanner package. You want the printer package - hplip_print-3.12.9 petMAB wrote:downloaded hplip_scan-3.12.9 pet
Please explain. What is this? Where did you get it? What have you done with it?hplip-3.12.9 folder in Downloads under root, ppd files are gzipped.
Puppy already has a Gutenprint driver for the Laserjet 1320, so you don't need to install an HPLIP package. Did you try it?
What printer installation procedure have you used?
Solved
Hi,
I had downloaded the .run version of this file while getting confused perusing the various posts... It did not install cleanly the first time since I was missing python. Installed python etc. and re-ran.
Discombobulated everything and got hplis and foo from your instructions. Installed those and now have printer working with hpcups.
Unfortunately though it still only works from a hard wire on the LAN, cannot get the laptop to 'see' the printserver over the wireless even though Internet access works (writing this from the laptop). I will have to delve into my router manual. Applied firewall fix mentioned in another thread.
Thanks muchly,
Martin Booker

Re: Solved
Here is a good general rule for setting up printers in Puppy. Only use PETs that you get from the forum. They have been built and tested specifically for Puppy.MAB wrote:I had downloaded the .run version of this file while getting confused perusing the various posts...
