Windows Home?

I strongly suspect Windows is configured to foul up the connection.

And it will be very difficult to fix :-(

The obvious solution is to upgrade to Windows 7 professional,
unfortunately. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't work on Home Edition,
like XP compatibility for example :-( I suspect this is just another.
MS's way of "persuading" you to upgrade and put more money in their pocket.

Cheers,
Wol

If its Windows 7, its probably best to use Samba version 3.5 or higher if
your distro offers it.
At least use version 3 or higher.

Hope you solved your problem.

We are using smbclient. 

Additional information - We have determined that when windows live is
installed on the workstation the smbclient is unable to communicate with th
eLinux server.


HOW are you trying to print from Linux to Windows?

Also, what kind of printer?

I am using a samba share.


/usr/bin/smbclient '\\\' -U  -c 
'translate;print -'>/root/Printers/

This is working on several windows printers to linux, and on a Windows 7 
professional edition. But on a windows 7 home edition the jobs run through the 
Linux portion but do not appear in the windows spooler.

[U2] Printing to a windows printer from a linux server on Universe

2012-05-10 Thread T Stokes

We are having issue in printing to a windows printer from a Linux server.
When we try to print to a Windows 7 machine we are getting errors on the
windows seven machine. Has anyone has this same problem.
