USB printer
I have an HP printer (laserjet p1102w) and I've rebuilt the kiosk (latest build) a few times using different HP drivers. I've tried printing several times and I'm not even getting gibberish out. I've tried a different computer and different USB cable and...nothing. Is there anything else I can try - other than a different printer. It's the only one that we have.

Re: USB printer
hi jetbtwo,
i have made an effort to include 'hplip' package in the printing module for kiosk:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/news.html#140918
and i'm close to finish it (just need someone to confirm that it works!).
unfortunately HP LaserJet p1102w requires proprietary plugin integrated with the kiosk:
http://hplipopensource.com/node/309
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/plugin.html
and there is no chance to make this setup working through the wizard.
i could create a custom kiosk build with these components embedded:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/builds.html
so if you are interested please contact me on builds@porteus-kiosk.org.
thanks
