I use the same setup (cups) and it works as you describe for every box I 
have except for the Ubuntu box. When I boot it up it doesn't see the 
printer. Cups appears to be installed.

Does anyone know if this is normal for Ubuntu? I thought it should work 
without having to go through the setup routine of specifying URI, 
drivers, etc.

Thanks,

John.
