SMB Printer Install Bug found - with workaround


Posts: 7

Stumbled on the same bug on 3.4-3 RC1 as also documented on the latest Vector Linux distro. I have installed the last few mepis versions without seeing this bug so I assume it is new.

When Installing SMB Printer (shared printer on a windows network) as anonymous my shared windows printers can not be found. If I then back out and momentarily switch to guest (no passwords or other actions required), the printers are found. I can then back out again to anonymous, and then the printers are found and can be installed properly.
