im experiencing the same problem, i can not use a printer share on linux at all, i already tried:
WinXP (shared printer) to Suse 10.2 (client)
WinXP (shared printer) to Ubuntu 6.04 (client)
Suse 10.2 (share via Samba) to Ubuntu 6.04 (client)
neither worked. I always get the:
Ready: /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed
or
Paused: /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed
error!
i have done all the lates updates!
YET !!!!!!:::
Suse 10.2 (share via Samba) to WinXP client works perfect!
I just had to choose the right driver. no authentication needed at all. I could start printing immediately.
