Does Ubuntu support network printing?

I have mostly experience in Windows and general Networking, but couldn't get Ubuntu to print for the life of me.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop and a HP Laser Printer on a PS101 (at 192.168.4.99).

To do this in windows I add an IP Port and away we go, but I don't see any way to do this in Ubuntu.

I like the look and feel of Ubunti and I'd really to recommend it, but I can't even seem to get it to print!

Go to the printer section and choose either HP or LPD printing and pop in the IP address. that's all there is to it. I have several Ubuntu machines hooked up to my network printer at work.

Looks like your life is over now.

System -> printing -> add new printer -> NETWORK PRINTER -> LPD or HP Jet will work
