I've got a printer that is connected to my network with a fixed ip address. I can print to it from my kubuntu 6.06 lts system.
What I want to do next is to share this printer so that my Windows systems can print to it through my kubuntu system so that it manages the print jobs. I could connect the Windows systems directly to this printer, but I really want to do it in Samba like I do at work with Windows servers where you manage the network printer on a particular server.
I do best with using gui tools and then going to look at the configuration file to see what the tool did and to learn from that. So I used the package manager to install SWAT and it said it was successful, but when I open a browser for http://localhost:901 I get an error indicating that can't establish a connection with localhost:901.
My next attempt was to try and get Webmin. Unfortunately the maintainer for the debian package stopped maintaining it so it was withdrawn from the repositories. I tried getting the debian package from the webmin site, but it won't install successfully.
So where do I go next? Anyone have a clue why I can't open SWAT?
