Hi, I added a line to my /etc/hosts file on the debian machine indicating the ip address of the local machine that the printer is connected to and the machine name. Really the only reason I did this was so when I wanted to ping it, I could use the machine name which is 3 letters long, verses the ip number which is 12 char long. Anyway, after that - printing and smbclient -H username started to work. I don't know why, but then I guess I more want to use the machine, then become an expert in debian so I suppose, I am satisfied as long as it continues to work. I admit, I hate when things just start working, or doing something for reason x solves problem y as serendipity. Oh well THANKS very much for all your help. I 'think' everything is working now.
