My guess would be that you can't find the server (netbios name service
not working).  Run smbclient //server/printer --debuglevel=10 and look
for more information surrounding the failure.  NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
is the generic "something went wrong" we use in Samba we we aren't given
a specific error back from the server.  Or it's not an obvious error
such as "out of memory".
