I have some more research and found that there is a problem with Xubuntu 12.04 which we are all using. There is some bug which stops the sharing of a printer. It does not appear to be sorted yet. I chose that version for us all as it is an LTS version. Oh well, there are ways around it and I do not need to print from the laptops very often.On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 11:27:02AM +0100, Neil Winchurst wrote:I have a desktop computer with an HP Photosmart 5520 printer connected via USB and working well. I also look after 3 laptops, mine, the wife's and the daughter's. I have set up shared printing on CUPS on both the desktop and on one of the laptops. When I try out a test print using open office on the laptop the printer is found and I ask it to print but nothing happens. When I check on the laptop I see that the job is there but 'The printer is not responding'. Checking on the desktop the queue is empty. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please, or perhaps what I am not doing right.I have the same problem printing to the office printer Sharp MX-4100N I keep meaning to try and find the problem but I am not sure where the problem is
