Well, the network is not a domain, and I have guest access to the printer, so 
I don't need a username/password.
Here there's an example of the output of logs:

I [09/Feb/2005:09:43:12 +0100] Adding start banner page "none" to job 40.
I [09/Feb/2005:09:43:12 +0100] Adding end banner page "none" to job 40.
I [09/Feb/2005:09:43:12 +0100] Job 40 queued on 'hp711' by 'root'.

where hp711 has the following configuration in the printers.conf:

<Printer hp711>
Info Centralino Roteglia
DeviceURI smb://192.168.2.11/hp711
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>


Of course I can ping the machine, as well as I can smbclient it:

sede:/var/log/cups # smbclient -L 711 -I 192.168.2.11
Password:

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        PRINTER$        Disk
        HP711           Printer
        IPC$            IPC       Comunicazioni remote tra processi

        Server               Comment

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------


Any idea?

Thanks,
Luca
