I have a printer issue that I cannot figure out what is going on. Here's the issue:
I run system-config-printer and I select add a network printer. I select the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option and enter
TALOFASYSTEMS/TALOFA01/
and click browse. After a few seconds an SMB Browser popup is displayed with TALOFASYSTEMS as the share name and TALOFA01 as the comment with an arrow in front of the share name. A couple of seconds later I get an authentication popup indicating I need to login to TALOFA01, which is the windows system where the printer is, requiring I enter a username and password. This is the output from s-c-p
Caught non-fatal exception. Traceback:

The username it fills in is root, the domain name is TALOFASYSTEMS. Trying root password returns "Not Authorized the password may be incorrect"
Back in the Fedora 12 time frame I had no problems configuring a printer, to the same system, using samba. Since Fedora 14 I can longer do so.
If I configure the printer on Windows 7 I'm not asked for any authentication information and no authentication information is configured on the windows server side.
Anybody have any pointers as to how to configure a printer via samba?
Also my mother, who is running scientific linux, is having the same problem.
I have stopped iptables service and disabled the firewall and it still fails.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paolo
