rcrsn51, fredx181:
Success the printer is installed and working.

Thanks for all the help.
I promise to leave you both in peace now for a while.

I.m not surprised your confused.

That referred to the results of my previous attempt to install the unified driver. Cups appeared in the menu no idea how that happened. I un-installed
the unified driver and all that disappeared.

Will try to finally install the printer later.

rcrsn51:
I'm beginning to wonder if I actually have a brain.
I got that installed OK.
I opened the cups webpage and was confronted with a request for a password.
I tried root and puppy but neither were excepted.???

rcrsn51: I installed the printer with these pets. They install the ML2162 driver in cups. samsung_print-4.01.17.pet samsung_print-4.00.35.pet These are a bit hit and miss but work best with older puppies. Does this answer your question. I downloaded and installed "uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz"...

rcrsn51: On this laptop I'm running Bionicdog64 on which I would like to install the ML2162. I have two other laptops with different systems running. On one of these I have Tahr 32bit with the printer installed using a pet you provided some time ago. On the other I have Tahr 64bit on which only yest...

I have a few samsung driver pets which still work with most 32bit puppies. They don't work with 64bit systems It was you who provided them for me. I also have unifiedlinuxdrivers 3.00.90.tar.gz and 4.00.36.tar.gz. I recently installed the samsung printer on a tahr64 install using the unified driver....

Yes I still have the canon and all those packages. I also have a samsung ML2162 which is what I use mostly now. In relation to the install of 2018-06-04 I installed the latest flashplayer but it didn't work. Tried it in the older install and it didn't work there either. I then copied flashplayer fro...

Quick update:
I just finished installing 2018-06-04 on a mini USB stick.
I now have a nice tidy OS with almost everything I need included.
I'd better not mention printers for a while.
Thanks again for all the help.

rcrsn51:
Will do, thanks for the hint.

fredx181:
I installed your .deb, powered off, removed the dongle then rebooted and wifi
connected automatically as before.
Brilliant work, thanks a lot, really appreciated.
I will now go ahead and do an install of 2018-06-04.
irishrm.

rcrsn51, fredx181 thanks for your work on this. I already have two installs of the older kernel up and running with a wifi dongle. I am going to have a go at both your suggestions. I may learn something. However with my limited experience if a .deb package was available it would be great. Will repor...

rcrsn51 no pressure. If you find the time that would be great,
The kernel is 4.15.0-15-generic.

stemsee: I'm afraid compiling is a bit beyond me. If I had access to the kernel you compiled I might be able to stick it in the correct place.

Again no pressure.
thanks.

Thanks rcrsn51 for the reply.
I did as you suggested and got the message that wlan0 was not active.
As I said I can manage fine without it so there is no need to waste your time on it if it presents any difficulty.
Thanks again.

I am making good progress setting up bionic dog on my main computer. I have one problem I would like to solve. This computer has a broadcom wl wifi driver. I installed this package which includes my driver but don't know how to activate it. dkms source for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver Broadcom S...

fredx181 waited ten minutes so the screensaver seems to be disabled ok. I'll double check later. Just one other thing if I run the script to disable the screensaver at startup then It will be disabled permanently which wouldn't be a good idea. It would be better to just disable it when needed. Thank...

rcrsn51 I made a mistake in my typing first time. Got it right this time.
Re-booted and sound level is as I set it. asound.state is showing.
Thanks for sticking with me.
irishrm.

Thanks fredx181.
I.ve done what you suggested and will wait for ten minutes tosee if it works.
irishrm.

rcrsn51 thanks for the reply. Sorry to be bothering you again. I tried your suggestion but didn't work. I followed the path /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. The file asound.state is missing so maybe that's the reason sound isn't sticking. Not to worry it's not a deal breaker anyway. On this old computer ...

I must say I am very impressed with bionic dog. I'm considering making it the LTS os for my main laptop if I can solve a few small problems. I need to to be able to disable the screensaver for video but I can't figure out how. Also increasing the sound doesn't stick on reboot. Any help would be appr...

HI guys reporting that I now have the wyfi auto connecting. Its so easy when you know what to do. I'm sure it must be very frustrating trying to help people like me, who even though I've been a consistent puppy user since joining the forum, I still sometimes need to have things explained to me in ba...
