Hi, it's an Epson CX 3600, so there are drivers for it in Ubuntu. I 
think I mentioned that it prints OK from the actual laptop (Feisty), and 
from a remote XP too. Samba is set with "share" authentication, to avoid 
the use of passwords etc. I can certainly browse other samba shares on 
the print server, in fact I have only one share, and that is accessed OK 
by Ubuntu Dapper, Ubuntu Feisty, OS X Tiger and Win XP.
Everything seems to work swimmingly except when it comes to getting 
Linux to Linux printing. :/
