Tried to print, didnt realise that is a problem. (Solved)
Hello
I am running frugal install tahr 605 on a dell vostro 1320, 2gb ram 2.2ghz and have been using it for months. I like tahr 605 alot but tried to print for the first time and got cups-pdf, print to file.
Has anyone a simple description of how to add a printer, a hp laserjet 1020 to tahr. I have read up but as a beginner it doesnt work. Tried foo2xxx_rcrsn.pet and that wouldnt install.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Details please. I just installed the foo2xxx driver in Tahrpup605 and it installed fine.number77 wrote:Tried foo2xxx_rcrsn.pet and that wouldnt install.
1. I downloaded the PET to a temporary location.
2. I click-installed it.
3. I ran the CUPS setup wizard.

I downloaded foo2xxx_rcrsn-2016.06.29.pet to root and get error message foo2xxx_rcrsn-2016.06.29.pet failed to install. Do I need the printer connected to load the driver.rcrsn51 wrote:Details please.

It sounds to me like you are not getting a good download from Mediafire. The md5sum is
Code: Select all
67e7b06ec94ad87372c77c86b9003dcf foo2xxx_rcrsn-2016.06.29.pet
why are you installing this PET? Adding a printer using the CUPS that is present in Tahr 6.0.5 should suffice.
from the beginning... open your browser and open http:/localhost:631
the CUPS web interface should open. Click on the "Administration" tab then "add a printer" or "Find a printer". Make sure the printer is connected and turned on beforehand.
Are you doing these steps or similar?

Just downloaded, MD5 correct for me.rcrsn51 wrote:@rockedge: We don't know where number77 is located, but could you (or anyone else) download the PET from MediaFire and check the md5sum?
It works for me.
