Sharing printers can also require some tweaking but, for me (with the kinds of printers I have) things work okay across Windows/Ubuntu.</div> <div><br></div><div>If you can't access the Ubuntu system from your Windows machine, try accessing the Windows machine from your Ubuntu system - or vice versa.</div><div><br></div><div>It sounds like you saved the files okay (but having a backup on a network drive.)
