Another impatience question.
I've configured my box to connect to a shared printer on a windblows98 box.
Setting up is done on CUPS,

<Printer @Win98>
Info
Location
DeviceURI smb://user:password@someip/sharedprinter
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

After restarting cupsys, I tried to print a test page which not
successfull. CUPS says : "/Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60
seconds..." /
I've been googling around and found nothing yet.

Samba 3.0.21c; CUPS 1.1.23; Printer HP LaserJet 1200 using HPLIP driver.

Thanks,

I believe you have to change someip to somesmbhostname

  

Nope. still the same. Another printer which connected to an XP box with

"ip-based" configuration works fine. I think the configuration is already
correct.

Notes : I apologize to Chris for replying to his email. Another "too fast to click"
