    I'm relatively new to elementaryOS Freya. I am trying to connect to a Windows Shared Printer. I'm stuck at 'Add Printer' since nothing shows. I even installed Samba for file sharing and change the workgroup to our network. I thought it would be easy adding printers since it is debian/ubuntu based. Ended up asking here.

    Hi Ryan

    Have you tried both add printer options? You'll find two similar icons:

    One of them is "system-config-printer" , the other one is "gsd-printer"
