hi all:
        I try to print from a linux box to a printer 
        connected on a Windows XP box, the two boxes are on 
        the same LAN, samba is latest version (3.0.xxxx)

        I use smbclient '\\server\Printername' -U user

        and gave correct passwd,

        I type 'print' in the samba shell,
        it shows the printed file transmitted to the XP box,

        and I go to the XP box to check on the printer status,
        the job is received, under the owner "Guest"
        but shows "error-printing' , the file name is "remote downlevel
        document',  the XP box doesn't give me any debugging info, so 
        I have no way of knowing why printing doesn't work.

        could anybody tell me the reason it fails? 
        ( i used cups too, but I think cups relies on samba, so this is the
        real cause, and the owner 'Guest' doesn't seem to be wrong, because
        I printed out from another XP client, and the job went through
        correctly under the name 'Guest' )

        thanks a lot
        Yang
