Im trying to install on both puppy linux 4.1.1 and pup 2.15ce (ecopup with puppy with the CUPS 0.3 addon). On both versions, after running the setup steps in the CUPS printer interface window (at localhost:631), I get the message next to the newly installed S20 printer (after selecting usb printer #1) on the setup steps for "add new printer". The only difference being on the puppy 2.15ce setup (with pakts CUPS0.3.pup installed) is next to entry for usb printer #1 it says "Usb Printer #1 (Epson Stylus s20). Puppy 2.15ce seems to be picking up the fact there is this printer installed while puppy 4.1.1 does not.
Code: Select all
"usb:/dev/usb/lp0": No such device"
I installed the additional printer drivers from openprinting.org, and copied them to the /usr/share/cups/model directory.
The puppy wiki seems inexplicably absent of any instructions for installing usb printers.
Has anyone had any success with puppy and usb printers? Parallel printers are getting pretty hard to come by.
