Try to change the DeviceURI in /etc/cups/printers.conf to
DeviceURI smb://guest@joyce/HPDeskjet
or
DeviceURI smb://guest@pineywoods/joyce/HPDeskjet
and check if that improves the situation. You have to restart CUPS after
you make a change to the configuration files; to do this, run:
invoke-rc.d cupsys restart
(If this does not work try uppercase letters for user, workgroup and
server.)
