Cannot configure printer that is on a windows server
 

Folks,
* I have a printer issue that I cannot figure out what is going on.* Here's the issue:

I run system-config-printer and I select add a network printer.* I select the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option and enter


TALOFASYSTEMS/TALOFA01/

and click browse.* After a few seconds an SMB Browser popup is displayed with TALOFASYSTEMS as the share name and TALOFA01 as the comment with an arrow in front of the share name.* A couple of seconds later I get an authentication popup indicating I need to login to TALOFA01, which is the windows system where the printer is, requiring I enter a username and password.* This is the output from s-c-p


Caught non-fatal exception.* Traceback:
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 5204, in fillDeviceTab
*** ipp_allowed = f.check_ipp_client_allowed ()

The username it fills in is root, the domain name is TALOFASYSTEMS.* Trying root password returns "Not Authorized the password may be incorrect"


Back in the Fedora 12 time frame I had no problems configuring a printer, to the same system, using samba.* Since Fedora 14 I can longer do so.

If I configure the printer on Windows 7 I'm not asked for any authentication information and no authentication information is configured on the windows server side.


Anybody have any pointers as to how to configure a printer via samba?

Also my mother, who is running scientific linux, is having the same problem.

I have stopped iptables service and disabled the firewall and it still fails.


Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Paolo

If you try to browse the shares of that machine using the File Manager
(Network / Browse Network / Windows Network), do you have more success?

Oh, I need to make an update for system-config-printer to match the new
system-config-firewall API in Fedora 14. Somehow this got missed -- but
it isn't relevant to your problem.

If I run

smbclient -L 192.168.1.110

I get the following. Note that it doesn't matter what I enter when it
prompts for root password.

Enter root's password:
session request to 192.168.1.110 failed (Called name not present)
Domain=[TALOFA01] OS=[Windows 7 Ultimate 7601 Service Pack 1]
Server=[Windows 7 Ultimate 6.1]

I removed some of the output, but it shows the printers I want to
access, but can't.

Dumb question - what happens if you use the Windows name for the
computer, instead of its IP address? I do not know about Windows 7,
but I know XP does not like it when you use the IP address instead
of the computer's name.

smbclient -L MARY-XP works.
smbclient -L 192.168.55.33 does not, even though they are the same
machine, and I can ping 192.168.55.33. On the other hand, Samba
servers will accept either form.

The issue isn't ip address vs name either one works.* The issue is why am I being asked for authentication information when none is configured on the windows side?* I can access the server via smbclient with no issues, but I can't configure a printer using s-c-p because it asks for authentication.

OK... how about if you try with the File Manager (nautilus)? I'm pretty
sure that uses libsmbclient, i.e. the same library that
system-config-printer uses.
