Hi,
I've set up printing on two of my collegues machines and it works great. However, I cannot get it to work on mine. All machines are Powerbooks G4 15", one is 1.5 Ghz and the two others (including mine) is 1.67 Ghz. All are running updated versions of Tiger. All are accessing the same printers with the same setup.

To set up the printer I followed these steps that I found on Apple's pages (edited to fit my situation)

1 Open the Print Center (Print Setup Utility in OSX 10.4.6) and click "Add Printer" with the Alt key held.
2 From the main drop down menu select the [Advanced] option.
3 Select [Windows Printer via SAMBA]
4 Give the Device a name.
5 Enter the printer's Device URI in the form:
smb://username:password@uri/printer
6 Select the printer type.
7 Select the printer driver.
8 Finally, ensure that Windows File Sharing is enabled in the System Preferences Sharing pane (in accounts I set my own account)

I've done all this, but still I get either:

Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...DEBUG: PS Matching Mode = Match on Host

Connection failed with error NT STATUS_LOGONFAILURE

or

Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds...DEBUG: Page =595x842; 12,12 to 583,830

Connection failed with error NT STATUS_LOGONFAILURE

Suggestions?

Cheers

Nik

Hi,
following your tip I've downloaded the Combo install for 10.4.6 and installed it. I still get the same error. Will do an archive&install later on. But I'd really like to know what's going on, what these errors are. I got an error once that looked like postscript code. That confused me even more.

I too would love to overcome this printer error. If I cannot, I must give up my Mac. It is not a bad install of the OS IMHO. Once naming issues have been resolved, it has to do with binding to a Windows domain. When I try to bind my Mac to my Windows Server 2003 network, it comes back An unknown error occurred. I have administrative priveleges. I even added the Computer ID to Computers on the server.
