+1 im experiencing the same problem, i can not use a printer share on linux at all, i already tried:
WinXP (shared printer) to Suse 10.2 (client) WinXP (shared printer) to Ubuntu 6.04 (client) Suse 10.2 (share via Samba) to Ubuntu 6.04 (client) neither worked. I always get the: Ready: /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed or Paused: /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed error! i have done all the lates updates! YET !!!!!!::: Suse 10.2 (share via Samba) to WinXP client works perfect! I just had to choose the right driver. no authentication needed at all. I could start printing immediately. -- cups smb printing backend no longer works https://launchpad.net/bugs/39484 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
