Hi Folks, I'm fairly new to both Minneapolis and Linux. I figured I'd introduce myself to the list with a shameless request for help. I'm fruitlessly trying to print via CUPS and Samba to printer connected to a Win 2K box named agrippa. I think have traced the problem (or maybe *a* problem) to anonymous Samba connections. I'm not even sure if this is the sort of thing that requires changes to Windows or Linux, but I suspect Linux, because I can print from a Win2K laptop to agrippa just fine. General information: I can access Linux samba shares from agrippa. I can mount agrippa's fileshares from Linux. I can use smbclient to connect to agrippa as a user as follows: istoner at goodmanbrown:~$ smbclient -L agrippa -U istoner added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[ENNUI] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- public Disk E$ Disk Default share c drive Disk IPC$ IPC Remote IPC D$ Disk Default share print$ Disk Printer Drivers grad school Disk download Disk Save Disk Downloads Disk d drive Disk ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin C$ Disk Default share printer Printer Samsung ML-1430 Series Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- I have configured CUPS to print via samba to the windows printer at smb://agrippa/printer, but it doesn't work, thanks to the following error: istoner at goodmanbrown:~$ tail /var/log/cups/error_log E [10/Jun/2003:19:45:21 -0500] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success E [10/Jun/2003:19:46:21 -0500] SMB tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED E [10/Jun/2003:19:46:21 -0500] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success E [10/Jun/2003:19:47:21 -0500] SMB tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED E [10/Jun/2003:19:47:21 -0500] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success And, what I suspect is a different symptom of the same problem, I cannot connect to agrippa anonymously, as follows: istoner at goodmanbrown:~$ smbclient -L agrippa -N added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Anonymous login successful Domain=[ENNUI] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- What do I need to do to allow CUPS print jobs to get through to the Windows 2000 printer? If anyone has had a similar problem, and can point me to some helpful documentation, or recount your troubleshooting experiences, I would much appreciate it. If there is more helpful diagnostic information I can provide, just let me know what it is.
