howto see xp shared printer

Mr_C · 04-28-2005, 10:40 PM

Xp has HP 840c Laserjet shared. I see it in windows why I try to print but linux doesn't

Code:

 l-(clay@SOL:pts/2)---------------------------------------------------------------------(~)
(%)- smbclient -L homeibm -N    
Domain=[HOMEIBM] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        E$              Disk      Default share
        IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
        print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
        SharedDocs      Disk      
        access          Disk      
        DBK (E)         Disk      
        NV (D)          Disk      
        ADMIN$          Disk      Remote Admin
        C$              Disk      Default share
        Printer         Printer   HP DeskJet 840C/841C/842C/843C
Domain=[HOMEIBM] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------

however smbclient knows the share name is Printer.

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

then I do the localhost:631

Add Printer -> Name: 840c -> Device: "windows printer via samba" -> URL: smb://homeibm/Printer -> Make: HP -> HP840c foomatic/hpijs (recommeded) -> Print test page

Code:

   	Description:
Location:
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
"Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"
Device URI: smb://homeibm/Printer

I don't get it.

Well with errors like: "Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED", would tell me that this is some type of authentication and permissions error on Windows side denying access to the printer..

try
smb://homeibmUser:homeibmPassword@homeibm/Printer

whats the exact syntax for that? with spaces I mean. Isn't there supposed to be a % for separating passwords? ( I tried it and it didn't work)

Of course I know its to do with authentication. However on the XP side I explicitly have simple file sharing to allow (nobody/guest) to access any share. So no passwords should be necessary???

mrcheeks · 04-30-2005, 03:16 PM

so what about that firewall of yours?

Mr_C · 04-30-2005, 03:47 PM

lol what firewall. I don't have any firewalls enabled(2pc home setup). Default iptables config. I don't think it can be related to firewall because smbclient is seeing all smb broadcasts from other pc.

Just an added note, take a look at post 6 above to be sure that the XP box has Unix printing installed...

Mr_C · 04-30-2005, 09:08 PM

thank you, its working now

I did have unix print services enabled but the following parameters were not correct:
smb://workgroup/guest@server/sharename
