@chrish061 :-

Minolta, eh? Not a common one...

On the Konica Minolta downloads page:-

https://www.konicaminolta.eu/eu-en/supp ... oad-centre

.....after entering "Bizhub C35", there's a whole list of them comes up. Are there any letters after 'C35'?

Minolta list:-
- C350
- C350CS
- C351
- C352
- C352CS
- C352P
- C353
- C353CS
- C352P
- C35
- C35P

It appears Linux drivers are available, but.....which one is it? We will need to know the exact model number/type before we can go any further....

Mike. ;)

You will need the ppd files for CUPS. See: https://www.uni-due.de/campussoftware/K ... 0Guide.pdf

Sometimes, Puppy will not have the ppd file and a good tip to easily know if one is available is to boot up an Ubuntu and see if that automatically works with the printer. In the past it was easy to copy a ppd across but not so easy to find now.

Thank you Mike for your reply.
I have been totally distracted this yesr with moving-home issues and only now get back to other things.
On the Minolta plate is only states: Model: C35 and nothing else... manufactured April 2013.
I do still need these.
Regards, Chris.

Try the one bizhub C35 that is found by putting C35 in the search.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
