Alright, so I got the computer name, which is just ubuntu. And it still isn’t working. Is there anything wrong with this? http://ubuntu:631/printers/psc-1310-series-

I’m not familiar with the Windows installer. That being said, if you can open the terminal or SSH into it, you can log in with your username and password, and type hostname and it’ll give you the server’s name. If you have a desktop package on there, you can open the terminal with Applications > Accessories > Terminal.

Well I just used the windows installer to install ubuntu, and I remember picking a username and password, but I don’t recall it asking for a computer name. Would it be the name of what I named it on the windows partition?

@Tyler: It's the name of the computer where Ubuntu is installed. You pick this during the installation process.
