Error printing : Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME)

Question

Error printing : Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME)

We have a Kyocera printer that uses a queue on Windows server of Equitrac.

To configure the printer perform the following configuration in system preferences:

Printer and fax

Add a printer "+"

Customize Toolbar

Add the Advanced Menu

Select Type: Windows

URL: smb: / / user: password @SECTORIALES/128.90.249/kyoceraMAC

Select your printer model

Macs are not in domain. Each time we need to change the password we have to delete the printer and recreate it.

But we fail message:

Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME)

I need help

Please.

Your syntax looks incorrect. If you are using the IP address of the Windows print server (which also appears to be incorrect but I suspect that is just a typo) then you also don't need the domain name - which I assume is SECTORIALES. If this name is the computer name then you don't need the IP address and the computer name - just one of them is sufficient.

So the URL should be

smb://user:password@IP_address/share_name
