           Summary: NT_ACCESS_DENIED error when installing a samba printer
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: aboelens engin umass edu


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I hit some weird behaviour when trying to install a samba printer using the print wizard. I had to follow this procedure to install my printer (from http://www.mepis.org/node/3458):

Here's what worked for me.
- Log into the Printer wizard as Administrator.
- When you launch the Add printer wizard, choose SMB shared printer.
- In the next screen(user identification), choose Anonymous(no login/no password)
- Proceed to the next screen, and SCAN your network.(This is where you will get the NT_ACCESS_DENIED message if you try to access your Windows network)
- Now Don't touch anything, and go BACK one step to the previous screen (User identification).
- In the user identification screen, choose guest(login = "guest").
- Proceed to the next screen. DO NOT repeat a scan. Just try to access your Windows network in the displayed tree. You should magically see your Windows printer appear without any whining about access.

When I try to scan the network as a guest, I am not able to see which computers belong to the various workgroups.

Cheers,

Arnout
