Hello
I'm new, installed Ubuntu 9.04 a week ago on a new harddesk with dual boot to either Ubuntu or XP.
Everything is working fine and startup is pretty fast !!!
I'm having problems installing my printer: Canon i865 installed as a network printer to my NAS Qnap TS-109 through USB.
This works fine in XP for me and the rest of the family (running XP) even though Canon i865 is not a network printer, but I can't make it work i Ubuntu...
In XP the printer is known as \\NAS\NASPR, NAS is the name of the NAS (surprise!!!) , NASPR is the name of the printer (more surprise!!!).
I have tried all of the options under New printer -> Network printer...
I can find the printer and install the driver, but when trying to print a test page I get the message that the printer is not connected.
I can connect to folders on the NAS without problems (well, a very little problem, I'm being prompted for a password, but choosing cancel opens the folder !!!)
I have searched this forum but haven't found any having a problem like mine :-(
Anybody having good ideas about solving this printer problem ???
