You might post back and tell what you have done so far and what did not work. Maybe I or someone else can help.


Here are the printer links:

If the printer is connected to a Windows box:

If the printer is connected to an Ubuntu box:

Please note:  One of the problems that comes up with both Print sharing and file sharing is that the computers are not in the same "Workgroup"  We cannot tell if you have that problem until you describe what you are looking at on your screen.  You also need to take the steps to share the files before you can fix this problem.
