This bug is many years old but appears still to be active (I'm using Xubuntu 15.10).
The server in my study has a HP printer, which is available to my home network without authentication. This has been working perfectly for years. I just added the printer as a remote SAMBA printer on my laptop, letting the ADD dialog of the Printers utility in All Settings. It browsed the home net and found the printer and configured itself OK, but when I tried printing, I got lots of these: > E [12/Mar/2016:23:02:08 +0000] [Job 373] Session setup failed: > NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE > E [12/Mar/2016:23:02:08 +0000] [Job 373] Tree connect failed > (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) I went back and tried again, and clicked Verify under the authentication dialog. To my surprise, it asked me for a username and password and domain (for my server) which I have never set or used. The printer is not in any group protected by password. All the other (Mac, Win, Droid) computers in the house can print to this printer just fine with no prompting for authentication. Why is Linux getting it wrong? Where on earth is it getting the idea that authentication is required? I found and tried http://brainextender.blogspot.ie/2009/01/ubuntu-intrepid-too-many-failed.html which is recommended on many pages, but this had no effect. ///Peter -- xubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
