Hi folks, I'm trying to configure a win2k printer via CUPS but I dont get it!!
The win2k is the 10.0.0.24 and the printer name is 'okib4300' in the URI section in CUPS, I put 'smb://supervisor@10.0.0.24/okib4300'
'supervisor' is the user allowed to access the machine.
But whenever I send a print test page, it returns me: "Tree connect failed" and then doesnt prints.
I've searched on error_log and find it:

But I can do an smbmount on this machine that I have any problem to mount any directory...but print I cant do

Does anybody can help me??

Regards

Looks like you forgot the supervisor's password.
'smb://supervisor:PASSWORDHERE@10.0.0.24/okib4300'

I am just guessing...

The supervidor just doesnt have password

Try this command as a regular user:

$ smbclient //10.0.0.24/okib4300 -U supervisor

if you get the smbclient prompt "smb: \>" them you have access to it and the problem is in another place.

I already have a problem acessing the smb shares without a password. This is why I want to check if the password less access is working.

If you don't get the smbclient prompt, try to add a password for this account and try again with smbclient, this time adding a password to the "-U supervisor:PASSWORDHERE".

I tried the command you gave me, was asked me a password and I leave it clean, just "enter" and I got this:


root@du# smbclient //10.0.0.24/okib4300 -U supervisor
Password:
Domain=[MINSVRBD] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \> ls
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \*

0 blocks of size 0. 0 blocks available
smb: \>


Have you any idea of what can be this error??
Thanks bro!!!

It's normal in this case. You can issue the ls just for directories. I don't know what is the valid command for a printer.

Note that even you don't supply a password it asked one for you.
I think that is the problem.
Try to add a password for this account. Them repeat this command with the -U supervisorassword and at this time no password it will be asked and you will have immediate access. If so, just put the same password in the smb url above. It should work now.

Why not add the printer through the web interface? It's a tad easier...

Good idea...this is how I configured my HP printer using cups...

Point yr browser to

http://localhost:631/

Was the first thing I tried, but doesnt work and now I must know where is the error...cuz the printer doesnt prints anyway...

This is the response I see when I try the command "smbclient -L 10.0.0.24 -U supervisor -N" it doesnt asks a passwork, but give some strange message in "session request..."


root@du:/etc/cups# smbclient -L 10.0.0.24 -U supervisor -N

I insist. Use a password for the supervisor account. I already had that problem once and I fixed by assigning a password to the printer account.

I don't known where is the problem: CUPS, SAMBA or Windows. For me, at that point, was important to put the printer to work. I never go back to found the roots of the problem.

If you may want to understand what is going on, assign the password to the supervisor account.
It may work or not. If not work, at least we can put aside that password issue.
If works you may google for a fix for a specific problem (null password) or search/post at samba's mailing lists.

good luck,

PS: Please, if you do that, post your results back here. I'm really interested in your findings.

Yo man, it works!!!!
I just created another user, called test with pass = test ...and put smb://test:test@..... and worked!!!
Thanx a lot!!! Very helpful!!
