Hello all, Sometime in the last couple of weeks, I lost my ability to print to the office printer. If I check (KDE) System Settings, the printer's status reads, "Paused - 'Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3 times)'". Everybody else can still use this printer, and there have been no major network reconfiguration events recently. I can't figure out how to bring this back online. I tried to simply re-add the long-existing printer again, but the "Add a New Printer" dialog won't let me browse the network for any printers at all. The [Browse] button under "Windows Printer via SAMBA" is greyed out, so I would have to type the URI by hand. But the URI is correct in the configuration of the current, non-working, printer, as far as I know. Is there any way to figure out why the current printer is offline, beyond "Unable to connect"? Not being able to print is really messing with my workflow.
Well, since it seems to be a Windows printer (e.g. a print spooler running on a Windows box), did they change the authentication at that end? Did you change the firewall settings on your box so that Samba stuff is blocked now? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Never try to outstubborn a cat. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
