Hi,

I installed the smbclient package in debian... I can connect to shared
filesystems on the win98 box //LARRY.  Such as smbclient //LARRY/AU. and
the also the printer //LARRY/ML1210 (my samsung printer.)  But when
connected to the printer if I say print.  It says the following:

oube at debian:~$ smbclient //LARRY/ML1210
added interface ip=10.169.17.94 bcast=10.169.17.95 nmask=255.255.255.248
Got a positive name query response from 10.169.17.91 ( 10.169.17.91 )
error connecting to 10.169.17.91:445 (Connection refused)
Password: 
smb: \> print newfile1.ps 
putting file newfile1.ps as newfile1.ps (96.5 kb/s) (average 96.5 kb/s)
smb: \>

But when I check the printer nothing has come out.  Also cups printing
doesn't work but I assume thats because its trying to print to samba and
samba isn't working yet.
