My HP printer is attached via a USB cable. I also have a laptop running Xubuntu 13.04. I have been going mad trying to get the laptop to find/work with the printer. No matter what I try the printer is not found by the laptop. The printer works fine from the desk top computer. What I do at the moment is send myself an email from the laptop with the document as an attachment. Then I can open and print the attached document from the desk top computer. There must be an easier way?? </blockquote> what Bill said, did you use the CUPS interface in a browser window: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="http://localhost:631/admin">http://localhost:631/admin</a> and is the box checked below the Server Settings: Advanced section for: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'lucida grande', geneva, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; float: none;">Share printers connected to this system <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Paul Cartwright</pre> </body> </html>
