On my windows box, I share the printer to user "Guest", and then on the linux box I use
smb://Guest:@SERVERNAME/SHARENAME
You may wish to try with the guest account and the null password.
Hope it helps,
Dan

Hi Folks. I know this is not exactly a laptop problem, but since I'm having it with my laptop I ask it to you. I've got (damn it!) an Epson printer connected to a Windows XP box. The printer is shared with the other computers of the workgroup. One of these computers is mine, which dual boots (with same IP) on linux and windows. I've got samba (smbd and nmbd) running and if I do smbclient //servername/sharename I get the smb prompt and can put stuff and get it printed. However, when I try to configure cups, after I finish I get the following message from the cups web-interface: Description: epson Location: Printer State: processing, accepting jobs. "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...ERROR: SMB tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" Device URI: smb://MATEMATICA11/EPSON82 Furthermore, from the samba log file for the print server I get messages like: [2003/10/01 11:53:36, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_open_connection(201) LDAPS option set...! [2003/10/01 11:53:36, 0] passdb/secrets.c:fetch_ldap_pw(264) fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved! [2003/10/01 11:53:36, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_connect_system(308) ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb Does anybody have any idea what's going on? By the way, I installed the "unix print service" or something like that on the windows machine. Cheers Alessandro
