I am so baffled by this.
I have an HP DeskJet932C hooked up to a WindowsXP computer on my network. In Samba I can mount shares just fine. I can even SEE the shared printer when I browse the network in LinNeighborhood. But I cannot print to it. I've tried using smb://guest:@officepc/hpdj and many other variations but nothing works (yes the guest account is enabled). I then decided to try LPD. I have the Print Services for Unix installed on my XP machine. I added the printer in the Cups in the form lpd://192.168.0.2/hpdj but then I get the following error.
"Network host '192.168.0.2' is busy, down, or unreachable; will retry in 30 seconds..."
I am able to ping 192.168.0.2 so I know that it's the right IP address for that computer.
Does anybody have any other ideas for things I could try?
Thanks
