Hi People, Trying to be as informative as possible: I'm trying to add printers drivers to cups-owned, samba shared printer. Called "PDF-Creator" But when I issue the command "cupsaddsmb -U root -v PDF-Creator" I get a "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" Weird thing is: I was able to do this a few months ago. But I noticed the drivers where missing when I wanted to add this printer to one of my windows workstations. So I thought: Well let's just run the good-ol cupsaddsmb and where fine... No go evidently... Only thing changed since then is a newer version of Samba (3.0.4) and a newer version of Cups that came with it (Debian Distro, Sarge) Here's what I have: # pdbedit -L root -v Unix username: root NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-2607698634-1356104974-381704672-1000 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-2607698634-1356104974-381704672-513 Full Name: Home Directory: HomeDir Drive: Logon Script: Profile Path: Domain: ENTERPRISE Account desc: Workstations: Munged dial: Logon time: 0 Logoff time: Fri, 13 Dec 1901 21:45:51 GMT Kickoff time: 0 Password last set: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 19:15:25 GMT Password can change: Mon, 28 Jun 2004 19:15:25 GMT Password must change: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 19:15:25 GMT Last bad password : Fri, 25 Jun 2004 19:16:08 GMT Bad password count : 1 # cupsaddsmb -U root -v PDF-Creator Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA: Anonymous login successful NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED making remote directory \W32X86 NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/PDF-Creator.ppd NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/cupsdrv5.dll NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/cupsui5.dll NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/cups5.hlp Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%keepitsimple' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/40dc5e1025de6 W32X86/PDF-Creator.ppd;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsdrv5.dll W32X86/cupsdrv5.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsui5.dll W32X86/cupsui5.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cups5.hlp W32X86/cups5.hlp' Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/40dc5e1025de6 W32X86/PDF-Creator.ppd;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsdrv5.dll W32X86/cupsdrv5.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsui5.dll W32X86/cupsui5.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/cups5.hlp W32X86/cups5.hlp' Samba log says: [2004/06/25 19:17:07, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(541) Can't become connected user!

Googling it does not reveal anything? Thanks for any help! Mark
