[QUOTE="timinak, post: 1330540, member: 214908"] FYI: I am new to the Mac and the Lion OS, but am familiar with linux. I have a 2011 mac mini with OSX lion (10.7). I have just installed a HP printer on the mac. When I attempt to install this printer for usage on an ubuntu computer, (ubuntu 10.04) the ubuntu System->Adminstration->Printing->Add window does find the printer when I select Find Network Printer, however when I attempt to access the printer by either printing a test page or choosing the [B]Verify[/B] function, I get a dialogue window That requires the following fields 1)username 2)Domain Domain is filled in as [B]WORKGROUP[/B] 3)Password I enter my username for the mac, my password for the mac and the dialogue becomes unresponsive. I have tried this by using both the default WORKGROUP value for domain and the value as entered in my Mac's Network->Advanced->DNS->Search Domains pane. No luck... Perhaps I have not set up sharing properly? If so, under [COLOR="DarkRed"]System Preferences[/COLOR]->[COLOR="DarkRed"]Print and Scan[/COLOR], and I have checked [COLOR="DarkRed"]Share This Printer on the Network[/COLOR]. And I have from the subsequent [COLOR="DarkRed"]Sharing Preferences[/COLOR] dialogue, I have chosen the following two items: 1)Printer Sharing 2)File Sharing Please tell me what else I need to do?
