Have a usb printer installed on smesever 7.4.
Windows XP sees the printer and is able to print, with no problems.
Cannot get the debian machine to print.
Using localhost:631 to configure printer.
Device URI: socket://192.168.2.4
192.168.2.4 is the ip of the server, get this message "recoverable: Network host '192.168.2.4' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..."
How do I configure the debian machine to connect to the printer on the smeserver.
Set cups client.conf;
# Servername
ServerName 192.168.2.4
Have read the how to's and still not sure why the error message.
I have read the chapter 13, I think that was the number, and cannot understand how to resolve the problem.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Cannot get the debian machine to print.
Print using smb or lpr protocols. You are trying ipp, which is not supported by SME.

Welcome to the forums.
As far as I know the printer is shared out using Samba, so you should tell CUPS to connect to the printer in the format smb://192.168.2.4/printerqueue or similar.

Thanks for the welcome.
smb://192.168.2.4/printerqueue = smb://192.168.2.4/brother
gives this error message
"Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)"
-
You'll need to specify a valid username and password in the string.
From memory it goes something like smb://Username:Password@192.168.2.4/brother

Same error message.
I tried to log onto the printer through file manager Konqueror, access denied to share, perhaps the printer is not shared in the server?
Looking the server manager panels, I see no way to set a share.
-
It's shared automagically.
OK, just try LPR instead.
-
in localhost:631
lpd://192.168.2.4/brother
"Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)"
I tried lpr://192.168.2.4/brother and got bad url message
-
An error occurred while loading smb://192.168.2.4/brother:
The file or folder smb://192.168.2.4/brother does not exist.
But I can use smb to access the share named mitch but not the share named brother, which is what I named the printer when I used the server-manager to install the printer.

Just checked on my ubuntu system (this one :P)
Under device URI:-
I have :
lpd://phoenix/ip4000
Now phoenix is my sme server and ip4000 is the usb printer shared by it.
Works fine on my 2 systems 32/64bit Ubuntu os's and via LPR on my XP virtual system
