Printing over network no longer working
Last response: in Linux/Free BSD
I have Linux Ubuntu running on my laptop.
I had printing over the Windows network working just fine.
However my main Windows machine went down the other day so I had to rebuild it from scratch.
Now when I go to print from my Linux laptop over the network it will not print even though the Cannon Pixma MP160 is selected.
If I try to relocate the printer in Linux none are found if I select Windows Printer Via Samba.
And if I try to browse to select a SMB Printer I get the message that "No print shares found. Please check that Samba is marked as trusted in your System>Admin>Firewall.
However I have no Firewall section in my System>Admin menu.
Any help is appreciated.
It worked with my old Windows XP system so I know I should be able to get it to print again on this one.
Thanks.

You may have to change some registry settings depending on your windows version.
http://samba.org/ has all kinds of howtos and documentation that should help you fix it.
Good luck![:)]( ":)")

Check your registry according to the documentation, make sure the firewalls on both ends allow the samba ports on your LAN, your workgroup is the same and that you can smbmount by hand.
e.g.:
mount -t smbfs //10.0.0.100/share /media/share
mount -t cifs //10.0.0.100/share /media/share
If you can mount a share with the IP but not with a name then check your lmhosts.
I'm sure the documentation has even better advice.
