Yes PyQt5 is there. Since I apparently managed to install the printer to MX's satisfaction, I am leaning towards the view that as well as the difficulty getting Salix to swallow it, there is a hardware fault (paper jam whatever I print, including the test page). However, before sending the printer b...

I think I have installed it successfully in another distro. But I can't be sure, because the paper jams every time it tries to print. This is probably a hardware fault, but it's difficult to be certain. The HP website for the binary plugin includes a list of distributions (not including Slackware) t...

Thanks djemos, those just seem to take me down the same rabbit hole.

I've just bought an old printer on Ebay (HP Laserjet Professional p1102) and it's giving me some trouble. I've tried using CUPS and also with hplip. It says it needs a "binary plugin" which appears to be this: https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/binary_plugin.html (whic...

Six years later ... and still going strong! :mrgreen: I am upgrading to 15.0, and needed to boot with the same "mem" parameter. The only reason for this is I need a recent pulseaudio to talk to some fancy bluetooth headphones I have. Or at least, the upgrade seemed the simplest way :roll: ...

Thanks George, I think you're right, I must have tried this before some time back.

This is actually two problems, I think. signal-desktop package comes from slackbuilds.org, but it has been built in the /extra repository. signal has frequent updates, and older versions don't work by design. So I removed this package, and installed it from slapt-src. I can't work out how it happene...

Hello, and welcome!

Yes it is fast ...
