Thanks, I did try that, but I'll try it again, but even after I did this
before I still could not print to the XP shared printer...

Well as I previously emailed in there is no doubt the new samba
package is almost completely broken and needs to have a hot fix asap.
What I did was go here ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/0.7/os/i686/ and grab
the samba package from this directory. Download it to your machine
then run a pacman -R samba then pacman -U /home/username/sambapackage
. That fix's the issue until the samba package maintainer corrects the
problem.

Hi all,
I'm new to the mailing list, but have been using Arch for over a year
now.
I've just recently started to have problems printing to my shared
printer that is connected to my desktop XP box. Within the last
month, samba/cups printing was broken...
I started digging around, and read on the mailing list archives
about other people having problems with the current samba package and
dug into the abs samba folder. There is a GCC 4 patch in there that
is messing around with something when the samba package is built on a
GCC 3 install. As noted by others in the mailing list, doing a
smbclient -V does not function on the current package, however, I
rebuilt it from abs without the GCC 4 patch and now it does work
correctly.
However, even after getting the samba package "working" (I use the
term loosely) correctly, I still get strange errors when trying to
print via cups/samba. All sorts of errors from "Tree connect failed"
to "client-error-forbidden"...so something is clearly still wrong
with either samba or cups...or both.
I can absolutely verify that nothing has changed on the XP box that
the printer is connected to, since I don't use it for anything other
than basic print server and dvd burner...
Any ideas??
