Thanks. I haven't tested the HP printer driver in Xenial64, but it should be OK.
I wonder if any Slacko64 users own printers.
How to Install a Printer in Tahr64/Slacko64/Fatdog64
You shouldn't have to - that's exactly what 64BitInstaller automatically does for you.watchdog wrote:The scanner works after installing a hplip_print_scan_tahr64-3.16.11.pet with a little workaround: rename the /usr/lib dir inside the package as /usr/lib64.
I will check this.
[Edit] I checked and it works correctly. Did you accidentally click-install the PET?
Networked Epson XP-200
G'day rcrsn51,
Having decided to try a litter of recent 64-bit Pups on a dedicated partition on my desktop, I've got as far as Xenial64-7.0.8.5.
I downloaded and installed your pet then found a 64-bit driver (.deb) on the OpenPrinting page for my Epson XP-200 printer+scanner.
Ran your pet, dragging the .deb file into the dialog box. Told me it was 'Done' after a few seconds.
I was then able to use CUPS to install the printer via its network connection - it is also plugged in via a usb but I prefer the network route being more 'general' for the home network.
The screenshot is the happy result after printing a test page successfully.
I'm not sure if my one-off try with a Xenial Pup is enough for you to add 'xenial64' to the thread title with total confidence .
I'll get onto other 64-bit Pups and also check out the scanner and report as I go.
Thanks for your continued support.

G'day rcrsn51,
I can now also confirm your .pet works in slacko64-6.9.6.4 for my Epson XP200 as a network printer.
Same .deb package as driver source, just different browser (firefox in slacko, was palemoon in Xenial64 above) and different Pup button.
I need to find the software for these new-for-me 64-bit Pups that I'm used to in my 32-bit Pups, so it may be a while before I get testing again of your .pet and my printer in other 64-bit Pups.
