I am trying to share a Canon MP 250 attached to a windows 7 computer.
I have tried ipp as well as Samba. It appears the problem is W7 does
not recognize the password. I can share files back and forth just
fine.

In ipp I entered 192.168.0.8:631 in host and printers/Canon (the name
I gave the printer on the W7 machine).

In Samba WORKGROUP/192.168.0.8:631/Canon. I have tried using
HomeGroup which is the W7 configuation. I have tried dropping the
:631.

In each instance when it asks for a user name and password, I am told
the password may be incorrect.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

thanks

Open up the terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/hosts.allow
Type in your password.
Then add this line to the file:

ALL:192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0



Save the file. Now try logging into your samba workgroup.

Note: The line mentioned above says "ALL" to make it easier for you in future. But actually, you can replece "ALL" with a list of services, each on a separate line. These services can be sshd, samba, cups etc. You will have to read up the actual documentation on the /etc/hosts.allow file for more deatails.

Well, the first problem is that it is a canon mp250 which the linux printer database says is a 'paperweight', that is to say does not work under Linux, as many Canons do not. I do not know if there will be a problem with Windows 7 not playing nice with Linux.

Thanks for the reply. When I entered sudo gedit /etc/hosts.allow the
first time I got the following messages:


(gedit:4197): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into
`/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create

I entered the required text at the end of the file and saved it. I got
the same message I have been getting- "the password might be incorrect"

The printer works in Ubuntu. Canon Australia has a driver you can
download.

Please don't suggest using 'sudo' to run a graphical application. Please

What version of Win7? Win7 Home Premium does not support IPP and you
need to use http instead.

Is the Win7 printer marked as shared? When you try to login are you
using the Win7 username + password?

This is Windows Starter! You helped me printing to Ubuntu from Vista
and I looked through those instructions and a bunch of them online
without success.
The W7 printer is marked as shared. Using the W7 user name and
password. I can share files and I assume it is the same user name and
password.

thanks

I am 9 hours ahead of you, maybe 8.

Hang on, I tried using the main password, used to login to windows.
Sees the printer. Be back in a bit.

Windows 7 Starter < Windows 7 Home Premium < Every Other Windows Edition.
Windows 7 Starter is meant to be for Netbooks, it's not meant for this.

Either upgrade or use the Linux as the printing server for everyone else.

I found the printer via SAMBA. Sees WORKGROUP/HPG62/Canon. However
then it asks for a printer driver. MP 250 is not on the list. I
installed it from a download from the Canon Australia site but that
result does not produce a ppd or other file the Ubuntu printer installer
is looking for.
