hi all: I try to print from a linux box to a printer connected on a Windows XP box, the two boxes are on the same LAN, samba is latest version (3.0.xxxx) I use smbclient '\\server\Printername' -U user and gave correct passwd, I type 'print' in the samba shell, it shows the printed file transmitted to the XP box, and I go to the XP box to check on the printer status, the job is received, under the owner "Guest" but shows "error-printing' , the file name is "remote downlevel document', the XP box doesn't give me any debugging info, so I have no way of knowing why printing doesn't work. could anybody tell me the reason it fails? ( i used cups too, but I think cups relies on samba, so this is the real cause, and the owner 'Guest' doesn't seem to be wrong, because I printed out from another XP client, and the job went through correctly under the name 'Guest' ) thanks a lot Yang
