How to fix broken CUPS permissions after installing Chrome
via the .deb package...
*************************************************************
This is a well-known problem in Puppy. It stems from the fact that .debs (from Debian or Ubuntu) are designed to set-up permissions for a multi-user system. Puppy is not a multi-user system; it is specifically designed to be a single-user system, so the user has unfettered access to their system.
The problem is usually that the .deb package corrupts permissions on the /initrd/pup_rw directory. In normal usage, these should be as follows:-
If your execute permissions are not as in the image, tick/untick the checkboxes until they are. Then 'Refresh'. Finally, 'Close'.
Now re-boot Puppy. Not strictly necessary, but to my way of thinking it merely ensures that the the correct permissions are read at start-up. The problem has been confirmed by rcrsn51, here:-

Hopefully, this should fix it for you. After re-booting, obviously, check to ensure printing is now working as it should.

Morning, all.
I am, as you're all probably aware by now, a very long-term Chrome user. I couldn't help noticing that there aren't any 64-bit SFS packages available on the Forum, so I've decided to make a couple...
These will work on Tahr64 (and derivatives), and Slacko64 (and derivatives). Like peebee, I'm only going to concentrate on SFS packages for these. The same converter that will work on his Chromium releases to turn them into .pets should work on these, too.

Here's the link for the 'Google Chrome browser' folder on my Google Drive a/c. Access it, and download the one you want.

Enjoy! Any problems, let me know as usual.
