How to print with Porteus

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 554...

Re: keyboard mapping not saving

Hello again

I can't get the cheat code to work. The line in my amended porteus.cfg file is -

Code: Select all

APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=/porteus/porteussave.dat kmap=uk
Please tell me: what I am doing wrong?

thanks!

Re: keyboard mapping not saving

Aha! That makes sense - thanks everyone for your answers. I have had a very positive impression of Porteus so far, and I'm sure it's good for me to learn a few Linux nuts and bolts!

Re: keyboard mapping not saving

Thank you!

I will change the config file. .. sounds better because with cheat codes am I correct to say that you have to enter a cheat code at every boot?

Hi I am running 32 bit Porteus 3.2.2 with mate. I created porteus/porteussave.dat and amended the config file (however, I had to do this in Notepad on Windows because the link in the Porteus Settings app did not work). I also updated the USM database - although the process appeared to hang at one of...
