I have about 10 printers installed through cups (all working via test page printing via cups webpage). Roughly half of these are experiencing this problem with samba. When I run [root at pluto ~]# rpcclient localhost -U'root%j3yThEiH' -c "enumprinters" flags:[0x800000] name:[\\LOCALHOST\] description:[\\LOCALHOST\,,HP Laserjet8000DN] comment:[HP Laserjet8000DN] flags:[0x800000] name:[\\LOCALHOST\e9hp3015] description:[\\LOCALHOST\e9hp3015,,HP laserjet 3015] comment:[HP laserjet 3015] -- truncated half of them are missing the queue name part in the name field... And when I try to connect to these from windows I get Connect to Printer. Windows couldn't connect to the printer. Check the printer name and try again. If this is a network printer, make sure that the printer is turned on, and that the printer address is correct.
