Am very frustrated.
I am currently running Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on a Compaq nw9440 laptop.
I had openSUSE 10.3 on here after removing Vista. I eventually got sick o f openSUSE (and a few issues) and went to Vista. After six weeks of frustration I upgraded only now to Ubuntu and have seen the light of Gnome. (I've been bashing Gnome since '05, so this is a big change.)
In any case, my wife is Wintendo-only. She had a Windows 2000 computer, which coincidentally bit the big one last month. She's now got a Vista computer.
When I had openSUSE 10.3 and she Win2K, I had printing down pat via lpd using the instructions found here:

I've since setup TCP printer sharing on her computer (which is different than in Win2K) and have setup my lpd printer on this laptop.
I send a print job to her computer and get a blinking light on the printer and a queue on her desktop showing the print job coming in from my computer and nothing else.
What am I missing?
I did find this page:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...d_from_Windows however, it seems a bit drastic to be messing with registry edits.
Besides - oddly enough - the above-mentioned setup works just fine on my work computer, which is attached to a HP LJ 1320. (I can print just fine from my laptop.)
Ideas?
I can stop the job on her printer by typing in net stop spooler, but that's as far as I've gotten.
