Printing from Knoppix to a networked (windows) printer...

1. Startup a Konsole terminal from the Knoppix GUI interface.

2. In Konsole, become the root super-user using the "su" command:

knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ su
root@ttyp0[knoppix]#

Note how the prompt ends in a "#" instead of a "$" for the root user.
Make sure you are the root user by verifying with the "whoami" command:

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# whoami
root

3. Start the CUPS printer daemon if it is missing (must be done as root):

Find out if the printer daemon cupsd is already running:

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# ps cax | grep cupsd

If you see a line of output, skip to the next step. If you see no
output, do this to start the daemon:

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# /etc/init.d/cupsys start
Starting CUPSys: cupsd

4. Exit the root user. (Do not work as "root" on a Unix system!)

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# exit
knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$

Note how the prompt reverts to its usual form, ending in "$".

5. In the Knoppix GUI use the mouse to go to the leftmost "K" icon
("Start Applications") in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the "K" and slide up to "Settings", across and down to
"Printing manager". Select it.

6. In the Printing Manager (KDE Control Module) window, make sure the
selection box at the bottom of the screen says: Print system currently
used: CUPS (Common UNIX Print System).

7. In the Printing Manager window, select the top left icon: Add Printer/Class

8. In the Introduction/Welcome window, select Next.

9. Select SMB Shared Printer (Windows), click next

10. Enter login info for the server, the server's addy, and any other required info (name of the printer, etc)

11. pick the make and model of the printer

12. The rest is fairly self explanatory.
