smb printing

[Len Krause]

Linux RedHat ES 4 environment running cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.9.10

Can print to Windows 98 printer across VPN using smbclient when both the NBNAME and IP address are specified.

smbclient //S2NEW/PC-INV2 -I 172.20.2.122 -N
smb: \> printmode text
smb: \> print /etc/issue
putting file /etc/issue as issue-2710 (0.8 kb/s) (average 0.8 kb/s)
smb: \> quit

Cannot print using smbclient when only IP or NBNAME is specified:

smbclient //S2NEW/PC-INV2 -N
Connection to S2NEW failed

smbclient //S2NEW/PC-INV2 -W CLICK -N
Connection to S2NEW failed

smbclient //172.20.2.122/PC-INV2 -N
session request to 172.20.2.122 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 172 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)

but cannot print using cups, either specifying the IP adress or the NBNAME.

When specifying the IP Address:
DeviceURI smb://CLICK/172.20.2.122/PC-INV2
or the NBNAME:
DeviceURI smb://CLICK/S2NEW/PC-INV2

the error_log indicates: Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

Is there some way to specify both the IP address and NBNAME when printing with cups?

Thanks
