And how is this a bug? And why a bug that should be reported against KDEPrint??

What happens is this: you are trying to anonymously access a Windows resource that is not accessible for anonymous users. You get "access denied" (rightly so).

Next you try to access the same resource, this time not anonymously (user "guest" is a valid account) and you get in.

(And you do not need to repeat the scan because the wizard cached the results of the last scan and still displays them).

The same will happen, if you used the "smbclient" commandline utility, once with the "-U%" parameter (no loginname, no password), and once with "-Uguest%" ("guest" loginname, no password), and once with "-Uguest%secret" ("guest" loginname, password used: "secret"), depending on wether your Windows allows empty passwords for guest or not.

Can you elaborate on why this should be regarded as a bug of KDEPrint? (Otherwise I'll close this report.)

Thanks.
