Due to some crash of my laptop I decide to ditch Dapper and switch to
Feisty. This is the first time I decided to install Xubuntu. Before I
usually used Ubuntu with XFCE.
The installation was fine but I ran into trouble trying to add Windows
samba printer. I used Settings/Printing. The programme properly
identified my shared printer by clicking on it did not add the printer's
address in the upper window (smb:// ...).
I tried to do it manually by enabling localhost:631 and using cups
interface, but still I cannot do it. I think I have the address wrong
for some reason. I tried to run smbtree:
> ~$ smbtree
> Password:
> WORKGROUP
> \\NECAPTOP necaptop server (Samba, Ubuntu)
> \\NECAPTOP\IPC$ IPC Service (necaptop server (Samba, Ubuntu))
> \\NECAPTOP\etc_nec
> \\NECAPTOP\sveta
> \\NECAPTOP\sasha
> \\NECAPTOP\alex
> \\NECAPTOP\print$ Printer Drivers
> \\AC-PC Al's Uber PC
> \\AC-PC\diskl

> \\AC-PC\print$ Printer Drivers
> \\AC-PC\SharedDocs

> \\AC-PC\IPC$ Remote IPC

So I put smb://WORKGROUP/AK-PC/dx3800, but CUPS shows
> "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."
