How to install Ubuntu prints manager ?

Hello,

You can download CUPS who is a Print Server. This software manages print jobs and using IPP provides network printing. Also have auto-detections of network printers and many other features. You can see anything that support Samba, JetDirect and other lpd *nix printers. You can install by opening terminal prompt and type:
sudo apt-get install cups
For more details about installation and configuration you can check on this website: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/cups.html
