I tried to use a printer in Windows network. It works like Steve says,
Ubuntu recognizes the printer but when I try to print an Office document, it
hangs and doesn't print, the whole Ubuntu system freezes. I don't know if it
is the system's fault or Windows printer doesn't recognize Open Office
documents...
