Install your SMS Server from the SMS.Native.CD.ISO, using all the DEFAULT
settings.  I didn't install anything that involved EMAIL, WEBSERVER, etc.
All I wanted functional was NFS, SSH, FTP, and SAMBA servers.

Once my SMS Server was up and running I wanted to get to the KDE Desktop.
I used the following commands to initialize, and start the Desktop GUI.
[code]
xconf
startx
[/code]


There are several good references for using CUPS as your printer server.

Before configuring my printer I downloaded the ppd file for my Brother HL-2140
Laserjet Printer, as per the OpenPrinting CUPS Quick Start.  This HL-2140.ppd file
was copied to /etc/cups/ppd/ on my SMS Server as well as all my Laptops.

From the KDE Desktop I configured my Brother HL-2140 for a LOCAL, SHARED Printer
through the CUPS configuration at http://localhost:631.
(If you elect to not install the KDE Desktop GUI, you can use your Laptop with
http://[yourserverIPaddress]:631 to configure your Printer remotely.)

Then I unplugged the USB Cable for the Printer and plugged it in again.  Next I did a
test print of a text file from my SMS Server.  Once that was working I needed to set up
my Debian Laptops Network Printing...... 



Setting up your Laptop for printing via Wifi to SMS Server Local Printer:

You can use http://localhost:631 on your Laptop to setup your Printer 


OR USE THE FOLLOWING


SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> PRINTING

ADD -> PRINTER

enter your Laptop password

NETWORK PRINTING -> FIND NETWORK PRINTER

enter your SMS Server STATIC IP Address for Host:
example - mine was ...... Host: 192.168.1.250

Click on FIND

Your Host:, Queue:, and URI: should be found........but you need to VERIFY
that the address in the URI is correct.  If it doesn't VERIFY, then substitute
the SMS Server IP address as follows:

Example:
my Host: contained:
llksmsserver.org:631

and it did not VERIFY, so I changed that to
192.168.1.250:631
which did VERIFY.  Continue with the final few pages of configuration making sure
the Printer is ENABLED under the Policies tab.  Make sure your Printer State is Idle - Ready to Print
in the settings tab.  Then set this Network Printer to be your DEFAULT Printer.

You should be able to print a file from your Laptop.
