    What ubuntu are you using? With Gnome or KDE? Is samba installed and you are on the same workgroup of the windows box? Something else?

    If gnome, have you tried to install system-config-printer-gnome? Any luck?

    Do you have a System/Administration/Printing menu item or alike? If so, have you tried it?

    Finally, have you googled for the answer or tried anything at all?

    Hope it helps, regards
    Luis
