No. Don't use samba. Samba is for a printer shared on a Windows network. The reason you bought the print server is to free you from the network shared printer.
You use ipp. Set up the print server with a static ip address such as 192.168.x.x. The print server will assign a port. Then you install the printer as a net work printer using ipp and provide the ip address and port. Here is a method that is a bit dated but is the basic idea: http://www.howtoforge.com/ipp_based_print_server_cups Also see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516747 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-32692.html Roy Linux: Fast, friendly, flexible and .... free!

I bought a D-Link server and got it working with my main Windows XP machine. Next I tried to get it working on my laptop running Ubuntu 8.04 and I am stumped. Can anybody help or point me to some documentation. I tried the printer setup in Gnome, but I did not get that to work. Maybe I should try cups??
