Hi, I'm trying to print on a Windows Share printer using CUPS, my printer.conf file looks like this: <printer smb> DeviceURI smb://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/V6E05IB1 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> When I send a print job I got this message in cups's log file: E [31/Oct/2003:13:32:07 -0600] cli_session_request() failed... E [31/Oct/2003:13:32:07 -0600] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success the command that CUPS use is: root 8851 8490 0 13:20 ? 00:00:00 smb://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/V6E05IB1 1 root testprint.ps 1 page-top=36 pag I'm sure that the printer name and print server are correct because I can send data to the printer using smbclient like this: [pedsgrr2@edsgrr00 tmp]$ smbclient //150.100.56.16/V6E05IB1 -U user%password -P added interface ip=150.100.106.33 bcast=150.100.106.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session request to 150.100.56.16 failed (Called name not present) session request to 150 failed (Called name not present) Domain=[CB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] smb: \> translate CR/LF<->LF and print text translation now on smb: \> put smbprint putting file smbprint as \smbprint (33.8 kb/s) (average 33.8 kb/s) smb: \> I want to expand the use of linux in this place, but I can't do this if I can't print...
