Point 6: Printer
You have to procede to a "setup". For English speakers, no problem! I indicate the way only for the translation into other languages because the user dialogs in Puppy are all in English!

  • TRY IT:

    • click right mouse key on the desktop
    • click on "setup" (in 3thd position at the top)
    • click on "Printer Wizard (in the middle): the actual printer list appairs
    • choose your printer or a compatible printer (Puppy supports only Canon, Epson, HP and Lexmark)
    • choose the print quality for draft
    • choose the print quality for draft
    • choose the print quality for normal
    • choose the print quality for high quality
    • choose the kind of paper depending of printer type (most printers, inkjet's, laser's)
    • choose ink type (Black, RGB, Black+RGB, Black+more colors)
    • choose interface (parallel, USB, serial)
    • the info appears, that you can manage your printer with the printer management programm XPDQ or PDQ
      XPDQ appears. Ready!

  • How to find XPDP again?

    • click right mouse key on the desktop
    • click on "Control Panel" (in 1st position at the top)
    • click on "XPDP (last position in the top block)

Point 7: Internet through DHCP
I will only describe the short way to connect with the Internet through a LAN hub and a hardware router giving DHCP connection because it is the only one what I can really test without to rebuilt completely my work place! And I will only describe short the most direct way...

You have to procede to a "setup". For English speakers, no problem! I only indicate the way for the translations into other languages because the user dialog are in Puppy all in English!

  • TRY IT:

    • click right mouse key on the desktop
    • click on "setup" (in 3rd position at the top)
    • click on "Ethernet/network Wizard (in the middle, after the Modem Wizard under the already used Printer wizard)
    • click on the option key "eth0"
    • click on the option key "Test eth0"
    • the actual windows appears again and indicates in the 3rd line, directly under the title, the result of the test. I hope for you "An alive internet cable is plugged in"
    • click on the next option key "Auto DHCP". After a certain delay, your PC gets an dynamic IP from router and the success message "NETWORK CONFIGURATION OF eth0 SUCCESSFULL"
    • click on the "Exit" key!

For a lot of users, the PC is now "ok" under Puppy Linux and can be used as your Microsoft Windows system!
