Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and trying to install a network shared printer. The
printer is Epson D88 installed on a Windows 98 System.
I have tried to install via System, Admin, Printer. This is accepted and
verified as being accessible. But when I try to print I receive an error
message - NT Access denied, opening spool test - then it asks for username and
password. It does not accept my credentials.
I have tried to install thro' " http://localhost:631/ " I receive printer
acceptance but have the same problem when trying to print.
I have tried another solution thro' "
http://www.debianadmin.com/yet-another-linux-to-windows-printing-tip.html";
however this does not resolve the problem.
I have also installed " Print Share" thro' "
http://www.printeranywhere.com/download-linux.sdf, I cannot get this to work
either. I have previously raised a question in Launchpad " Open Question
#56043, asked on 2009-01-01 by Mike Bickerdike " - this has not brought a
solution.
WHEN I was using Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 all worked well !!!!!.
My reason for raising a bug report is because I have exhausted all possible
solutions known to me, but for some reason I just cannot get acceptance of any
user name or password.
If it would help I can re-install and submit various error reports that I
receive - however I stress that in every instance I receive positive
verification of printer acceptance and accessibility.
