Network and Remote Printing with Ubuntu
Chapter 1, “Installing Ubuntu and Post-Installation Configuration,” discusses
how to set up and configure local printers and the associated print services.
This section covers configuring printers for sharing and access across a
network.
Offices all around the world benefit from using print servers and shared

This section introduces a quick method of enabling printing from one Linux
workstation to another Linux computer on a LAN. You also learn about SMB
printing using Samba and its utilities. Finally, this section discusses how to
configure network-attached printers and use them to print single or multiple
documents.
Enabling Network Printing on a LAN
If a computer with an attached printer is using Ubuntu and you want to set up
the system for print serving, use the system-config-printer client to
create a new printer, which is available in the menu at System,
Administration, Printing.
You need to install any printers you have to the server as discussed in Chapter
1 , “Installing Ubuntu and Post-Installation Configuration.” (Click Add and
wait a moment, and it is likely that the printer will be detected automatically;
it is probably easy enough that you don’t have to consult the instructions in
Chapter 1.)
Next, open Server, Settings and enable Publish Shared Printers Connected to
This System. Click OK. Right-click any printer’s icon and select Share. That’s
