I'm hoping that someone will be able to shed some light on my problem that I'm having w/ getting an NT 4.0 box (SP3) to be able to print to a samba server (1.9.17p3) running Solaris 2.5.1. I've had it working a few times, but I can't seem to get it to work anymore. I've read through just about everything I can think of including the archives for this list. Anyway, basically what I'm getting is the following error when I attempt to print after installing the appropriate WinNT driver for the printer : "The Filename, Directory Name, or Volume Label syntax is incorrect" I get this from within Notepad, and also if I try to print a testpage from the properties window of the printer. The funny thing is, I see NOTHING in the Samba logs indicating that the machine was even TRYING to print! I've tried changing the name of the printer to various things, and nothing appears to be changing the net result. I've also tried doing the following, which appears to work fine : % smbclient '\\justice\201_1718' -P When I do that, it prompts me for my password (which I give), and then allows me in.. At that point, I can type "print \.cshrc" or whatever to get a sample output.. I'm just a bit miffed about why NT is unable to do the same!
