With a simple URI as above, or do you know > to send domain info in a more friendly way? ;) Yeah, I just connect by simple URI found by gnome-cups-manager. As for the domain, 'DOMAIN\username' is a correct way to do it. I can check in Ubuntu's packages again and see if I have missed patches or something else. The gnome-cups-manager port is based on all of patches from Ubuntu's packages. Or I just can poke around in WindowsXP and test to see if it works for me or not for your problem.
