I can connect to my shared printer, but I have to use the following 
syntax for the device URI which is not obvious:
smb://Guest:@machine/printer

It used to be sufficient to write

smb://machine/printer

Not many users will figure this out. The printer is shared 
promiscuously: i.e., no password is need to connect, and smbclient can 
print to the device using the straighforward syntax: //machine/printer
