Hi,
I am unable to print from a Windows Vista laptop to my Debian sid
desktop where the printer and samba are installed, in my home
network. In Windows Vista, the printer installed fine via the control
panel -> local network printer, and it is listed as default in the
printers section of the control panel. When printing to that printer
from Windows Vista, nothing is printed and I see no error messages or
signs, other than the following under the printer's icon in the control
panel:
"Access denied, unable to connect"
Checking samba's /var/log/samba/log.nmbd:
Error - should be sent to WINS server
[2009/08/14 14:39:06, 0] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:1502(process_nmb_request)
process_nmb_request: Multihomed registration request must be directed at a WINS server.
followed by numerous similar lines.
My /etc/samba/smb.conf is attached. Any ideas what might be wrong would
be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
