I am trying to print from FC4 client to WinXP workstation with a share defined to an Epson Stylus Photo RX600 printer. I am trying to connect with a user account defined on the XP box.
In the CUPs web GUI when it comes time to configure the Device URI I'm specifying smb://user:password/ipaddress/sharename. This should work, in fact I have validated the connectivity to the XP box with smbclient. The problem is I have special characters in the password, particularly the '@' symbol. I have a feeling that is throwing CUPs off. I tried making the change directly to printers.conf but that didn't make a difference.
Can anybody provide a sample, maybe I am typing it wrong in the printers.conf file? Any hints would be appreciated. I'm using cups v1.1.23 which came with my initial FC4 installation.
Thanks - Tod

Make that: smb://user:password@ipaddress/sharename

hey,
You can also print normally means configure the printer through system-config-printer and set the queue type as samba.
Give the proper settings as per the samba like workgroup,sharename(should be same as on windows),machine ip address,user and password.

Thanks! That's what I needed.
