hi - someone could help me...

my setup is:
linux machine: kde 3.2rc1, samba 3.01, cups 1.1.20
hp laserjet connected to winXp machine, both on the
same workgroup

i cannot connect/print from kde to the printer.
however, smbclient //winxp/LaserJet -N -c "print file"
works, and the same with -P switch fails with
ERROR: Unable to fetch machine password

i found the following bug report:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104138

is it the reason - if so, what can i do?

thanks
aviv
