in LIVECD, trying to access network printer
I get a blank page trying to print; connect to printer button doesn't work. So I was sent to http //localhost:631 which I
went there, but it doesn't take MY logon name and password. So on the livecd, can I use the Root Name and password ?? what is it?? Name = deepin password = ???? thanks |

Is there a good reason to do all of this? Network printing requires Root password and Root rights to configure everything... Thor |
Hey Thor,
Give me a break ok? I'm NOT a Geek, or a Computer Tech, ok ?? 1. " Of course not, where would it get that info from? " Well, duh...I am TYPING it in ! But it won't take/accept it , ok? 2. " that depends, some LiveCD's allow this from the prompt, on Knoppix, entering "su -" is enough to get root rights." ok, I didn't know that either, being a newbie...but I found that out from another forum. And yeah, it worked. 3."Is there a good reason to do all of this? Network printing requires Root password and Root rights to configure everything." I think there are TWO EXCELLENT reasons : first: IF THE PRINTER PAGE on this program WORKED AS INTENDED, I would not have to go thru all this, right? Second: I am trying different distro's ...to find one that is easy to use for a non-tech or Geek at home on his local network, and don't want to keep spending hundreds of dollars on Microsoft Windows. Didn't have this much hassle with other Distro's so I'll just move on. But thank you for responding. I appreciate it. |

Maybe, testing on a USB stick could help...it's like a drive, be it slower...but you should be able to persist your settings on it... Quote:
