Hi,

Okay, after playing around a little bit for a while i still gotta come
and ask here. I got my printer setup on my suse 10.1 server system and i
can print just fine with my Suse 10.2 client but not with the Windows
client(s). In Windows i can browse for the printer and it shows it up
nicely.
Double click tells me that it'll download the driver to the system but
then it still can't find it and i will need to install it manually.
Anyways, once done this, i can nicely add it to my windows printer(s) but
when i try to print something it tells me "Access denied, unable to
connect". I'm not reallly sure what's wrong since i can print from my
suse 10.2 client just fine. Can anyone help me? This would be
appreciated!
Thanks tons!

Ron,

I don't know if my original post got through, if so I apologize, but in
addition to the above make sure you see "man lppasswd" and make sure the
windows user and password have an entry in lppasswd because windows
tries to auth by sending the windows login and password.

Really? Can't i just open it up for the whole network with no authentication?
Does every Windows user need to be added?
I tried:
lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler' and got this:
server:~ # lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler'
Enter password: {no password so i hit [enter]}
Enter password again: {[enter] again}
lppasswd: Sorry, password rejected.
Your password must be at least 6 characters long, cannot contain
your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.
server:~ #

So does it require a Windows password? Hmm weird, there must be a possibility
to just open it up somehow i think, no?
