Network and Remote Printing with Ubuntu

Chapter 12, "Printing with Ubuntu," discussed how to set up and configure local printers and the associated print services. This section covers configuring printers for sharing and access across a network.

Offices all over the world benefit from using print servers and shared printers. In my office, I have two printers connected to the network via a Mac mini with Ubuntu PPC so that my wife can print from downstairs using a wireless link, and I can print from my three computers in my office. It is a simple thing to do and can bring real productivity benefits, even in small settings.
