Have I died and gone to Linux heaven?

Once upon a time, I had a blog entry on how to share a printer from an Ubuntu box to other PCs within a Local Area Network. Back then, I have to hand edit a few configuration files here and there...

But now, printer sharing on Ubuntu Edgy has been made way much easier than it is used to be that you won't even have to open a terminal. The steps are:

  1. Install printer.
  2. Go to System --> Administration --> Printing --> Global Settings then click on Share Printer.

That's it!

On the Ubuntu Edgy box where you have to share the printer, simply go to System --> Administration --> Printing --> Global Settings then click on Detect LAN Printers then wait for a few seconds and there you see the shared printer automatically detected and installed.

Ain't that sweet?!
