Network Printer Help

Hi All

I am still trying to configure the connection to the network printer through cups.  I now get this error message when i try to do a test page print

"Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)"

Any thoughts please ?

Many thanks

Hi,

Just of the top of my head here, but...permissions on the shares?

I have a network printer (server/printer combo) up and running here...but it is an all-Linux LAN here...you (I guess) user windows somewhere in there. If you can be persuaded to drop windows (hey it IS drag and DROP - innit???) here's how I got the printer up and ... printing

@Thor@Flanders

What do you mean, put...permissions on the shares ?  What Shares do you mean ?

Yes the printer is attached to a windows pc and i use linux and both are connected to a network ...

Many thanks

Hi,

Just make sure windows CAN share - but, I'm beginning to suspect you're already there big_smile

Okay, just a thought, here's what I think you got

smbclient //server/Data/ -U share

and you may need this:

smbclient //server/Data -U share

Noticed the difference? It's in the slash after "Data"...
Give this a whack, and do some feedback - if need be I'll sniff tru what I got here as docs...

Wellness

Re: Network Printer Help

Hi,
Ok, me and the trusted Internet...I did a seek&find
http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/29 … amba-setup
and
http://samba.netfirms.com/

I'd check for world-readability too...

Wow, now I remeber why I stopped using Samba... big_smile (no gloat intended) - last time I used it, I recall SeLinux getting in the way...
This is a possible solve:

setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on

But...I dont think that will help ya...

If this (still) fails - lemme know...

Thor

Edit:
This is what the wiki has on Samba:

Edit:
After sifting tru what (little) I got here ... I'm out of ideas...sorry...
