Hi all,
I am a newbie to Linux and decided to go with Ubuntu after having tried 
verious other distros(Sesu9.2, FC2-3, RH9, Mandrake and so on)
I have a bit of a sharing issue:
Home network consists of 2 pcs

Linksys bluebox-as router 192.168.1.1 (handles dhcp distibution 
automatically to two PCs)

pc1-WinXp home-192.168.1.100
pc2-Ubuntu5.04 192.168.1.101

printer Epson Stlus 6600 connected by usb to pc1.
printer set as -shared.
my problem is how do i get to use this printer from my linux(pc2)?

i see the shared folder of windoze box from the linux box(using 
smb://192.168.1.100) no probs there, but what about the printer?

any help would be appreciated.
thanx in advance Ilir
