DeviceURI smb://JOYCE/HPDeskjet
You are not supplying any login credentials to joyce if the DeviceURI is
set up like that. This will only work if your Linux username is
identical to your Windows username and if joyce does not require a
password for that user. Please check if you can see the printer listed
when you run
smbclient -N -L joyce
while you are logged in on your Linux machine as your normal user. If
you can see the printer make sure that "HPDeskjet" is indeed the name
under which joyce reports the printer to samba clients.
