Can Bionic Pup be made to see network printers?

G'day,

I have no problem with BionicPup64 and all other Pups (including 32-bit) accessing and using my networked Epson printer.
I use the CUPS printer wizard (in the Setup Menu) and the default browser (usually seamonkey) with an installed Epson driver package for my model (WF-2510).

Is your problem with you needing to access more than one printer (you wrote 'printers')?

If it's only one printer, what make and model?
How do you connect this printer to the network - wired or wireless?
Does it connect with other computers or OSs?
What is your Puppy computer (make & model) - have you more than one computer with Bionic and have you tried the CUPS wizard with each one? What error messages do you see?
Can you try connecting the printer via a USB port (as a test connection)?

And add any other information about your exact system so our forum printer experts can help you (I'm just a long-term user who needs his printer/scanner).

Good luck.

I have a large BROTHER hL L6200DN, ,might be puppy just no like my printer......
I will try USB,, if it say no,then I know I have bad printer.
And yesI tried it on 3 different computers, I run Linux 19.3 as main distro, it prints with or with out a wire, in fact all of them
I use it for business,, and in bus,,,,I get modified stuff don't work,,,so new printer may be in order.....
