Thread: Ubuntu and Windows printers
hello there
have been using ubuntu few years @ home without issues.
kicked out vista on work laptop (running virtual machine) , decided go x64 bit version of ubuntu jaunty. part, works well. well. dual screen setup worked (nearly) out of box. done.
of work done through vista virtual server though, find myself doing more , more ubuntu.
here issue; printing on windows network. don't me started on one. granted, not linux savvy person out there and, there thousands of hacks available, why cant browse windows printers on our win2003 file server? can mac , vista computer. on domain, can access shares, printers? why ubuntu printing application default start scanning network , die? says "searching printers" , after 10 minutes rolls on , die... why cant choose ip/server name/printer name add directly? not driver issue since haven't gotten actual printers yet (yes, looking forward too...) causing this?
can add local printer without problems.
sorry rant. big fan of ubuntu. frustrated printing stuff...
thanks..
