HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One setup

To setup this printer, do the following:
[list:al5a3n8t]
[*:al5a3n8t]Install the printer driver from the original HP CD (labeled [b:al5a3n8t]HP Photosmart C6100 Series[/b:al5a3n8t]). Be sure the printer is NOT connected (USB or Ethernet cables) until prompted. For best results, only connect with USB until fully installed.[/*:m:al5a3n8t]
[*:al5a3n8t]Once the driver has been installed, install/upgrade the Photosmart software to v10.0. This will include the Device Imaging monitor software, which allows you to scan to the computer from the device panel buttons.[/*:m:al5a3n8t][/list:u:al5a3n8t]

Linksys router – How to setup SSHD

[b:x9yq798b]What is SSH?[/b:x9yq798b]
Developed by SSH Communications Security Ltd., Secure Shell is a program to log into the Linksys router while providing strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. (ie the Internet).
How to Setup SSH Public Keys Via Putty
Here’s how you can get public-key based SSHaccess to your Linksys WRT54G router:
[list:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Get [b:x9yq798b]PuTTY [/b:x9yq798b] [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Get [b:x9yq798b]PuTTYgen [/b:x9yq798b] [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Run PuTTYgen, select [b:x9yq798b]SSH2 RSA [/b:x9yq798b]as parameters, [b:x9yq798b]1024 bits[/b:x9yq798b]. Press [b:x9yq798b]Generate[/b:x9yq798b]. It will create a public/private key pair from your mouse movements. Be sure to setup a key pair that includes a passphrase to prompt for this password before allowing a connection (added security). [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Change comment to [email][email protected][/email]. This step is not necessary, but I believe it simplifies the login because putty will use username as default login. [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Save both keys to files but DON’T close PuTTYgen yet. Open the [b:x9yq798b]Public [/b:x9yq798b]key file and select everything and copy it onto the clipboard. [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Open the WRT54G management page, [b:x9yq798b]Enable SSHD[/b:x9yq798b], select a non-standard port if you want extra security (22 is the default), and then paste the Public key text into the [b:x9yq798b]Authorized Keys [/b:x9yq798b]field.
[b:x9yq798b]Note: [/b:x9yq798b]You should enable Password login at this point if you like- it does not appear to interfere with public key login and gives you the possibility to login with a password from unknown hosts.

[*:x9yq798b] Time to run PuTTY! Enter the IP address of your router under host name, switch [b:x9yq798b]Protocol [/b:x9yq798b]to [b:x9yq798b]SSH[/b:x9yq798b], under [b:x9yq798b]Connection->Auto-login username [/b:x9yq798b]to [b:x9yq798b]root [/b:x9yq798b]and [b:x9yq798b]MOST IMPORTANT[/b:x9yq798b]: point [b:x9yq798b]Connection->SSH->Auth->Private [/b:x9yq798b]key file for authentication to the file you saved your private key in. [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]Since you don’t want PuTTY to forget all this stuff you finally put some profile name (e.g. WRT54G) below [b:x9yq798b]Session->Saved Sessions [/b:x9yq798b]and press [b:x9yq798b]Save[/b:x9yq798b]. [/*:m:x9yq798b]
[*:x9yq798b]The moment of truth: press [b:x9yq798b]Open [/b:x9yq798b]in PuTTY and cross your fingers. If you did everything right, you should get a logon prompt for a password, after this text (or similar):
[size=85:x9yq798b]Using username “root”. Authenticating with public key [/size:x9yq798b][[email protected]][size=85:x9yq798b][email protected][/size:x9yq798b][/email]
[The password to enter is the password used to logon to the router.] [/*:m:x9yq798b][/list:u:x9yq798b][b:x9yq798b]Putty settings[/b:x9yq798b]

Make sure that the port you [b:x9yq798b]Add [/b:x9yq798b]here matches the one configured on the Linksys router.

[b:x9yq798b]Configure Firefox (and other programs)[/b:x9yq798b]
These settings will configure Firefox to use the SSH tunnel as your proxy, but you should be able to configure other programs, such as Thunderbird the same way.
Go to [b:x9yq798b]Tools, Options, General[/b:x9yq798b], and then click on [b:x9yq798b]Connection Settingsā€¦[/b:x9yq798b]

Check [b:x9yq798b]Manual Proxy Configuration[/b:x9yq798b], leave most of the fields blank, but fill in [b:x9yq798b]127.0.0.1 [/b:x9yq798b]for the [b:x9yq798b]SOCKS v5 [/b:x9yq798b]host with a port of 7070(or whatever you used above).

[b:x9yq798b]Troubleshooting[/b:x9yq798b]
When logging on with Putty, if you get an error “Server refused our key”, it could mean that the public key text wasn’t entered properly on the router.

When using puttygen, the public key file that it saves is not in a format to use in the authorized_keys file. At the top of the puttygen window after you generate the key is a text box with the heading “Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file”. That is what should be put into your authorized_keys file.
