Ah yes, the broken Samsung installers.  I've tried to use them and then
had to clean up the mess they left behind because the uninstaller
refuses to run.

Fortunately there's a .deb repo with the drivers, so you don't need to
use Samsung's installers.  Here's how I got my two Samsung printers
(CLP-550N and CLX-6210FX) working:

 Never turn on automatic updates. What for? They all too often break
 things, despite the hype don't do anything for you.

cough if you going to take this path, at least install security
patches. For example in Ubuntu, Install Security Updates without
Confirmation.

 I don't see from the above where the cam10 application is mapped from

Martin,

thanks for your help. I had a couple of goes (two way bet thing, there is
two way to enter, let's try both), anyhow I wasn't getting 'desired
results' and left it for another day, as it was, I realized I had an old
WAG54G, so, I thought I'll try that, (WAG54 also has SNMP so I can feed
that to Cacti, fwiw)

anyhow, with WAG54 I succeeded with exposing desired devices (so far it
seems to work from internal browser using external address:port combo,
something I was not able to get with 2Wire)

so I'll give the WAG a try and see how it goes, next step is to replace
old phone wire with multiple connections + extension cord with new drop
from the MDF direct to router, be interesting if performance will improve

thanks again for all the help
