hi Marc, I had that problem a few days ago, I solved by on the win2k machine in the Printer properties, go to the "Advance" Tab check if you dont have selected "Print directly to the printer" and select "Spool print..." and it should work, at least for me it worked :-)

Target environment is CUPS which uses smbspool as a front-end, and smbspool gives a strange error message. | export DEVICE_URI="smb://account:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/server/printer" | smbspool foo bar Title 1 ignore Makefile gives the error message | ERROR: ERRHRD - ERRgeneral (General failure.) opening remote file Title Same thing happens with | export DEVICE_URI="smb://domain\account:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/printer" When I use a different (wrong) password, the error message changes to access denied, so I believe the account is OK. When I boot my notebook with windows, I can print to that printer with the account in question. So the Windows people say that the server is fine. Am I doing something wrong with smbspool? Any hints will be appreciated. I will be on site again on Friday, so I won't reply to answers until I have tried what you suggested. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
