And now, squid launches!

And thanks to Christopher and Gavin who, through (exactly) 20 e-mails helped me nail down the squid problem to which I have probably 10 hours of my life. Here is the 20th e-mail in the series:

This did it :-)

Using the following command provided by Gavin:
$ sudo chown proxy.proxy /var/spool/squid/ (but changing 'proxy.proxy' to 'squid.squid')
changed the ownership, then using the command provided by Christopher:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/squid start

simply worked. Thanks Gents!

Oh yea, and I was able to add the HP 8000 printer to the network and it too worked perfectly.
