In case anyone was interested... this turned out to be a Super
BONEHEAD problem....
My printer name was "testron".
Well... come to find out, I have a share with the same name.
Imagine that.
Just an FYI to those new to samba... can't have printer & share names
the same.
=======================
I've recently started adding WinXP (and 2000) clients to my network.
Here's my issue: (It seems to effect both the XP & 2000 machines)
I installed a WinXP machine on the network. I was able to add a
bunch of samba-networked printers to the Xp machine.
I recently added 2 new printers to the network. I added the
printer names to my samba "printcap" file. I'm able to add
these printers to any Win98, 95 machines. But my WinXP machine
doesn't see them. Even if I don't "browse" for it, and just
type
it in manually "\\Server\printer" it errors:
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name
was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its
connection to the server."
I even removed a printer from my network, removed its printer
name from the "printcap" file. This printer STILL shows up in
WinXP. It even lets me install it.
I've even restarted samba just for the sheer fun of it.
Is there some sort of "Cache" or something that stores this
information on WinXP machines? Does anyone have any ideas? It
sure would be "Handy" to be able to add printer to my network...
Thanks!
