[PLUG] Debugging odd effect a Slackware machine has on a network printer

Finally getting to this.
Machine details: AMD-K6 3D+, 333.114 MHz, 196 Mb RAM
KDE version : 3.5.4
User: rsteff
Hostname: Slack-2
System: Linux
Release: 2.4.33.3
Machine: i586

cron.daily: lograte* slocate*
cron.weekly: (none)
cron.monthly: (none)
root's crontab has only the instructions to run the hourly, daily,
weekly, and monthly sets.
There is no crontab for the one ordinary user, rsteff.
As far as what services are running, does the output of ps ax answer the
question? (It's below.)
What tool do I use on Slackware? If it's to not use a tool, but do it
from the command line, is there some tool I would need to disable?
On SuSE, I start and stop things using YaST. As I recall, the few times
I tried to configure something from the command line in SuSE, my success
rate was low; either nothing happened, or sometime later I discovered
that it had changed back. When I use YaST, it works.
The machine has been running for a couple of hours and so far, no issue
with the network printer. On the other hand, my wife reminds me that it
was several days before the problem showed up. I don't recall if that's
true, but I have no reason to doubt her, either.
One other issue for now: SAMBA is working, and I can see the files on
Slack-2 from this machine. httpd is running, and from Firefox on Slack-2
I can connect to http://localhost/ and see index.html correctly
displayed. However, I can't connect to it from Firefox on this machine.
If I enter slack-2 in the Firefox address box, I get a Google page. On
the other hand, if I enter slack-2 in the Firefox address box on my XP
laptop, I do get the right page. Also, I can ssh from Slack-2 to this
machine, but not from this machine to Slack-2.
> ssh slack-2
ssh: slack-2: Name or service not known
That sounds like a problem on this machine, but I don't know what to
look for.
