Unhappy how do I find and use a network printer on xubuntu?


I have installed smb4k so I can see the network and retrieve shared files.
I can see the printer on the network
How do I use that printer for printing?

Hi Pinkhippochic, If the printer is already shared try configuring it through the cups interface.
Code:
http://localhost:631
There is more here.

Good luck. ;-)
