LinuxQuestions.org - CUPS windows printer sharing

Hi guys,

i'm having a damn hard time getting this to work atm. I'm following a guide from this site:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/...ing_to_windows

I've followed everything right up to the first lpadmin line and when i type the command it says i get a response like this:

Code:

root@dafat2:/usr/lib/cups/backend# lpadmin -p RicePrinter -v smb://dafatdude/CanonBub -P /root/inkjet.ppd

lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused

I can't see why this wont let me connect. I can view my windows share using a simple:

Code:

root@dafat2:/usr/lib/cups/backend# smbclient -L dafatdude

added interface ip=192.168.0.14 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

Password:

Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

Do i need to put in a username or a password in the lpadmin part? At the moment there isn't any password to view the shares....

can someone help me out here?
