Wireless printing

[Ole Andersen]

Hi - i´m using vista on my laptop, and ubuntu 8,04 on my desktop.
My desktop is printing without any problems to my Hp4270. I want my vista laptop to print wireless through the ubuntu desktop - but i keep on having problems getting access to the printer.

I´m allready sharing some folder with [I]samba[I] and thats just great.
Can anyone give me a hint or walkthrougt as to how this is done?
Am i suppose to have a special vista/linux driver or??

you need to download the drivers for your printer for windows
Then install a new network printer with ip of your ubuntu server
\\ip_ubuntu\printer_name

Make sure you tick the box on ubuntu server to share published printers
