Hi. I am running Ubuntu Intrepid Beta in VMWare Fusion 2. I want to connect Ubuntu to the cups server on my Mac so that I can use a network printer that doesn't work under linux. So I go into System > Adiminstration > Printing, then I choose Server > Connect and then enter the IP address of my iMac. After clicking on connect the list of the printers that I have set up on my iMac appear, but when I go to a program to print a document the printers don't appear in the print window. Is there any reason why this is?

I'm not a printing expert, but does the following help out any:
