samba - Oct 2007 - username with @ (at character) - problems with authentication (CUPS)

Hi all


I tried to set up a printer, which I need to acces using my username.
Unfortunatelly, username contains @ (at) inside. I tried different form 
of escaping (using backslash, unicode value, quotes etc).
Nothing works.

my username is:  abc@domain.com
my password is:  12345678
printer server is:  srv-file
printer name (with space):  KyC2520 WITS

 From various docs i found the URI form I need, to configure the printer

   smb://username:password@server/printersharename


So I did:

#lpadmin -p kyo -P /tmp/PPD/English/Kyocera_KM-C2520_en.ppd \
-v smb://"abc@domain.com":12345678@srv-file/"KyC2520 WITS" \
-D kyo -o printer-is-shared=false

But the CUPS display this URI as (it ignores the first @ character):

   smb://domain.com:12345678@srv-file/KyC2520 WITS



Printer is accessible from Windows, I want to make it working with my 
Linux box.

Can someone instruct me how to pass the @ character in username string?

Thanks

Yup, Samba doesn't like funny characters.  In general, if you stick to 
the POSIX portable character set then you'll be OK.  For anything 
outside of that, you are on your own.

Woohoo! Congrats on getting it working. I figured it would be worth a shot. Glad
I could be of help.
