* Once you install the driver, you can check the Printers and Faxes to see if it is installed. Although it says '''''Access denied, unable to connect''''', it is working. For some reason, it only periodically displays '''''Ready''''' on my machine, but it is connected. Print a test page. If all works well, you should see it in a matter of seconds.

Optional:
The printer status message problem can be corrected by adding the following line to the '''/etc/samba/smb.conf''' file under the '''''printers''''' section:
[printers]
use client driver = yes
This must be done on the server using terminal. Then, restart samba by entering '''/etc/init.d/smb restart''' and the message should now display ready on the client machine.
This worked great on my network, but may require some additional adjustments for others.
