How to print with Porteus
Posted: 04 Jul 2017, 16:11
Hi
I couldn't find much info about printing. I did find a link to a file ... 07-printing-i586-18.01.2017.xzm which I added to my modules folder. This created an item in the System Tools menu called 'Manage Printing' which links through to the CUPS 2.1.4 Admin.
I am using a printer called HP Envy 5540 and trying to connect to it via wifi. CUPS cannot find the printer even though they are both connected to the same wifi router.
What should I be doing to set up printing?
I found a couple of old threads about HPLIP:

... but these are for old versions of Porteus. What is the current advice?
Many thanks
