Printers, and Samba, and Swat (oh my!)
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.
