Psst, Snowhog: localhost:631 is the CUPS internal configuration... send people there first. It works the best.

That went over my head! What does this information mean?

I think you can skip the first, and go straight to "Or (b) ...:

System->Administration->Printing.

2. Under Server Settings check, i.e, turn on, the Share published connected to this system printers.

3. Click on the Apply button;

"System" refer to the application started from the lower part of the "start menu"

Can you tell me where you see "System > Administration > Printing" in Kubuntu?

Ooops, forgot the first part:

When you want to use ubuntu graphical tools for things like this, it is first in "Command line mode" (sorry, my PC is at the moment not using English) :

Kdesu kcontrol.

This will take you into the "system Settings" of how thigs are don in Ubuntu

For those of you who know this stuff, what I am about to say is pretty obvious. But for those people, like me, who are still learning their way around Linux, here's a set of instructions for adding the CUPS management utility to your K menu for easy access:
1. Right click on the K Menu
2. Choose Panel Menu > Configure Panel
3. In the "Configure - KDE Panel" window, click "Menus"
4. Click the "Edit K Menu" button
5. In the "KDE Menu Editor" window, click on the menu where you want to add the CUPS tool
6. Click "New Item" and enter a name (such as "Manage Printing), then click "OK"
7. In the "Command:" field, enter the following line: konqueror http://localhost:631/
8. Click "Save" then click "Quit"

You should now see the "Manage Printing" service open from the K menu. It should take you directly to the CUPS management screen.
