How to print from Puppy 5.7.1 with CUPS 2.1.3?

#1 Post by increa »

CUPS 1.4.8 from Puppy 5.7.1 finds my parallel port Brother printer when I press the "Add Printer" button. Successfully shared the printer to my WinXP and Win10 computers, too by clicking the "share" option.

CUPS 2.1.3 from Puppy 7.5 does not. In fact, it offers a generic serial port, when I have nothing plugged into the serial port.

I'm stuck. Any idea how I can get 2.1.3/7.5 to use my printer?
