I'm trying to map a printer that's shared from an XP-Pro box, on our FC2 linux server (so that I can print faxes received by mgetty). I have Samba working, at least in the direction of mapping shares that are hosted on the Linux box. Problem is, I can't seem to go back the other way; I can't get a working connection to any resources hosted on our XP machines.
Going through system-config-printers worked reasonably well, when I supplied an IP instead of the Windows name of the computer with the printer, up until the point of printing a test page. Here's what the error log said:
E [29/Oct/2004:10:38:20 -0400] [Job 1] Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR: Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Output of smbclient -L isn't all-systems-normal either, and looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cups]$ smbclient -L 192.168.1.33 Password: Domain=[D80HM141] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

--------- -------I'm not specifying any password when prompted, because the target host doesn't have any set. (Don't blame me, it's not my doing!...) I never have to supply a username or password when mapping the printer on other XP boxen. So... Something's obviously amiss here. Could it be a Samba misconfiguration? I also get reports of problems contacting the domain master browser in Logwatch, but we're not even running a domain. It is also entirely possible that all of our XP boxen have their network name settings stupidly configured; it was way before I ever arrived here and I wouldn't be surprised if the person who did it had no clue what he was doing. I find it strange that the hostname (D80HM141) shows up as "Domain=".
Thanks as always for all the help!
Cheers, ~Brian
