I'm not sure how ClarkConnect manages the printer or if my response is
really pertinent to your problem, but felt the need to respond as I've
been through the pain of setting up printing on xubuntu recently.
If it is manged through cups, then I recently set up a printer using
cups on my xubuntu laptop. I didn't use the Cups web interface on the
laptop, but rather the config tool found on the Applications menu.
Remote Cups printers are added through the 'Other' option (at first, I
tried ipp) and then supplying the ip address in the format of
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/printers/PrinterName. You obviously have to
choose the make and model of the printer, and then the driver - in my
case I chose hpijs (IIRC) which was recommended for my printer.
