[xubuntu-users] Sharing printers

Hey all,

I got my printer installed easy as pie on my local 
Xu machine, but another one on the network 
couldn't see it, even though it is marked shared 
under Settings -> Printing.

This is what I did on the second machine (they are 
both on a simple LAN here):

Settings -> Printing -> New Printer

I then gave it a name in the three fields:
HP-1022

Then I hit the forward button where it asks me to 
Select Connection and has a field for Device URI, 
but I'm not sure what do to here.

Can I provide the Device URI of the printer on my 
own machine here so the remote machine I am 
attempting to configure find it?

Not sure how to get this URI.

Any help, as always, greatly appreciated.

Printer is a HP Laserjet 1022.
