XP print to Linux SAMBA issue - cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

Hi,

I have two PCs, PC1 (Linux, printer attached) and PC2 (XP / Linux) successfully configured with CUPS so that PC1 (Linux) prints, and PC2 (Linux) prints on PC1's printer.

I now want PC2 (XP) to print on PC1.

SAMBA/CUPS is configured on PC1, as follows, and PC2 (XP) can see the printer:

smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
workgroup = Mshome
server string = Desktop
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
max log size = 50
security = share
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
max protocol = NT
acl compatibility = winnt
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
map to guest = Bad User
guest ok = yes

[Data]
hide files = $AVG8.VAULT$/5914bf7fe31e8d4044a3239d15937bea/634b5925862386df3ac547db/8de8aa1206ab2c9$
read only = no
path = /Data/
guest ok = yes

[Alex]
path = /home/Alex/
guest ok = yes
read only = no

[Mishelle]
path = /home/Mishelle/
guest ok = yes
read only = no

[Steven]
path = /home/Steven/
guest ok = yes
read only = no

[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
guest account = guest
guest ok = yes
public = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
printer admin = root

[HPDeskjet3550_Linux]
printable = yes
printer name = HPDeskjet3550
guest account = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
printer admin = root
use client driver = yes
comment = HPDeskjet3550 attached to Desktop (Linux)
cupsd.conf:
Code:
# Show troubleshooting information in error_log.

When I send a txt file containing just the characters "test" from PC2 (XP) to PC1, nothing happens. PC1's CUPS access log shows nothing, and the error log shows:

I'm stumped (and brain dead after reading SAMBA posts for the last 2 hrs solid)!

Any help, much appreciated.

Hey have you had any luck with this? I'm having the same sort of problem (trying to use IPP thought). Whenever I try to print to a shared printed, cups isn't receiving any credentials. I get username="".

This goes for both remote (windows computers) and my local computer. I have AuthType Basic specified.

If I set AuthType None - all problems are fixed.

If you haven't fixed this yet.
Try doing this in a terminal (your scripts maybe in init.d)
Code:
env LANG=en_US.UTF8 /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart
env LANG=en_US.UTF8 /etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart
