I am trying to set up my Debian(Woody) laptop(HP Omnibood500) to work in a NT-centric instutution. I started this with very little understanding of networks
I can now mount my NT file share without problems (learning alot about networks in the process) but am having problems with network printing. I decided to use CUPS but it didn't work. In an effort to troubleshoot, I tried to use smbspool directly. I have the following information: Print Server Name: server Print Server Domain: domain Print Server IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Printer Name: printer My NT username username My NT password password I did the following # export DEVICE_URI="smb://username:password@server/printer" # echo $DEVICE_URI smb://username:password@server/printer # smbspool 0 0 0 0 0 mozilla.ps ERROR: cli_connect() failed... ERROR: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success ERROR: cli_connect() failed... ERROR: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success ERROR: cli_connect() failed... ERROR: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success ERROR: cli_connect() failed... ERROR: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...: Success The network information I believe is correct because I was able to print, although inconsistantly, with lprng. It comes straight off a Windows2000 Printer Test Page I have tried many variations for the URI without success. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could best troubleshoot this problem. Or would I be best off going back to lprng, as I seemed to be further along trying to get that to work? Any help would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
