hi

i run 8.04 desktop and am trying to print to a printer running on an ubuntu server

the printer works fine as it is used already by a number of XP clients

i install the printer from system>admin>printing, go through the wizard, the printer is seen as an smb//: location, the supposedly correct foomatic driver is installed, all seems good ...

but it just doesn't work !!

trying to print a test page and i get stuck on 'processing'

:confused:

how do i start to troubleshoot this please anyone ??

thanks
