[I don't know whether this is the appropriate list, if not please let me know to whom to write. I submitted this as a CUPS bug and they replied by asking me to contact the "Samba folks"… I guess that is you]
Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro with MacOS X 10.6.4 and am trying to print on my company's printer accessible via samba. Whenever I try to access the print server via smbclient I get: pc-salsa-info-092:py yannis$ smbclient -L vss-cups-03.priv.enst-bretagne.fr -U yharalam Error connecting to 10.29.90.8 (Host is down) Connection to vss-cups-03.priv.enst-bretagne.fr failed (Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) Actually the print server is alive and perfectly accessible via ping. The print server IP is outside my VLAN (my IP is 10.66.145.92 and the mask 255.255.0.0). When I do an smbclient to a machine in my VLAN I get a quite different result: pc-salsa-info-092:py yannis$ smbclient -L 10.66.145.90 -U yharalam timeout connecting to 10.66.145.90:445 timeout connecting to 10.66.145.90:139 Error connecting to 10.66.145.90 (Operation already in progress) Connection to 10.66.145.90 failed (Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) Which means that the 10.66.145.90 is seen while the 10.29.90.8 print server is not. Surprisingly, when I do a tcpdump, I see outgoing frames in the first case (inside VLAN), but not in the second (outside VLAN). In other words: when attempting a smb connection outside my VLAN, MacOS X will not even send a single frame. My firewall is deactivated. What can be the cause of this refusal to do a smb connection? Is this a configuration problem? Strange as it may seem, I managed to print the first day, the problem only appeared the second day and I still cannot print at all.
