Hello all,
Sometime in the last couple of weeks, I lost my ability to print to the
office printer. If I check (KDE) System Settings, the printer's status
reads, "Paused - 'Unable to connect to CIFS host after (tried 3
times)'". Everybody else can still use this printer, and there have been
no major network reconfiguration events recently. I can't figure out how
to bring this back online.
I tried to simply re-add the long-existing printer again, but the "Add a
New Printer" dialog won't let me browse the network for any printers at
all. The [Browse] button under "Windows Printer via SAMBA" is greyed
out, so I would have to type the URI by hand. But the URI is correct in
the configuration of the current, non-working, printer, as far as I know.
Is there any way to figure out why the current printer is offline,
beyond "Unable to connect"? Not being able to print is really messing
with my workflow.
Well, since it seems to be a Windows printer (e.g. a print spooler
running on a Windows box), did they change the authentication at that
end? Did you change the firewall settings on your box so that Samba
stuff is blocked now?
