error: "Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED"

Yeah, so I've a HP Photosmart printer attached to my XP machine (192.168.0.1) and it networked (Ethernet) with a Fedora Core 2.



I need to print




I can set up the printer fine and it sees it and tries to print but I get no activity on the XP end. Then I notice I've got the error "Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" in Fedora.

I have no clue where to start!

pc is running PCCillin, could that be it? I think I have allowed all traffic over the ethernat connection though.

anyone?

Try it with the Guest account. Edit the printer (System Settings > Printing), and on the Queue Type tab you should have a place for username. Enter Guest for username, blank password. Not sure if you need Guest account active.

Spot on mate !
Guest account on XP doesn't have to be active.

For me the fix was to enter the user as follow

 SERVER\username

I was printing to network printer shared on Windows 2003 Server.
