Hi, I am trying to print from my Debian unstable Notebook to a printer that is connected to a Windows 2000 Server. Target environment is CUPS which uses smbspool as a front-end, and smbspool gives a strange error message.
| export DEVICE_URI="smb://account:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/server/printer" | smbspool foo bar Title 1 ignore Makefile gives the error message | ERROR: ERRHRD - ERRgeneral (General failure.) opening remote file Title Same thing happens with | export DEVICE_URI="smb://domain\account:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/printer" When I use a different (wrong) password, the error message changes to access denied, so I believe the account is OK. When I boot my notebook with windows, I can print to that printer with the account in question. So the Windows people say that the server is fine. Am I doing something wrong with smbspool? Any hints will be appreciated. I will be on site again on Friday, so I won't reply to answers until I have tried what you suggested. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
