If so, then did you do "Desktop/Administration/Printing" (I think that's the right way to get the gnome-cups-manager in warty)? I've never had a problem accessing a windows-shared printer by doing "New Printer" to get the "Add a Printer" wizard. Select "Network Printer" and "Windows Printer (SMB)". Type in the windows hostname and the printer name, then click "Forward". Select the Manufacturer of the printer and the model name. Then just click "Apply". Your printer should appear in your "Printers" window. Right click/Properties it, and try to print a test page. I don't think that has failed for me. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Michael R Head <<A HREF="mailto:burner@suppressingfire.org">burner@suppressingfire.org</A>> GPG: http://www.suppressingfire.org/~burner/gpg.key.txt (ID 23A02B1F) </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
