[Bug 817665] Re: cannot print to a printer shared from a windows 7 host

[Clint Byrum]

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to file a bug report!

This sounds like a fairly annoying problem and one that can probably be
fixed. Marking Importance as Medium, as the work around is not obvious.
Need a user with a windows 7 machine to confirm.

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

Title:
  cannot print to a printer shared from a windows 7 host

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version: Natty Narval
  Package used: Samba/CIFS
  What i expected to happen: Succeding printing from Ubuntu, onto a printer shared from a Windows 7 host.
  What happened instead: no document where printed
  SOLUTION: the printername (as in the shared printername on the windows 7 host), has to be set to NOT using spaces (sounds all to common ?!). By now, shouldn't this have been addressed ?
