I need some hand holding here.

I'm new to ubuntu (Feisty Fawn; latest version) and never had a
MacBook before (new to OS X also). Can some of you tell me how to
print to the printer attached (by wire) to the ubuntu box from the
the MacBook.

Thanks.

Tangent to original subject (followups set accordingly):

I've been a Mac user for ages, but I've hated all mice Apple has
produced since they switched to USB. Their last decent mouse was the
final ADB one (circa 1997).

I started using a third party 2-button mouse then, and since then have
been using third party 2-button mice with a scrollwheel. My current
preferred brand is Logitech, and my main portable mouse is the V450
model.

On my MacBook Pro, I have no problem with the single trackpad button,
because the trackpad supports two-finger tap to do a right click, and
two-finger drag to scroll.

I can relate.

I'm also new to Mac, must say that I have no idea what all the fuss
was about, and I really hate the one button thing. It only took about
two hours to find this on line (this time). I just had to set it back
up this week, I screwed it up trying to dual boot Vista and had to
reinstall. Partition management for GPT sucks royally.

Assuming you have CUPS running on Ubuntu.

On MAC:

Attempt to print, click on Press button next to print (Add printer or
Print and Fax prefs) select Add Printer, at the bottom of the Printer
Browser, click on More Printers, In the top drop down box select
Windows Printing, in the one underneath select your Workgroup, you may
need to browse through Network Neighborhood. Select your printer
below.

Good Luck,

Michael C.
