i have yet to figure out how to get *buntu to share anything.  i can not 
ssh into it, i can not use cupsd to share out my printer, etc...  as far 
as i can tell the entire *buntu line of distros is locked down some how 
on standard services for linux.  put that printer on a different linux 
box and i bet it will work for you.
