Just a quick newbie question. I have copied the printing module posted by Blaze, dropped it into the "base" folder on Porteus. My printer is a HP and on running "hp-toolbox" with terminal i get the following. Hope that image works as ive not tried putting an image on a forum before
If anyone has any idea what i do next give us a shout

Printing module issue
I use Cinnamon with an HP printer and am not seeing what you're seeing.
I didn't use hp-toolbox to set up my printer. I used the Porteus Menu > Administration > Print Settings option.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ hp-toolbox

Is what I see.
Are you online? Is your printer connected to your network? What printer module are you using? You should certainly see something even if only an error msg.
