Running Salix 13.1 XFCE on a Dell Inspiron 6000 (shut up, it works fine!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey guys, I have been quite happily using SalixOS for awhile now. I began my journey with PuppyLinux, then Slackware, then Zenwalk, now (and ...

Hi there, I'm on a Dell Inspiron 6000, running Salix 13.1 XFCE. Recently I needed help getting my Linux box working with an HP printer. This went relatively smoothly thanks to the HPLIP package downloaded from the repository. First I set up the printer in CUPS, then by running <HP-setup> from the co...

the HP tools like hp-setup may need your user to be a member of the sys group. That was the missing info. I had already checked to make sure the user had appropriate permissions, but wrongly assumed the printer was controlled by either "plugdev" or "scanner". Thank you *very* mu...

Hi there. Not sure why my last response didn't go through.... but here it is again: I was able to ping, was able to see the device on the browser, so I ran HP set up and got the following: dennis[~]$ hp-setup -i 192.168.0.6 HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.10.2) Printer/Fax Setup Utility...

OK, I am unclear about what stage you have got to. Is your printer already connected to your network? Yes. I printed the HP Network Configuration Status directly from the printer's control panel and it confirms connection and lists specific information about the network. If so, can you connect to i...

Okay. I am back at work and trying the posted suggestions. Per aurlaent's posted link, I ran hp-setup and walked through all of the steps in the Wizard. Here is the result: dennis[~]$ hp-setup HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.10.2) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0 Copyright (c) 2001-9 ...

Hi guys, I have no experience with printing from my personal laptop, but my new job requires it. I'm running Salix XFCE 13.1 on a Dell Inspiron 6000, the printer I would like to connect to is an HP Photosmart C3485 All-in-One. In my attempts to connect, I first went to Settings>XFCE 4 Printing Syste...

SOLVED! Holy hell is this a weird one. I use rfkill to toggle wifi. On a hunch I ran /usr/sbin/rfkill list and got: dennis[~]$ /usr/sbin/rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes I then found this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1781350&page=2 ....whic...

In Wicd's preferences, you should actually change the wireless connection from wlan0 to eth0 (like it shows in iwconfig) and leave eth1 (the wired connection) unchanged. Tried this, rebooted, no change. I haven't looked too much into details about the specifics, but if you're having problems with w...
