these two were key to getting printing working: AuthInfoRequired username,password DeviceURI smb://<your username>:<our password>@<your cups device uri> in Printers > Additional Printer Settings > <your cups printer> / properties, I also set the DEVICE URI (a windows printer via Samba) but DID NOT add authentication: so just: <your cups device uri> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849859 Title: smb printing fails Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in samba package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: when I connect to smb server (nas) permanently appears "Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: Operation was cancelled" The printer at this NAS doesn't work too.
