How do you setup a wireless network?

I’m try to setup a wireless network with my linksys wireless router and my HP laptop dual booting Vista & Suse 11.2. I have the vista networked, just fine. Where I can share files and the printer connected to my desktop. But I want to be able to use Suse in the same way, full time and to stray away from Vista. My wife and kids like easy. So I’m trying to transform them and show them something new. Thanks for any help. By the way I am new to Linux and trying to learn.

If this means your wireless doesn’t work in SUSE. Please open a terminal and post result of

/sbin/lspci -nnk

I have found this.

Printer Sharing: Windows Print Server for Suse/openSUSE Linux Clients [Samba and LPD]

But I am having problems getting it to save the setup. I put my user name and root password but it does not except it

Your wireless device:

Looks OK

For CUPS use the username: root, and root’s password. NOT your username.

P. V.
“We’re all in this together, I’m pulling for you.” Red Green

Yes, I did use my root user name and my root password I enter it and then cups ask again for it so I do it again then the screen goes white

I can finally see my windows shared folders so I think I got the network set up correctly. I just having a hard time getting that printer to shake hands

I found a printing bug with cups using the Konica Minolta magicolor 2430dl. It says Can not find rastertokm2430dl I’m still working on how to resolve this.

KonicaMinolta-17 root 17408 Tue Jun 22 00:14:44 2010
printer KonicaMinolta is idle. enabled since Tue Jun 22 00:19:21 2010
Unable to start filter “rastertokm2430dl” - No such file or directory.

And also says

/usr/bin/lp: Not allowed to print.

Thanks that worked.

What does this mean?

/usr/bin/lp: Not allowed to print.

Everything is working thanks for your help. Used
