How do I download the package?Accessing directly the download link doesn't work. The download only starts if you click from the download page.
Just tested the link and its still working ... Tested with Seamonkey and DownThemAll ... If you're using a download accelerator, you must specify a single chunk/part download. Parallel downloads may give this error ... What can I say, it's free hosting stuffs .....Wheres One wrote:........ How do I download the package?
Click on the pet package to install, connect the printer to your usb port, start CUPS web interface (ie. http://localhost:631/) and make a test print ... Yes, installing the printer driver will automatically add the printer automatically into CUPS using the usb backend as default ...Wheres One wrote: .....
Now that I have the package, how would I go about setting up my Canon MX860? (it's on my home network and I have the IP address, MAC, etc.)
.....
I must have overlooked the firewall stuffs ... sorry about that ... I believe the standard canon BJNP ports are 8611, 8612, 8613 and 8614 (both tcp and udp) ... Try port 8611 tcp/udp first, then only all of them if it doesn't work ..... You can set them open using the firewall wizard ...Wheres One wrote:Patriot, my firewall was what was preventing me from getting at my printer. ........
Ignore step 4...this works a treat so providing all that tarty control needed for such as label printing.1. go into the print dialog, click "new printer" and give it a name (I chose kprint).
2. select adobe, postscript level 2 (the defaults).
3. browse for the ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd or /usr/share/turboprint
4. select "custom command" and enter "kprinter -d Canon" (in my case)
5. click OK
All the papersizes, resolutions and tray options now appear as before.
some minor tweaking may be needed and the extra options appeared in the cups options but not as yet in the gimp (??) ..this may give a way to use the CD tray but I will try that later...odd that canon do not include the extra options since these at least seem to work.*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne

did you install the canon printer locally on the windows machine as well?Next I added a printer to each Windows system to print to:
http://192.168.1.3:631/printers/ip1800
and changed the Advanced option to Print Directly to the printer.
Ah yes ... that's what I was about to comment on too ...mbridges1 wrote: ........
At this point, if Windows can connect to the printer it will give you a pop-up window to select the manufacturer and model of printer. I had already installed the printer drivers for my printer on each of the Windows systems from the CD which came with the printer. ........
Hmm..epson...cups on puppy normal setup....adobe postcript+ppd sent as rawI'm unsure how to advise as I do not know how's your actual setup is ... If you're printing from windows to puppy, you may want to investigate adding a raw usb:// printer in puppy for windows printing ... That's how I'd usually do it ...
