Hi! 11.3 is just about to come out! Excellent! However, I'm still on 11.2 and I'm pretty much stuck on trying to share printer to OS X 10.6.4. I really hope somebody can help here, even though I know that the problem can also be on OS X side. So, I'm running 11.2 and I have Canon iP4300 connected to the server via USB. I have enabled samba server (from YaST) to share folders. Works... although form time to time it seems that OS X looses the connections and can't get them up before reboot (I changed to OS X from Windows - this isn't making me happy BTW). OpenSUSE server doesn't have firewall enabled (so that at least that is not the problem). I've tried everything, but I'll try to recap now... So, on samba (YaST), I have both printers and print$ enabled. From CUPS, I have published the printer with name canonip4300. The state is "idle, accepting jobs, published". I don't even know if I should be using both Samba and CUPS... however, currently my old WinXP can use the server to print. So, now from the OS X, I can not seem to be able to print to this. I am able to add it to the printers from the OS X GUI as well as OS X CUPS. I've tried to set it with GUI methods as well as manually with these: smb://192.168.1.2/canonip4300 smb://myusername@192.168.1.2/canonip4300 smb://myusername:mypass@192.168.1.2/canonip4300 ipp://192.168.1.2/canonip4300 ipp also with the account... None of those seem to work. The user name and password disappears from Apple GUI and when I try to print something, I just get: "Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)". In the beginning I was not able to print from the old WinXP either because of authentication errors. Those I was able to solve by manually listing the linux user names to the openSUSE CUPS printer share as allowed users. I think that at this point, I also got similar authentication error on OS X, but I'm not getting those anymore. I really cannot understand where the problem is. I thought that with CUPS on both openSUSE on OS X, there should be no problems... :-( So, huge thanks to anybody who can point me to right direction!
