Hi this is my first attempt to use a Linux based operating system and there are a few things I need to get sorted on my PC's before I can really use Knoppix 3.3. I was hoping I could at least get pointed to the right place for some advice here
Firstly I can't add my HP Deskjet 995 or any other printer as I get a message saying that:
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused.
What do I need to do here?
Secondly I want to try Knoppix on an older Toshiba Portege Laptop 7200 but it defaults to a 640 x 480 screen resolution and I can't find where to change it. Also I use a Belkin Wireless Network Card in a PC Card slot but it is not recognised by default so how should I proceed there? I actually have access to some other makes of Wireless cards from ELsa, Zoom, CIsco and Compaq available to me if this helps.
Finally I get an unrecognised bus message when trying to boot the CD on my New Sony Vaio PCG-GRT716S but I imagine this is purely a system that has not been included in the build to date but any insight into this would be helpfull.
Thanks in advance for any help

This was my first Knoppix problem too. Turns out that there were 2-3 different ways to skin the cat, except it worked one way, and not the others. I had to go through the K menu rather than the configuration menu (which is what made sense to me). Here's the link to my thread:

Also, probably just a strange coincidence, but I went to HS with someone named Chris Hewitt. Hotshot was either valedictorian or salutatorian back in '77. He defended an authority-flouting classmate of mine from being impeached as student body president.![]()
