ReadyNAS Ultra 2 - printing in Ubuntu doesn't work

You are using your NAS as I do mine as a central file server for all the machines. By the time I added my NAS, I had to replace my original Laserjet and added a color one, and made sure they were network capable when I bought them. I have done tests for using the NAS as a print server (using my ancient inkjet that is retired) to help members with setups. I have set up print shareing in Win2K, XP and Vista, but have never tried it in Ubuntu. (Actually the time I experimented with Ubuntu, I couldn't even get to talk to the NAS. That the the inability to get it to use the wireless card in my older HP laptop, caused me to wipe the disk and put the live CD in the archive box.

I agree that uplugging and plugging a printer every time you want to use it is a PITA. That was the reason I installed my network in the first place (but at that point I was using a PC as a print server, and all my machines had XP on them (pre-NAS as well).

Hang in there and maybe someone who has a lot of experience in Ubuntu will see this discussion.
