Or do you want to publish the printer to the rest of your LAN with Slackware? In the first case, use CUPS. It's pretty easy to add a printer with the web interface. In the second case... connect the printer to the Slack box, it's easier that way. Jenni |

Hate to start you off that way, but there is more to it that clicking a few buttons. Enter this at a prompt. ps aux | grep cupsd If you see something in the response like: /usr/sbin/cupsd cups is running. Enter this at a prompt. ps aux | grep smbd If you see something in the response like: /usr/sbin/smbd -D samba is running. See what you have and get back if you need anything. -- Robert - slackware |

I'll have to check. and remember this: if you have weird problems, deinstall cups and lprng, then reinstall cups. to get it started every time you boot, chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups |
