[Basavaraj Chougala]

Dear Sir,

I am in need of your Help regarding Problem of Printer connection
between Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 Using SAMBA Service

when I Click on Print Test Page---it says that-->"Unable to connect to
CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."   I have no idea what to do for
it

I can ping from Ubuntu 12.04  computer  to Printer Connected  Windows XP
computer using terminal and it gives reply  also..  and also remotely
accessed the windows XP Computer without any Problem using Remmina
Remote Desktop Client. But Problem is in Printer Connectivity.

Could you Help me Sir,

  Unable to connect to CIFS host post maverick upgrade

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

  I expect the computer to find the printer on the network so I can install the printer and use it.

  4)
  I am unable to find the printer in 10.10.

  -----------------------------------------------

  I upgraded to 10.10 and printing no longer works for me. Ive tried
  deleting my printer and re-adding it to no avail. Any help would be
  appreciated! All the other 10.04 systems connected to the network
  print fine  Just not mine.

  Dont know if this will help, but I ran the debugging feature in the
  printing section...

  http://paste.ubuntu.com/498731/

  When looking at the properties of my printer, I see this error:

  "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."

  So to clarify... all the networked computers are running Ubuntu and
  are hardwired to the main computer which is XP and has the printer.
  All printing works fine with the 10.04 computers. My computer was
  upgraded to 10.10 and now printing does not work. I am also unable to
  find the network or the printer now as well.

  The connection info is (or was):

  smb://MSHOME/NET/Printer

  Which pulls up nothing. Ive even tried installing the HP Toolbox to
  see if it would find the printer and no luck.

  Ive also tried finding the printer in http://localhost:631/ with no
  luck either.

  Maverick doesnt seem to be able to see the network at all now.
