ReadyNAS Ultra 2 - printing in Ubuntu doesn't work
Hello For a couple of days I'm a happy owner of ReadyNAS Ultra 2, RAIDiator 4.2.19. Everything works like a charm, even setting up a git repo ;-) I've connected to the NAS my printer, Samsung ML-2...
I've finally managed to get my printer working in Ubuntu 11.10 as I planned.
The idea is to print via Samba as described https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/883585 and http://planetlotus.org/profiles/ben-poole_94582.
In short:
1. Find out the name of your printer as it appears in your NAS (go to http://your-nas-ip:631 and copy), it was ML-2010 in my case
2. as Device URI in ubuntu use smb://your-nas-ip/printer-name, it was smb://readynas/ML-2010.
Hope that helps.
