[SOLVED] Linux printer Sharing

Hi, I have a little different problem. I want to share a printer between two Linux machines. The box that has the printer connected to it has Zorn Ultimate 5.0 installed and the box I'm trying to connect to the printer has Mintlinux LXDE 12.0 Installed. I can connect to a Windows box just fine but when I try to connect to another Linux box it doesn't seem to work. I have set the Server setting "Show printers connected to this system" on and I can see the printer when I set it up on the Mint box but when I try to print a test page nothing. I can also see it through samba but it requires a password and does not accept the password that has been set.

I know it can't be that hard and I'm just doing something wrong.

Thanks
Bill
