Hi there,

In order to print from my computer I have to connect to a samba share.

If I do this at the command prompt, using something along the lines of:

smbclient //this.is.my.server/sharename -A /home/al/.ieg.creds

where .ieg.creds contains:

username = UN
password = PASSWORD
domain = MYDOMAIN

It works fine (I can 'put' postscript files onto the printer and lo and
behold, they appear), but if I use the printconf-gui utility to set up a
print queue that I can use from random applications, it is "Unable to
connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...."

I noticed that after using the "wizard" to set up things like username,
it changed the workgroup I entered (MYDOMAIN) to "is" (the second bit of the
server name). So I changed this back to MYDOMAIN.  I have also tried changing
the Queue Type options to:

Share: sharename
Server hostname or IP address: this.is.my.server
Workgroup: MYDOMAIN
User: UN
Password: PASSWORD

Along with a few variations such as:

Share: //this.is.my.server/sharename
Server...: 
Workgroup:
User: MYDOMAIN/UN
Password: PASSWORD

But I just can't get it to work... can anyone throw any light on the
subject?

Many thanks in advance,

Al

P.S. Oh, I'm using RH9 by the way, in case it makes a difference
