Have I missed something? Has everyone given up on supporting RasberryPi with a newer version of Puppy? When Barry was so excited about it a couple of years ago I ran out and bought two of them. I am using one as a media center. The other I would like to use with a version of Puppy that supports a ...

The pc I would like to use is an old Dell Inspiron 2100 with 128mb ram, a Pentium 3 at 696.96mhz. It can't handle Firefox or Chrome and Pandora doesn't like any of the other Puppy browsers I have tried. Pandora says it requires an Intel Atom 1.6GHZ or faster and 1+GB ram, and 128+mbVRAM.
That's why ...

Thanks for the tips!
I am now running pianobar and it works fine, for me that is. It has been playing without any problems for two hours. My wife is not too happy with the console screen, she prefers the look that pandora has on Windows.
My iPod touch also works great, but she still prefers the ...

Hey KBD,

With so many members looking at your post, I am disappointed that no one had an answer re installing Pithos. Pandora is gaining in popularity and it would be nice to see one of the more knowledgeable members take a whack at it. I was using a Livio-Pandora radio for the past three years and ...

Can someone help me to get a map installed in navit?

I installed navit using Muggin's pet package. It seems to have installed OK. Next I went to the navit wiki and downloaded an openstreet map of about 162 M. I have tried about every way I can to get the map into navit with no luck. I downloaded it ...

I have been watching this thread hoping for an answer. Maybe someone will respond. I wish I knew how to do it myself.

1.3.10 installed, Puppy 5.1.1.
Works great!
Thanks
edit:
I just finished getting it to work on a second laptop, same setup. Both required a fresh install of puppy. I do not know why since both had only Firefox and Thunderbird installed.
All is well that ends well

It Printed!!

I did a clean install, ran live cd, followed your sequence, and it worked!

Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Sorry for confusing you by my reference to CUPS 1.3.1.0. I meant 1.3.10.

I haven't had a chance to apply your suggestions yet, but hope to get to it today.

To recap: I have three laptops that had Puppy 4.2.1, cups 1.3.10, and cups print driver Canon mp620-630 series ...

SOLVED!!


I just installed Puppy 5.1.1. It has cups 1.4.3.

Last year I could not get my Canon mp620 wireless printer working with Puppy 4.31.1.

It was working ok on Puppy 4.2.1 after Muggins prepared a pet for me, mp_ptr_620-i486pet, to get to work on 4.2.1
.
When I next found it would not work ...

I have Puppy 4.31.1 frugal on a laptop. On Shutdown>Power-off computer, puppy closes down and after the saved messages, the last line says "System Halted". Then if I hit the power button, it powers off.

This is an upgrade, a clean complete new installation. It replaced 4.21 that shut down normally ...

Dear Patriot

Thank you for your kind assistance, patience and dedication.
I can now print! You solved it!

Also, so far I have seen no problems with Firefox or anything else. Everything seems to work as before.

My thanks also to Muggins, and Ttuuxxx, for their help.

Sincerely grateful,
RGS

Patriot, Thank you so much for not abandoning me as a lost cause, as I had expected.
I hope you get your connectivity issue resolved soon. With all of the time you are online helping people, you are probably wearing everything out :(

Here are my latest attempts:

1. checked the cups version by ...

Patriot, I still need some of your guidance in upgrading cups. Please read my previous post.

I downloaded cups 1.3.11 stable release modular pet from Patriots March 22, 2009 post "cups and related software".

It shows as cups-1.3.11_i486 in the package manager. There are no missing shared libraries and no missing dependent packages shown.

The information on the post says;
"This pet has a ...

Thanks for all of that valuable info.

My past and present status;

I had one wireless router, 4 wireless laptops, one wired desktop, a wired printer connected to the desktop pc, and a wireless printer.

All computers were running Puppy 4.21 frugal. All could connect to either printer. All could ...

Thanks for the kind words Patriot!

Well, working with this cups problem, I found myself often talking to myself, saying Hmmmmmm!

I tried everything I could; booted from live cd pfix=ram, downloaded and tried everything suggested. No Luck!

Then, while running on live cd, I tried the print manager ...

I think I found the problem! :oops:

When I boot from the live cd, cups v1.3.10 is installed and the printer works.

When I boot from the frugal install, cups v1.1.23 is installed and it will not print.

I will play around with it and reinstall if necessary.

I'll come back and tell you what I did ...

I'm trying :?

@Patriot

I went to cups.org/software.php to download 1.3.11. It showed two choices; source.tar.gz and source.tar bz2. Which of these should I choose?

When I download it, can you tell me what to do with it? Like how to install it. Do I need to uninstall the present cups 1.1.23 first ...

EDITED
I just learned from Patriot that a Puppy pc connected to a router will publish, via cups, the installed printers. A second pc connected to that same router will see the printers from the other pc as installed when cups is opened on the second pc. So it appears that puppy automatically shares ...
