i am running ubuntu server with Cups installed I have my Samsung Ml 1610 printer working, but it wont work on Mac osx. I share the printer through the ip address 192.168.2.4:631

Is there anything I am missing?

Printer sharing is enabled on ubuntu.

If this helps any Mac osx gurus:

[-0600] Unable to encrypt connection from 192.168.2.2(My macbook) - A record packet with illegal version was received.
 
Here is the configure file:

On OS X there are two kinds of printer driver - Carbon (monolithic) drivers and CUPS-style drivers. CUPS-style are just like those on Ubuntu. Monolithic means all in one - the drivers most manufacturers of non-postscript printers provide are this type. If your printer just has a USB connection, then the manufacturer only included USB comm in its driver. You need a CUPS-style driver to print through the Ubuntu server. Look for one here:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx
(the Samsung-gdi driver might work)

PS - it is possible that someone has worked out how to print using the monolithic driver using the Apple Bonjour Mac-to-Mac sharing technology - using mDNS and Avahi on linux - but I haven't seen it yet.

Thanks for the help i reinstalled the printer with the ppd file and the .dmg file that was on the website. And now I am getting this error:

You need to install software to use this printer. To install the software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer isn’t available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer.
 
Most of the drivers sets on that page require three separate download and installs - did you do all 3?
 
So where did you get that ppd file? A ppd file tells CUPS what driver to use. Your error means you are trying to use a ppd that doesn't match the driver(s) installed.
