Thanks Jeremy for trying to help: > It works for me with gnome-cups-(manager|add) by setup to connect via > samba on other computer that has WindowsXP with printer.

I never knew how > gnome-cups-(manager|add) are doing on FreeBSD with printer. Funny you should mention that. Samba is actually the source of my problem, and I tracked it down in the CUPS log in /var/log/cups/error_log: CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer client-error-not-possible: Bad device-uri "smb://MYDOMAIN\yhassan:mypasswd@PKFILE1/ENG_HP4000"! The reason it fails is because of the invalid characters, it seems. Still haven't figured out which but it's probably the '\'. Problem is, I know of no other way to pass domain information in the SMB uri. *This* URI does work in terms of not crapping out in gnome-cups-manager: "smb://PKFILE1/ENG_HP4000" However, I have to pass the domain information to get authenticated at work. I wonder if this URI-handling error is an upstream issue - it wouldn't make sense if it were just FreeBSD. So I mean to ask: how did you get your SMB printers installed into CUPS with GNOME's CUPS manager? With a simple URI as above, or do you know to send domain info in a more friendly way? ;) > > GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: > > Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols > > specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. > > This error is harmless, you get that because your GTK app is running as in > root.

Actually, I'm curious about how you passed a Samba URI - see above. And thanks 'gain. --Yousif
