Hi guys, please bear with me as I'm new to Linux, so any replies need to be written in idiot friendly.

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old box to use as an office print/fax and file server. I tried the server edition but I had no chance with command line programming so I've just used normal Ubuntu.

Ubuntu itself is working fine and I've installed my HP Officejet printer and it's fully working on the Ubuntu box. SAMBA and CUPS are installed.

I've then added the printer onto my Vista machine and here's where the fun starts. The Vista box sees the printer on Ubuntu, adds it with no problem and happily prints test pages, but I can't get it printing anything else.

I can't for the life of me find any reason why it would print a test page, but not print from Word, adobe or even a browser.

Any idea's? And please remember, keep it simple please?

Cheers
