System: Debian 2.2r6 potato with a few woody upgrades. I'm trying to use printtool to set up my HP Laserjet 5L and when I start it up it claims that Samba is not installed. Samba is installed, but I just haven't configured it yet. The printer is autodetected and passes the ascii test direct to port, but does not pass the regular ascii test or the postscript test. I couldn't cut and paste the exact error, as the text wasn't selectable. Beyond auto-detection by printtool what else should be done to set up the printer?
Also, I'd like to configure samba using swat, but when following the directions in Learning Debian Gnu/Linux Chapter 10 ( http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/ch10_03.html ) It says "To access swat, point your browser to port 901 of your system. For example, you can use the URL http://localhost:901/. Your web browser will prompt you for a userid and password; specify root as the userid and give the appropriate password. Figure 10.1 shows swat's main menu, accessed by using the system's IP address in place of its hostname." When I type http://localhost:901/ or http://192.168.0.1:901/ as the example shows into Mozilla, I do NOT get asked for a userid or password, and instead I get a pop up box saying: connection refused. I am logged in as root when this happens. Do I have firewall settings blocking 901 or something? Or overall, 1) How can I make swat work? and 2) How do I get the printer to work? Thanks for any help. -- Brian W. Carver -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
