Bug 81173

So now you no longer even get a list of samba shares to choose from?

For this issue, seeing Linux shares from Windows is completely irrelevant; only
accessing Windows shares from Linux is needed for printing.

For testing whether a Windows printer share can be accessed, please use:

smbclient //smbhost/share password -N -P -c quit -U user

What type of security is set on the Window machine?  Share-level, or user-level?

Please also try this:

cd /usr/share/printconf/util/
python
>>> import pysmb
>>> pysmb.get_host_list ()
(then press ctrl-D).  What does it say?

[root@redhat root]# smbclient //fish/test pass -N -P -c quit -U tom

Er.. fish seems to be your local Linux machine, not the Windows machine.

Also, please undo whatever change you made to stop browsing working at all.

What type of security is set on the Window machine?  Share-level, or user-level?

Sorry about that I changed the names, but I get the same results with this:
[root@redhat util]# smbclient //mshome/test p -N -P -c quit -U tom

wins_srv_died(): WINS server 192.168.0.1 appears to be down.

I think the security is share in the sense that I change the properties of the
folders to share level.

When I revert to previous SMB conf I get a failed NMB start up so I guess I have
forgotten some of the changes - sorry.

Would you mind reverting smb.conf to the default one from Phoebe?  You can get
it like this:

rpm2cpio samba-common-*.rpm | (cd /tmp; cpio -idv ./etc/samba/smb.conf)

The pristine smb.conf will be in /tmp/etc/samba/smb.conf.

OK, done. This brings me back to square one: I get a list of shares, select
windows and the printer, get prompted for uname pw and it keeps prompting for
this information. It gives the printer name as the share instead of the
//share/printer format BTW.

[root@redhat tom]# rpm2cpio samba-common-*.rpm | (cd /tmp; cpio -idv
./etc/samba/smb.conf)

Yes, it's expected at that stage that it just shows the printer name.

So now please try the smbclient command line as before: what does that say now?
 How about if you leave off '-U username'?

What's //fish/test?  You don't seem to have a share by that name at all?  Which
printer share are you trying to connect to?

Well I just tried that after I failed to connect to //mshome/test in case I had
mistaken the workgroup name. Is there any other command you need based on the
output of smbclient -L ?

mshome is the workgroup, not the smb machine name, and so you definitely don't
want that.

'HPDeskJe': is that the full name?  Try //fish//HPDeskJe.

[root@redhat tom]# smbclient //FISH/HPDeskJe  -N -P -c quit

Well, is HPDeskJe the full name, or is there more to it?  What does the Windows
machine say that share is called?

I renamed the printer 656c as I was not sure how to handle the spaces in the
name but I think the error remains the same:

[root@redhat tom]# smbclient //FISH/656c  -N -P -c quit

OK it should not be the same since I renamed the printer! 

The share name is still exactly the same.  The comment (human-readable name)
seems to be changed, but the name of the printer is still exactly the same.

It looks to me like the name of the queue would be something like HPDeskJet, not
HPDeskJe; why it appears truncated I've no idea.

Please try browsing in nautilus (location 'smb:') and see what you find out.

I already tried to start nautilus but this application does not work as I
reported here:
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phoebe-list/2003-January/000701.html 

Then try //FISH/HPDeskJet.

[root@redhat root]#  //FISH/HPDeskJet
-bash: //FISH/HPDeskJet: No such file or directory
[root@redhat root]# smbc
smbcacls    smbclient   smbcontrol

No, like this (as before): 

smbclient //FISH/HPDeskJet  -N -P -c quit

But really you need to find out what the share name actually is on the Windows
machine.  Not the comment, the *name*.

[root@redhat root]# smbclient -L 192.168.0.1

CC'ing samba RPM maintainer: any idea what's going on here?

Are the username and password correct for the Windows machine that spools the
printer?

If they are, what happens when you use smbclient to attempt to access the
printer share?  Use something like "smbclient -U Jay_Fenlason -W JFDOMAIN
//printserver/printername" then type your Windows password at the prompt.  If it
says "smb>", it successfully connected to the printer share, and you can do a
"queue" command to list the jobs queued for printing, or a "print" command to
print a test page.  (Read the smbclient man page if you need to.)

[root@redhat root]# smbclient //fish/hp2 -U tom -W mshome
added interface ip=192.168.0.193 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:

FYI I started rdesktop to verify the uname and password into XP, but I guess
this may not mean that much in terms of samba.

Aha.  So what happens if you try this?:

smbclient //FISH/hp2 -W mshome -N -P -c quit

[root@redhat root]# smbclient //FISH/hp2 -W mshome -N -P -c quit
added interface ip=192.168.0.193 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

How about this?:

smbclient //FISH/hp2 -W mygroup -N -P -c quit

[root@redhat root]# smbclient //FISH/hp2 -W mygroup -N -P -c quit
added interface ip=192.168.0.193 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

Jay, what do you make of this?  It is an anonymous login, but it's saying 'bad
network name' even though we're using the name from the smbclient -L output.

Are the 'Called name not present' warnings from smbclient -L anything to worry
about?
