I have been trying to configure the HP Photosmart C4200 printer attached to my Ubuntu server running Jaunty to be shared over my LAN with a Macbook running 10.5.7. I have installed the printer through the CUPS web interface and was able to print a test page from there, but I am unable to get any farther than that. I am fairly new to linux and I thank everyone in advance for all the help. My configuration file is below:

Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
# Share local printers on the local network.
