[Novalug] Still seek suggestions printer failure only from Ubuntu

I am still learning about the depths of networking myself, but have been
able to browse my roommate's Windows resources from Ubuntu with no
special configuration.  I just go to: Places > Network Servers and
browse from there.

I know it isn't an ideal solution because it relies on a Winblows
machine, but if you share the printer out from a connected Windows box
(right-click the printer > Sharing) I think you'll be able to see it
under Network Servers.
