Problem with setting up a network printer in linux
Hello, I have a HP officejet printer connected to one of my computer which is running Windows XP SP1. I have another computer with Red Hat Linux 9.0 installed. i connected these two computers via NIC cards, and they both can ping each other. i shared my printer in WIN XP environment, and I followed the normal printer configuration step in linux to setup the HP printer remotely in linux. in the setup wizzard, i can successfully view the shared printer, but i cannot go to the next step, since everytime i click the proceed button, it pops up a dialog box asking for username and password. i tried all the possible username/password combinations, both in linux and in windows, but the dialog keeps poping up and i cannot go to the next stage.
What was going wrong there???
Thanks for any help!
