Printing from your personal Ubuntu laptop or desktop is supported. If you are sitting at a supported UMIACS Ubuntu LTS desktop then please see our common UNIX/Linux printing documentation for CUPS. This documentation assumes the current Ubuntu LTS 10.04.xx release and while older or new versions of Ubuntu may work we have not tested them.
Please note that printing requires you to be on a UMIACS network so if you have a laptop and use wireless you will need to log into the UMIACS VPN which is covered here for Ubuntu.
