They allow Printing and also Scanning (for HP PSC models, for instance).
Dynamic ppd versions are much lighter than previous static ones, since do not contain static ppds.
Instead, ppds are generated dynamically for capable versions of cups, such as 1.3.11 in Quirky or 1.4.x in lupu.
The dynamical packages have been compiled and tested in Wary and should also be suited for Quirky, Precise and, hopefully, lupu and slacko.
Please note that they are NOT functional for standard puppy's, up to and including 4.3.1.
Those versions REQUIRE STATIC hpliplite packages, obtainable from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 018#184635
Please check whether your printer is supported by hplip and that it DOES NOT require additional plugins, at
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/su ... bined.html.
Devices requiring additional plugins for printing/scanning/faxing are not (fully) supported by hpliplite packages.
To install the latest hpliplite, dynamic version, please proceed as follows:
1. Install libnetsnmp-15.pet
2. Install hpliplite-3.14.3.pet from http://goo.gl/cFE1Ol
NOTE for lucid and slacko puppy users: The latest hpliplite-3.14.3 and also hpliplite-3.12.11 pets require executing
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
End of NOTE for lucid and slacko puppy users
Note added on may 18th, 2012
Slacko-5.3.3 users can choose to install full hplip.
