-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Samba] problems accessing printers by UNC path Date: Fri, 04 May 2007 11:40:47 -0700 From: Ray Klassen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: samba@lists.samba.org Recently switched main samba servers and turned up a problem CUPS printers are all published and can be connected to by browsing the server, but if, as I was used to doing, you connect by entering the UNC of the printer directly in the run dialog in windows. you get "\\server\printershare is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions" and the log on the samba box says "printershare is not a valid printer name" "couldn't find service printershare" I've set up lot's of samba boxes before and never seen this. Non-printer UNC's work fine. -- Ray Klassen Computer SysAdmin MCC Supportive Care Services -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- Ray Klassen Computer SysAdmin MCC Supportive Care Services -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Further. What's a concise way to describe this problem. It must have
been encountered before. I usually google all of my issues and find
answers that way. I don't even know what search terms would help me...
