If the hardware works in KNOPPIX, run the lsmod command to see what modules
are loaded. From that list, you should be able to add the necessary modules as just described.
Configure a printer??”Because Slackware now includes the CUPS facility for printing
(replacing LPRng), you can configure your printers using any Web browser. The best way
to begin adding and configuring a printer is to type the following into a location box on
any Web browser on your Slackware system:
http://localhost:631:/admin
Enter the root username and your root password when prompted. Then select the Add
printer button to begin adding your printer to your CUPS printing server on your
Slackware system.
Configure networking??”If you didn??™t configure your Ethernet cards at installation time,
you can do it now. Type the following command:
# netconfig
The menu system enables you to configure your network interface using the same screens
as at installation.
