First my experience:
I'm newish to linux (I've played around with Debian before), but am very comfortable in windows.
I set up a computer with Kubuntu (Dapper) on it to play around and learn about it... Everything set up and worked flawlessly (This has been my best Linux experience ever).... However
I can't seem to install my network printer. It is on a Windows 2003 server machine, an Epson Stylus Color r200. I installed the linux printing extras on it.
I add printer, select windows (smb) from the list, fill in the info. I click scan. I can see my work group, but the printer does not appear. I also do not see it when browsing the network (though I see all my other shares and can read/write files to the server). Oddly however I found a command I type in on the command line (which escapes me a the moment), and that seems to list all of my shares (including the printer) on the list.
If I just click next, and install the driver it doesn't work.
My windows computers can browse it fine, and install the network.
Any ideas?
