I'm using Lycoris Desktop/LX update 4 (shutup)

I can't see the printer. Actually, I can. But when it gets to the test printer page after the drivers page, it says "Could not start virtual printer" or something like that.


Any ideas?

It can. you can set it up via Samba. Use a RAW printer on the Linux side and let the Windows driver to the rastering: the Windows driver is pretty much always better than the Linux one.
