Browsing samba shared printers show nothing

[Patrice Vetsel]

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

I use a box to share printers on a windows network. It's a Trendnet TE100-P21
http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=145_TE100-P21&cat=46

Using Jaunty and s-c-p 1.1.3+git20090217-0ubuntu1 I try to add network printers.

I use the Network Printer->Find Network Printer
add the IP (192.168.1.200)
click on "find"
-> but "No printer was found at that address."

I attach the screenshot of the trendnet configuration. You can see that there are multiple protocol enabled.

For informations printers attached to the Trendnet are :
Canon Pixma iX4000 (USB)
Epson EPL-5700 (//)

Last information :
Canon Pixma ix4000 is working great if I set it manually :
lpd://192.168.1.200/iX4000

using Canon iX5000 ppd (Gutenprint v5.2.3)

In final and for information using nautilus samba browsing show nothing too but I don't know if it's a gnome bug, if gnome browsing should show printers, and if it's the same bug as in s-c-p

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

Is I add manually ps-70f869/ix4000 the test report that printer is accessible, so I add the printer, reporting YES to print the test page.

But nothing is print and I have a message in s-c-p :
"Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

If I add manually the IP (but this IP can change).

lpd://192.168.1.100/ix4000 -> works ok !
smb://192.168.1.100/ix4000 -> don't works

What does 'smbclient -L Ps-70f869' say?

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

kagou@kagou-laptop:~$ smbclient -L Ps-70f869
Enter kagou's password:

Now output if you directly use Samba without any frontend (system-config-printer, CUPS, Nautilus, ...) -> Samba bug. Moving ...

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

As requested upstream here is the log.
launch of wireshark
capture
launch : smbclien -L PS-70F869
end capture
save as (no change to type : tcpdump/...libpcap)

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

For informations : samba is installed ! (not by default)
If I remove samba I have this :
smbclient -L PS-70F869
Connection to PS-70F869 failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK-NAME)

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

Here is wireshark log from windows xp

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

Confirmed under final Ubuntu 9.04

The fix seems to be in the works upstream. We will have to do an SRU when its fixed.

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

It's fixed now.
