Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) v1.3.11
Patriot RULES the world of CUPS.
Bingo I downloaded the pet and installed it and it works like a charm .I had to use the Password setup but I remembered them from other posts and all is well.
I wonder how it got missed in the Spup setup. Thanks to all who contributed to the solution to the problem,Patriot for the solution and the others for taking the time to help a geriatric trier.
Regards Dennis.

CUPS installed, but no printouts
Patriot, thank you for the excellent instructions and packaging. You rock for sharing such detailed work with the community!
I now have a reasonably functioning CUPS installation (at least, it lets me administer, add printers, etc. via the web interface!) which is more than I've had before. I've installed CUPS, ghostscript, the libtif package, and foomatic-rip (which is required by my driver).
Unfortunately, although jobs go through CUPS ok, they end up immediately on the "completed" queue, but nothing ever happens on the printer (Dell 1100, via USB). No printout, no lights flash, nothing. at all. I've tried with both the Samsung ML 1000 and Samsung ML 1510 drivers, which are specified for this printer in other forums around the net.
I used to have this working under another variant of Puppy, and still do have it working on this machine under the OS X boot, so I know it's not hardware. This is Browserlinux, a variant of Puppy 4.31.
Any suggestions? I'm stumped at this point. Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I take it that all of these items are missing from Browserlinux?I've installed CUPS, ghostscript, the libtif package, and foomatic-rip (which is required by my driver).
The various parts of the CUPS printing chain need to be installed correctly as a group or the process fails. I would suggest that you get a standard Puppy like 4.3.1 and upgrade CUPS from here.
Once you have your printer working in that environment, you can go back to Browserlinux and try again.
v. large /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat
Hi all,
I've tried following the instructions
v1.3.11 of CUPS on puppy 4.3 and I still can't add a local printer.
the /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat file grows to 142.4 Meg - i can add the HP LaserJet, but it won't print the test page. Try to change the driver to one of the other two that match the printer and I get 100% cpu on the cups daemon.
Without a printer for a month now

petr7: You didnt mention what kind of HP Laserjet you have. My HP Laserjet 1020 works fine with most CUPS versions after foo2xxx_r220909-0.0-i486.pet installation. It has drivers for certain HP Laserjet versions. It also creates hotplugin folder which is needed at least for my printer. Firmware must be feeded to HP Laserjet 1020 printer with every printing and this package creates that.
Check here supported printers with this driver package: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/

CUPS 1.3.11 has a little trouble setting up the old Puppy PDF-Writer device. Initially, just pick any Generic PCL driver. Then go to Modify Printer. Now pick Raw and Raw Queue as the make and model.
For some reason, CUPS won't print a test page to this device. But I tried it with several applications and it worked OK.

Hi rcrsn51,
many thanks for all your job !
SOLVED
[edited] I went just to solve this ! it is trivial:
- puppy has to be rebooted with pixma (or any usb device, I presume) already switched ON -
Wanting to install a Canon pixma MP160 on...Turbopup-Xtreme-v.1.0 (=puppy 4.20 derivative !):
I first apply your advice installing cups-1.3.9 + cupsd.conf.zip...OK!
Now I get a try installing my USB Canon Pixma MP160 Printer from CUPS...but cannot find the 'usb' among the list of communication devices (see snapshot attached).
I ran
These Pixma is already running as scanner on sane using the usb port...
So, what to do to get the usb device identified on cups ?
Many thanks for any answer
cheers, Charlie

I am new so let me know if my post should go somewhere else.
I just updated cups to the latest version on my puppeee install and I have a new problem. When I try to print, it says:
"Unable to open file "/var/spool/cups/d00002-001" - Permission denied"
I tried changing the permissions as it was suggested in another thread, but I still get the same error. I also confirmed it was installed as root.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
