Your best bet is to create an ssh tunnel in from your own ubuntu machine like so: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3456:loclahost:631 then, when you browse to localhost:3456 - it'll forward to localhost:631 on your printer server. That just makes the configuration options make sense (remote admin is disabled by default - but to the box you now look like a localhost user). Then it's pretty much a nice standard web-based GUI for configuration. Best of Luck!
