[Samba] Cannot access Windows 10 printer - but can access all other parts of teh server (disks, folders etc)
Hi, I am very new to mailing lists so please excuse any mistakes I make regarding ettiquete etc. On a home network (Windows/Apple/Lunux) everybody has co-operated happily. I recently swapped my Linux system from Mint (Mate) to Debian (KDE) Buster. I can no longer access the Windows machine's printer form Debian. I have tried many things and done a great deal of googling but cannot seem to find an answer. I have the following errors:- Using COMPUTERROOM (192.168.0.2) roger at UPSTAIRS:~/_dev1/source/languageONE$ smbclient -L //COMPUTERROOM Unable to initialize messaging context Enter WORKGROUP\roger's password: Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin Brother Printer HL-1110 series C$ Disk Default share Canon Printer Canon MX870 series Printer IPC$ IPC Remote IPC jessica Disk print$ Disk Printer Drivers roger Disk Users Disk Reconnecting with SMB1 for workgroup listing.

I have spent a great deal of time on this and was hoping if no-one can help me or indeed I am asking in the wrong place, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. Thanking you in advance Roger Tunnicliffe
