The changes upstream to the printer management software in GNOME made
this problem disappear starting in Gutsy and in Hardy as well. Marking
it as invalid to close the matter.

adding smb printer difficult on
Scanning for SMB-shared printers works now very well with system-config-
printer. Many problems were solved there. See bug 127152.
If you are on Gutsy you should try the newest version (will appear in
Gutsy after Tribe 5) from
http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/system-config-
If system-config-printer replaces gnome-cups-manager in gutsy the fix
should be done in that package

The above command doesn't work for me. I have a small broadband router

@Till
your command line don't work for me because :
Patrice == 192.168.1.103
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smbclient -N -L 192.168.1.103
session request to 192.168.1.103 failed (Called name not present)

session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called
So we should use a command line based on Netbios names and not on IPs,
like this one
for i in `export LC_ALL=C; findsmb 2 /dev/null | egrep
'^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | tr -s | cut -f2 -d ' ' | uniq |
sort`; do echo $i; echo ---; export LC_ALL=C; smbclient -N
-L $i 2
gnome-cups-manager is not maintained upstream any more, it is about to
be replaced in Edgy+1. See
https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/printerdrake
To improve the scan for SMB/Windows printers in printerdrake (or any
other tool) please cut and paste the following long command line
@Till Kamppeter
Please don't use nmblookup in your long command line because in my case it
don't work at all to find Name of clients.
findsmb has to be used instead of nmblookup
In my case, simple windows98se clients sharing printers

So for you
for i in `export LC_ALL=C; findnmb 2 /dev/null | cut -f 1 -d ' ' |

Below is the output from running it on my home laptop. 192.168.0.1 and
192.168.0.10 are linux machines with samba installed, but no actual
printers shared. The real test will be when I'm on campus.

This bug is still present in edgy. I upgraded gnome-cups-manager and
its dependencies from the edgy repos and it still acts exactly the same.
I'm having a hard time navigating the gnome bug tracker and locating
anything relevant to this. I have not reported it as upstream because I
haven't

When it scans, it should simply not pop up any authentication windows (I
do so in printerdrake in Mandriva). If it cannot obtain info (list of
available printer shares) from a server without any authentication, it
should skip the server. It can still ask for authentication if the user
chooses one
At the suggestion of Michael Vogt, I looked through the gnome bugzilla
for this bug for about 15 minutes, to see if perhaps this is an upstream
problem. I cannot find anything related, but I am also not familiar
with the gnome bugtracker at all. If anyone more familiar with gnome
territory would
