10.4: Fix an NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE printing error

You can Option-Click on Add Printers. You'll now have an option "Advanced" which allows you to select "Windows Printer via SAMBA" and enter the right device URL.

Ex. smb://YOURDOMAIN;login:password@SERVER/PATHTOPRINTER

Sorry, instead of "You can Option-Click on Add Printers." you should read "You can Option-Click on 'More Printers...'"

This works fine for me as long as my XP computer/printer is connected directly to my PB by ethernet. But when I route it through my router, I still get the error code. Any ideas on how to fix this?

A limitation of SMB is that it does not browse across networks separated by a router. You will need to use IP addresses instead.

The request by your mac to talk to printer XYZ is prevented by the router. Basically your mac wants to talk to XYZ but it doesn't know who that is, so it sends a broadcast out which asks for XYZ to send its IP address to your mac. The router will not pass a broadcast message from one network to another. Thus your mac can't figure out who XYZ is.

If this is setup at a company, you might be able to get the IP address of a WINS server, (Windows Name Server), and that will give you an IP address when you give it a netbios name, ie XYZ.

Still getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE and I tried to method described by club60.org. Is that SMB command syntactically correct? I am trying to login via a domain account, and the syntax given messes up with my setup. Is the full path-to-printer address needed? I have the actual DNS domain added to a search path, but I don't know if smbclient is picky where it needs to resolve the full path for some odd reason.

i now get the NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY error, but unlike another poster, changing the domain to WORKGROUP didn't work :(

I resolved these connection errors using a different smb connect string!!

I found the usual smb-syntax to be given as follows:

smb://workgroup;username:password@server/printername

while I found THIS to work when entered in the appropriate pane in Apples Printer Utility:

smb://workgroup\username:password@server/printername

The only difference is the ";" replaced by "\" !

At least this works for me (Mac OS X 10.4.7) when connecting to a Windows2000 shared printer, that does not show up under the pane "Windows Printers"

Might help others.

Wow, no clue how you found that but it worked for me as well (10.4.8).

Thanks!

Hey, I have tried to access this advanced printer setup window and I have been very unsuccessful at finding it. Could you be as specific as possible and start from launching the "System Preferences"?

I also think that the smb:// string you've shown is off a bit by the semi-colon, i think it should be a colon.
