I'm trying to connect to a Windows shared printer using Samba and I'm getting an "unable to connect to samba host" message. The Windows box is definately sharing the printer, since I checked using the smbclient tool:
#smbclient -LWINXP -I192.168.1.101 -U seb9911

Printer Printer HP OfficeJet 300 <<<< Right here!!
I'm setting up the printer by using the advanced option (click "More Printers..." while holding the option key, selecting "Advanced", then "Windows printer via Samba"). I've pretty much tried every form of the URI such as: smb://user
asswd@domain/server/Printer etc... but nothing works. I can connect to shared folders normally via the Finder using a similar URI without issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!
