How to open Porteus menu?

Post#1 by AWD_Guy » 13 Jul 2017, 22:16

Hello all, and thanks proactively for any help. My google foo must be off today because I am stunned I can't find and answer to this...

I've been using Porteus in Kiosk mode for years, but now trying to configure a printer and follow:

HOWTO:Setting up a printer on porteus with a ppd

And the fisrt step is:
1) On the panel menu: porteus menu > system > printing will lead you to the system-config-printer gui.

And I have never seen a Porteus menu other than the Ctrl-Alt-Del one...

Is there a keyboard shortcut or something I can't find regardless of my searching?

Please don't tell me it is only in "Thin Client" mode...

The printer I am adding is actually the example one in the thread, a Brother HL-2300W which is now a couple years old and yet not in the 4.4.0 default list. :(

hi,
that tutorial is for the standard porteus, not the kiosk version, which i gather, you're using.
this : http://porteus-kiosk.org/faq.html#14 might be of help..
and this area: Porteus Kiosk Edition is for questions relating to the kiosk edition.
