(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello puppy friends,

Today I am working on geting precise to print. I ran cups and every thing went fine.
Computer found my hp officejet 4315 All in one in a snap. Very nice. I tried to
print something. Nothing happened. However, checking cups, precise says
that it did print.

I tried looking in the Puppy package mangager for a pet that may help. All the
ones that I think might work refuse to download.

So I'm stuck.

Any ideas.


Thanks for helping me out.

Pete

Have you installed an HP printer driver PET?

If not, what printer model did you select in CUPS?

rcrsn51: Thank you for coming to my aid.

I used he diver for hp office jet 5105 gutenprinter 5.2.8 pre1
This is also the driver for hp office jet 725.

Precise does not have a pet for hp printers.

Ubuntu drivers refuse to download.

I am using retroprecise if that makes difference.

Read here for information about Puppy printing.

Then get the hplip_print-3.12.10a.pet at the end of the post.

You will need to delete your current printer in CUPS, then rediscover it.

rcrsn51:

Thank you very much for answering my question.
Your link led to your wonderful pets and to your great explination of how to get
our printers running.

You have gone to a lot work to keep your pets and your forum inforation up to
date and relivant to current puppies.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

Pete

Glad to help.

hi anikin

you need to mount the iso 'before' opening the remaster program

faults in precise5.4.3

i have 2 faults. i set the correct keyboard to the presario for my compaq prasero laptop. but the function key is reversed so i cant type properly.

2nd cant log as user spot in terminal. and i cant run apps as spot. when i try i get permission denied. it is needed to run chromium browser.

any ideas would help.

edit: found problem was first run keyboard setup had number lock selected.

I just installed precise puppy 5.4.3 in virtualbox and I've got one big problem right off. I can't change the screen resolution using the xorg video wizard. I go through the process,click on 1024 x 768, press ok twice, the screen flashes like it's changing but then goes immediately back to the default resolution of 1600 x 1200. I can just barely read what i'm typing right now so this is a bit of a problem.

EDIT: Ok i got the resolution to change by using the full xorg wizard in the video wizard and going through the setup using the vesa driver. Figured I'd let yall know in case someone else has the same issue.

I vaguely recall reading that someone had hinted at a 64-bit version of Precise that might be simmering on a back burner somewhere.

This is to encourage that development, either in Barry's or Pemasu's version.

Fatdog 64 is probably the canonical 64-bit option, but it's Slackware based rather than being a upup. More importantly (to me anyway; I realize mine is a minority opinion) it no longer has integral support for a full installation, though a manual full installation is possible.

Lighthouse 64 is another option for wide processors. It's a good puplet, IMO. I tried the 32 bit version a while back, and though didn't adopt it then, that's where I fell in love with Frisbee. Alas, with the health issues its developer faces, I'm concerned about its future (to say nothing of Tazoc's). We all hope for a positive outcome in this matter.

As I've managed to stumble into a 64-bit machine I'm currently looking into light distributions with 64-bit support, to take full advantage of it. Although I prefer a full installation, I admire many other elements of the Puppy "philosophy" and find Precise more interesting than, say, Snow Linux and Crunchbang.

Alas, I don't have the chops (yet) to develop my own 64-bit puplet, and I'm hoping that a 64-bit Precise Puppy variant will surface soon.

Anyone else have interests along those lines? Maybe if enough of us chime in, it will further encourage development.

Thanks again for all the hard work that's gone into Puppy!

This is a great puppy build. reminds me of the early upup and lucid puppy. it will be great to see how Precise works out in the long run and the ubuntu apps are compiled into pets and sfs like happened in lucid. then things will be great.

i do think that an xfce pet or sfs would be good idea for Puppy linux woither precise or slacko etc. saluki is a great puppy version with xfce. shame it cant run chromium past version 12.

Installed Slacko 533 and Retro Precise 543 on SDHC 4Giga card via Yumi.

Reporting difference in screen look.
RetroPrecise has moved screen from monitor to right cca 15 pixels - unadjusted.
( Black vertical strip on left side of monitor )

Slacko is centered OK - adjusted correctly.

Hello, all.

The original Puppy Precise 5.4.3 has been removed from both the ibilio
and nluug repositories. However, remastered versions of Precise Puppy
5.4.3 can still be found at:

* http://www.canbike.ca/off-topic/linux/p ... 5-4-3.html
(Puppy Precise 5.4.3 "Can Bike"; many, many thanks to the enthusiast,
whoever he may be!)

and at

* https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0uge_i ... ZILWc/edit
(This is jrb's barbones 5.4.3, discussed at
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83841)

As far as I could tell, Puppy Precise 5.4.3 is not in ally's PuppyLinux
Internet Archive list at
http://archive.org/search.php?query=puppylinux

Why originals and even copies of good Puppies get scrapped, I will never
understand...

One of the all time best is Gray's Precise NOP 5.4.3, which I have adapted and used exclusively since it appeared.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82177
And of course it's got Xfce built in.
I've seen nothing better for my purposes.

Thanks, Henry.

Good to know all is not lost...

Incidentally, the devx for 5.4.3 can be found in the Internet Archive even if
the puppy itself is not:

Because Ibiblio (and the mirrors) only provide a limited amount of space...... when the repo is full something has to go.

I have all official Puppy iso releases archived (from 4.0 onward) so copies do exist.Don't think I missed any.....

Would you have an URL for those little beauties, kind sir?
