solved: autorun CD/DVD drive

My CD/DVD drive doesn't work on autoplay. I have had some success manually mounting the drive and going into the disc's content to play with Gixne.

I've always had a hard time doing searches in the Puppy forums as the results often have nothing to do with my search. I end up Googling it.

Thanks.

Because this printer also has a USB port, I would recommend that you first get it working as a local printer. This will help you find the right driver. Some wireless routers have a print server built in. If yours does, you could connect the printer through it. Thanks. Turned printer off/on. I conne...

Does the above link indicate that this printer can not be used wirelessly with Puppy or any other distro?

I just removed the regular hplip and installed the hpliplite-1.8.12 successfully.

Does the HP printer come configured with a set ip address? Not that I'm aware of but.... On my XP desktop PC connected to the wireless printer via USB I see in control panel HP Photosmart C4500 series (61.81.635.0). Would that be the ip address? If so what are the steps for setup, starting with &qu...

But some Broadcom wifi devices, especially those found in Dell and HP notebooks, are notorious for failing to work with these drivers.
