If you are only talking about a ppd file that needs to be in /usr/share/cups... Then simply add that to your .filetool.lst. There is even a button in emelfm to do this just by navigating to the file and clicking a button.


Thanks for the reply.  I know you're a busy man.

I presume you mean, highlight the ppd file and click on "add2filetool" ...  

Is there some way to make this persistant in a liveCD environment?

The backup/restore will work as long as you use unionfs.
Unionfs is default with 3.0 and boot option with 3.0.1
Unionfs will likely return to be the default with the next release.

Llocation for ppd files is:
/usr/share/cups/model/

If cups is already running then you need to stop it and start it.
It is on the menu in the mydsl section.

Normally /usr/share is read-only, so might want to use dsl-3.x and boot with unionfs

I'm booting DSL 2.3 from a live CD.  How do I get around the read-only barrier?

(I've tried changing permissions from within emelFM ... no luck!
